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.

I'm getting ready to trade my 2004 2500LD in on a 2012 1500 with the Max Trailering.

 

Did any build times have trouble with the 6.2L's burning oil?

No.

 

Matter of fact, just changed mine last week and after 6,000 hard miles, not down one drop of oil from where I left it when I last changed it.

only had one oil change in my '11 and not a drop missing! (only 6300 miles as of now)

I am just over 25K with no oil usage issues (other than an oil cooler line leak that was fixed Dec 2011)

Im at 33000 something miles and no oil usage problems. Runs great and for some reason these past few weeks the 6.2 seems stronger, possibly getting into its rythm after break in?

Cooler weather? That is what I am seeing it really hits it stride in the 50-70 degree outside temps

08 Denali stalled when pulling trailer.Called AAA by the time I got a ride and trailer home ( Loaded with 3 horses) tow truck driver calls and asks what's the problem truck starts right up. This has happened 3 times? talked to other owners and it's not uncommon .according to them any ideas other than throw money at the dealer to be told to bring to bring it in when it's acting up,which is kinda funny cause you cant't drive the damn thing.

I now disconect the battery and wate till it resets then start it,which works but I am driving a 62K truck not a Mahindra.

PS.No throttle body, fuel pump or fuel filter storie,s been ther done that.

Thanks

PIT4816D. That is where your dealer needs to start.

 

Not sure why this was posted in this thread for though.

Been away from the site for what seems forever.

 

Hey Ryan I am wondering how you like your 6.2 now that you have had it for a while.

 

I bought mine right after you bought yours but I have not driven it much. That is all going to change in a few months. Plan on towing a bike trailer down to Phoenix in November with it. Last year we took the wife's 5.3 and it did OK but the gas mileage was no hell!

 

I'll see what the 6.2 will do!

Love it. So much so I added another 6.2 to the garage :)

 

So far I have 25k miles. Next major mod will be tires this fall possibly

A Grey Camaro! I love it. Right on!

 

Could not have made a better pick for another 6.2!!!!!

Any mods to the Camaro? I know where do you start. There is so much after market stuff for them now. Even some of the stuff GM is offering through parts for them is amazing.

Well that is just Dandy. If I was not 2500 miles away from you we would have to have it out. You in your Camaro and me in my Vette.hahahah

 

 

PS: new site is very nice to use! much better than the old V Bulletin type.

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

      Have considered installing a DC to DC charger in your camper to replace your isolator?

      Gas fill door

      Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.

      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?
