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 was looking back at this thread and i didn't see where i had been on for a while since i bolted my headers ans supercharger on. Back in September i did get a chance to go to the track and lay down a pass. I got a 12.9 @ 106 with a 1.82 60ft . That was all wanted to know for right then. i knew i couldn't do anymore because the injectors were maxed. My ID 850's are in my hands so now i can get back to where i left off. I got Justin from Black Bear making me a tune for my new injectors and a smaller pulley to go on the supercharger. I think i'll add some meth injection after that.Then back to the track in the spring when it opens.

hey guys, there's a seller on ebay called sickspeed performance that sells all sorts chrome badges, they have the 6.2L number in different colors. I bought one from them with the "AWD" instead of the 4x4 that my truck is and get lots of questions about it. the quality is great, i placed my awd emblem on the front grille. the 6.2L looks good on the hood in my opinion.

Just wanted to say that my gas mileage has improved since my 6.2 has broken in. I am up to 16.1 mpg 80/20 city/highway. I always run 93 octane because my station does not carry 91. Mpg goes down noticeably when running 87 so I don't use it. It will go down during summer because I tow a 6500lb boat around. My previous 5.3 got about the same so it is a great trade off in my opinion.

Anyone know what involved in removing the tail pipe resonator on the 6.2L? I want a little more sound and bet it would be a good temp fix until i do full exhaust. Is the resonator clamped on? havent had a chance to look under it yet and inspect. thanx

Has anyone had their truck tuned to run E-85? I thought at one point in time I had read somewhere someone had it specifically tuned for it and it did better on mileage I just cant find it anywhere. I would assume that if you did it for E85 you could still run 93 if E85 wasnt available.

I am wanting to ditch 09 with the 5.3 for the 6.2 in this body style. I like the new body style but Im just acustomed to this one and Im just hoping to get a good deal as soon as the 14's hit the lot.

All I run is E85. It didnt require anything special tuning wise.

Why E85?

      Gas fill door

      By newdude · Posted

      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.

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

      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?
