Usually when it fails, it'll stay disengaged when you turn the key .. but anything's possible. When that happens the starter won't spin or click at all - sometimes clicking the ignition key to start a bunch of times will get it to engage ... but at that stage, it's not long before your stuck at the last place you stop.

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.

Fair enough, it is an assumption on an assumption as well so not the end of the world. Thanks for the info. I'll have to figure out a way to test it.

Anyone know what a stock 6.2 ( truck) is doing the quarter in?..I'm hearing 14.9 to 15.9. Thought the hemis were running high 15's already..before they bumped the horsepower up in the ram.

I've got a 2013 Sierra Denali, pretty much all stock, muffler delete, and a CAI but no tune yet... I'll have to post the pic later when I get back to the shop, but I ran a 15.5 at Tulsa Raceway Park. I'm hoping with a tune I'll drop into the high 14's but we'll see. Does anybody on here have a preference on a tuner? I'm leaning more towards a custom tune from XP Racing in OKC, but they don't have an AWD Dyno...

Hey,

 

Any resources on this website for exhaust systems or muffler swaps for the the 6.2L? I have an '13 CC with the 6.2L and want to make it a little louder then stock. Looking for ideas.

 

I was thinking of just doing a swap for a straight through muffler and keeping the rear resonator or thinking of deleting the muffler altogether and keeping the stock resonator but that may be too loud for me.

 

Seems cheaper then a full system to basically achieve the same thing... Magnaflow has a straight through 3.5'' in/out muffler for about $100 that seems would work well.

I wanted the same thing, the truck sounds great stock but my imagination ran wild with how awesome it would sound if it were uncorked a little. I just deleted the muffler (which was the size of a small bath tub) left the resonator after the axle and I'm pretty happy with it. I could probably go back and re-weld the pipe that the muffler shop put in to seal up any small leaks that may be present. But over all I can set off near by car alarms with cold starts in the morning haha

The resonator is basically straight through and will not restrict flow at all, it does its job to help control drone without hurting performance at all. The huge muffler is not a problem in my opinion, it sits under the truck and I never see it. Flo-Pro makes a muffler that is made for the 6.2 trucks with correct offsets and 3.5" single in/out that flows a little better than factory and slightly louder than factory. They make another that is 3 chamber design with 4" in/out that flows even better (and louder) than their 3.5". If the muffler was going into a much lighter vehicle the size and weight would influence me to look for something else but then I would be more concerned about the power lost by my GM 22's compared to factory 20's. Reciprocating mass will slow down your rate of acceleration because of extra weight but more so because the extra weight is farther from the center line of your axle.

 

To keep it smog legal I'm planning to install C6 ZO6 or ZR! 3" cats on a Kooks y-pipe and eliminate my 3rd cat. Downstream I may install a Flo-Pro muffler if the cats and y don't give me enough exhaust note.

So had a chance to start it this morning. Luckily it doesnt sound like a metallic noise like I thought, it more sounds like a snuff noise. Almost like a valve cover breather. Kind of strange. Thoughts?

 

 

 

Mine was making a slight ticking noise so I brought it into dealer to check under 100k powertrain warranty. They found a broken motor mount and a cracked exhaust manifold. Replaced them both free of charge and sent me on my way with a smile of relief.

So I guess its time to add to the group. I have a GMC reg cab SWB 4X4 that is now sporting the guts and drivetrain from a 2013 Silverado L9H, NHT truck. This is the truck that GM should have built. Its been a bit of a project and not quite done as I'm having a few CEL/Airbag lights but I have good friends with the right equipment to address those issues. Just waiting for the weather to get better. Was able to utilize all of the factory exhaust from the L9H minus the muffler, was a bit too long so I had a local shop put in a Dynomax bullet. Sounds pretty good and not too much louder than stock.

Salvage yard. The frame had damage at the rear so I was able to use the front clip and cab for another project.

Yes, GM should have built this! I see you have the high end interior too. I like it!

The only thing that will not look correct is the drivers door switches as they never made the switch panel for only 2 windows. It will be nice to have the cooled seats for the summer.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By KARNUT · Posted

      It wouldn’t have happened if the government hadn’t mandated outrageous fuel mileage standards. It does very little for the consumer. It adds cost. Back during Covid there was a chip shortage. They gave a rebate for your truck if it didn’t have the chip to turn on cylinder deactivation. It was 50$ because at best you may see 1/2 a mile increase per gallon. Splitting hairs each fuel mileage trick wasn’t mandated. The government doesn’t do the engineering work and say use this until it’s already in use and they like it. The fuel mileage was mandated. And those add ons the results. There’s a mandate and they are the results.

      It was never mandated.  Ever.    Automakers were incentivized to install it by getting CAFE credits to help with their vehicle fleet fuel economy scores.  They were being handed money/CAFE credits to install it.  Which is NOT a mandate.       The current admin removed the incentives that were behind them installing it.

      5 Best Slide Down Gameplay Tips! 

      By lanaderay · Posted

      Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!

      Why I Recommend a Desiccant Air Dryer for Cleaner, Drier Compressed Air

      By lingyuair · Posted

      If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.

      My brand new 2007 Silverado's wax frame was rust from end to end partway through it's SECOND winter here in MA. That stuff is completely useless.
