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.

Eat your heart out EB fans. This is no b.s. and no I was not drafting a semi, going downhill or gettting pushed by a good tailwind.

 

 

Good to see that! Just called on a 2010 GMC with a 6.2 & asked the salesman to tell me what the avg mpg was... 13.2 with 53,000 miles on it. Hope the guy had a lead foot because I am still going to go check it out.

 

Mine probably averages that as well but I only have a 2 mile drive to work and I'm usually running ethanol these days.

 

Don't buy it for the fuel mileage. My post was just to prove that a similarly equipped EB F-150 DOES NOT get a ton better mileage than a 6.2l GM. ESPECIALLY when they are towing a load then the GM 6.2l kills it.

 

No worries there. But I probably look to hard because I own a semi with a C12 CAT, so in my world tenths make a difference. :driving:

Anyone going to try Maganflow's catback p/n 15121? I've run Magnaflow kits on my last 2 trucks but have to wait for a screaming deal to pull the trigger on this one. BTW, I switched from 87 octane to 93 octane and haven't felt any power increase, TBD on fuel economy.

Had a chance to check my mileage on a trip this past weekend. Mixture of interstate, highway, and city. (2012 crew cab with Max Trailering Pack.)

 

First tank almost all interstate: 16.0

 

Second tank interstate, highway, and city: 14.1

 

Third tank interstate and highway: 16.9

Save your money and just buy the muffler #12909. It will fit with a little modification.

OK after 3700 miles and a fresh tank of 91 octane fuel I tested the MPG's with my 6.2 and 3.42 gears and drove around 200 miles and got 18.3 MPG according to the DIC. It is the best MPG's I have had yet!!

Thanks for the p/n. Any soundclips online with just the muffler (no headers)? Came up empty on a search. What kind of mods are needed with the muffler only swap? I'm sure my local exhaust shop can handle it, just like to give them a heads up.

Out with the old and in with the new Guys and Gals. Well I was happy with my ext-cab truck but that was until my baby girl was born on the 16th of May, now it baby seats wife in the back, and all the rest that goes with it LOL. I am picking up my new 2012 silverado Texas Edition CC on Monday 6-27-2012, with a few more options chosen this time but I am sticking with the 6.2 L as I really enjoy having it in my ext-cab 2011 silverado. There is just not enough room in a Ext-Cab, it only took me 2-3 trys loading the baby up w/car seat and I said to heck with that and went shopping on line and visited a few dealerships for best price and deal I could get and settled on a White CC that I will transfer all my mods over to as soon as I get it. and post picture soon.

Checked my mileage again this past weekend while towing a 6' X 10' enclosed trailer. A bit over 200 miles each direction. Running 76 mph - 77 mph into a headwind going I got 8.7 mpg. eek.gif Coming back I drove 74 mph - 75 mph and had a slight tail wind. Got 9.8 mpg. frown.gif Not good at all considering how little weight I was hauling. Going to be "interesting" to see what I get when I tie onto my 7' X 16' enclosed trailer....

Wind will kill your mileage, even more then the trailer I bet. This past Satuday I drove about 150 miles, unloaded, with about a 15-20 mph hour cross wind, and while driving around 70 I was getting a little under 14 according to the DIC. On the way back last night, driving about 69 on interstate with no wind I was getting about 17.5 according to the DIC

Does anyone know if the vette servo works on the 6.2 with the 6 speed auto? From what info I found it seems that most are for the old 4 speed auto? Also I plan on getting a BB tune down the road after some other mods are done but didn't know if the vette servo is really worth it if I get the same results from a BB tune down the road. But what gear range does the vette servo apply too? I hear a lot about torque management with a BB tune and wondering if the vette servo does the same thing in terms of torque management? Thanks in advance!

No servo on the 6 speed.

 

Got 14.5 mpg pulling my 2100 lb pop-up camper and about 500 lbs of additional cargo running 75 mph over a 300 mile road trip this past weekend and I was bucking 15-20 MPH winds up and back.

 

Edit:

Oh and the a/c was on too.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Active Grille Delete

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      By jake111 · Posted

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?

      Tire pressure for 37s

      By PBNB · Posted

      Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter
