This is a video showing how the 6.2L sounds with headers and a corsa catback. The crew cab is my 6.2L, the 2005 extended cab is a 5.3L with a magnaflow muffler welded in.

Love the sound of mine at startup also. I'm usually remote starting the truck as I'm walking out to it, after work, and I've gotten many, many compliments from co-workers all with pretty much the same question shortly after or before they hear it, "What the hell is in that thing?" Blown 540 big block is my favorite response. LOL!

 

On another note, pulled down 13.8 mpg on E-85 this weekend, unloaded, but 10.8 with my two place enclosed snowmobile trailer on the back with one sled in it. Best unloaded mileage I've had so far on E-85 and by god does she like to pull that trailer on that stuff, yee haw! :cheers:

I'm new to the site, but I gotta tell you it's amazing how some dealers try to sell you what they have and not what you want. But then you find the one that knows you won't take less! I got my silver ice metallic LTZ CC with 6.2L NHT Saturday. It took less than 5 weeks from order to delivery. And it is awesome! It looks very tame but I know it won't be. But I didn't buy it for racing, just towing, boat or travel trailer. The break-in period will seem like forever. Especially since I'm going out of town Wednesday for a couple of weeks. Oh well, patience!

I've said it before and I'll say it again...........

 

Driving these 6.2l 1/2 ton trucks is like dieting, for me. I have as much trouble keeping my right foot out of it so that it gets good gas mileage as I do keeping myself from eating too many nice, big, jucy burgers with an order of fries. Maybe it just isn't meant to get good gas mileage and I'll always be overweight, who knows.

 

I will say this though, quitting smoking after 18 years, was easier than both of those issues, for me lol.

Bought mine in Jan. and the only thing done to it so far is a window tint. It pulls better stock than my old 07 Vmax which had a CAI and catback, and this one is much quieter. Question: I have only run 87 to 89 octane so far, is there really a difference in hp and mpg worth running 92? Throttle response via drive by wire is still horribe too.

Never ran anything less than 92 octane so I can't tell you personally but I'm sure that I've heard around here from other guys how horrible their 6.2's ran on anything less than premium fuel. It calls for premium or ethanol so that is all I run. With the compression ratio and camshaft profile that this engine is running, and being a veteran engine builder, I know that it has the ability through the ecm to pull timing and keep the engine "safe" on low octane fuel but that's not what the engine needs so I don't run it.

 

Had some smart ass kid chirp away from a stoplight in his brand new "boss" Poopstang this morning, on my way to the gym. Needless to say as he was running it out hard so I let the 6.2 eat and matched him door handle to door handle for a few blocks before we hit the next light. I love the looks on their faces when I do that. :rollin:

poopstang... LOL!!

 

dealer filled mine up with 87 so I am burning through it as fast as I can so I can put in some premium.

I've got others.......LOL.Besides, I'm sure (the numbers documented confirm it, actually) that he'd kill me in a 1/4 mile but stoplight to stoplight he couldn't shake me. :cheers:

 

See, that's BS. I busted my dealer's behind to make sure that they delivered it to me with premium fuel in it. Now, whatever they put in it to deliver it to me, no idea but it did show up in my driveway with full tank of Shell 93 in it.

      Differential covers

      By RJL1 · Posted

      I just brought home a 2020 GMC 1500 Denali.  She has 53K miles on her and I want to change out the fluids over the next few weeks.  I see the diff covers don't have drain plugs.  Any suggestions where I can pick up front and rear diff covers with drain plugs?   Thanks,   Bob

      Ac not keeping up

      Well, the dealership got the compressor and installed it. Air at the vents seems nice and cold as it should be. The service manager said the repair has a two year warranty and unlimited mileage. Hopefully I don't have to use it. The dealership i went to was one where I bought my 2014 half ton silverado. In 10 years and 168k miles on the truck anything I needed done and two small recalls they were always very good to me. Not a huge dealer either. I think they treat people well because they want you to come back. I have dealt with a different dealer that was too big to care about an individual. Just my two cents.

      Multigate Connector Difficult to Connect Fully

      By Another JR · Posted

      Hi All, I operate my 2021 3500 SLT most of the time with the tailgate off and in a crate because I have a slide-in camper. However, at least once a year, I take the camper off and put the tailgate back on. Recently I installed the tailgate, but had a hard time getting the connector bail to swing to the fully latched position. The connector seems to fully seat, and everything works, but the bail doesn’t swing to fully latched position.  It swings almost there but stops and I am afraid to push it any harder.    Does anyone have any advice on cleaning or lubrication or anything else I should be doing?  i know how to properly operate the connector. During the time the tailgate and connector are off, i have a double plastic bag over the truck connector secured with rubber bands to keep it clean, but it still had some dust in it this time when I blew it out with compressed air. I didn’t want to spray it with anything other than air without doing some research. Thanks.

      There are a lot of spammer's that do that, quote something and add some commentary to make it seem legit, but modify the quoted text a bunch making sure when posted it's long enough to be "click to expand", and either immediately insert a spam link, or come back after some time and edit it to add the spam link.

      Hello @jaszr2 Do you have a link for the item? I put a replacement bumper on my truck and consequently had to relocate the shutters. I studied on them a while, and figured if you left a couple key blades, you could get most of the airflow with probably no throwing codes.
