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.

2009 was when they were first offered on the L9H 6.2 on LTZ crew cab models. Prior to 2009 there was a VMAX option it was a 6.0L with the 4 speed.

 

NHT models are 3.73 rear end. Yes all have 6 speeds. Not all 6.2 trucks are NHT. Mine is a Z71 with 3.23 rear gears. It's a 2010 LT crew cab model. In 2010 they offered the 6.2 in crewcab and ext cab trucks

Nice truck! Did you buy private party or from dealer? Used 6.2 sierras are next to impossible to find in my area.

Sorry for the late reply, been a busy Summer and I haven't been on the site for a while.

I bought it from a GMC Dealership in Minnesota, flew over there and drove it home 750 miles. I got 19 mpg on the way home with it.

It doesn't get that anymore though after installing a 4" CST lift, 20x10 Hostile wheels and 295/55/20 Toyo MT's.

I don't know if I read anywhere in here if anyone has removed the rear resonator. I want to eliminate the tailpipe at the rear and just have a tip installed after the rear axle. I just don't really want it to be much louder then stock. Thought maybe eliminating the resonator and adding the tip in place may cause some drone which I don't want.

Remove the third cat instead. That will not cause any drone and will give you a bit more noise.

I am really just looking to eliminate the tailpipe straight out the back. What I would like is to just dump it over the rear axle with a new tip, but that resonator is there. I wanted to see if anyone else has done this and whether or not I would get drone without the resonator.

Anyone near me have a GMC 4x4 crew cab 6.2 they are selling? Of course I’d prefer a private party non rust belt truck ;-)

Drone reduction is what the resonator’s purpose is.

That's what I was afraid of. Was hoping someone here had done it and could say whether or not it actually caused drone.

They are tough to find, unless your looking for a newer then 2013. I searched for 6 months, but I only wanted white and it had to be an LTZ or SLT crew cab.

I ended up getting mine in Minnesota, but it was very clean. I had them put it on a hoist and send me pictures of the underside to make sure I wasn't making a wild goose chase.

Not really a 6.2 engine question but the 6.2 transmission from my Escalade. I'm looking to rebuild a 6L80(e) over the course of a couple months because I think mine is on its way out (180k, hard shifting, etc...) I'm a little confused with sourcing a core though. Will any 6L80(e) work? Or are they specific to the 6.2 models - i.ei bell housing, bolt pattern, case length, etc... I can find the 6L80(e) all over the place in junkyards in Tahoe's, Silverado's, Yukon's, all with the 5.3. Will there be any problems using this? Aside from the AWD transfer case obviously.

You will get more responses if you start a new topic for your replacement 6l80 search. I know 1 or 2 forum members have swapped in a 6.2 to replace their 5.3 so as long as you junk truck or suv is a 2009 4x4 with 6l80 you should have no problem. If it was me I would find the sticker or stamping on transmission and make sure the model number matches along with electrical connections. I’m sure GM mass produced the 6l80 and stuffed it behind 5.3 and 6.2. FYI 4.3 v6 and 4.8 v8 reg cab or work trucks still had 4l60 even after 2009. 

 

Of of course these are all my assumptions :-)

 

BTW I remember reading a article of a company swapping in the 2wd 4hi 4lo transfer case to replace awd transfer case. They said it was as easy as doing the swap and all connections plugged in. Just had to source the 4wd selector switch for dash.

Can I join this club with a new to me 2007 Yukon XL Denali? “Upgrading” from the old faithful 2003 5.3L Yukon XL, and I’ll be having lots of questions about all this new fangled technology I’ve got myself into.

      Fluid Change Questions

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      There would be one way of determining the quality of the factory oil although probably more than a typical oil lab test, and that would be to draw out some oil from a new truck and send a sample to a lab that could do a more elaborate test of the oil. The issue with too little oil in the diff may not be the lack of lubrication of the diff bearings and gears themselves ( although a lack of oil volume for cooling ) but the wheel bearings because at some point the oil would be too low to properly get onto the spinning axle or fed along the axle tube. That was the claim by the local dealer from a couple of trucks in recent years that had the wheel bearings fail and they figured from lack of sufficient oil due to a severe underfilled diff and some of the bearing material made its way to the diff and it got damaged as well so the axle housings were just replaced on warranty. But your right that if the diff is over filled by whatever margin that it causes more churning of the oil than is desirable and that is no good either and can cause a pinion seal to leak. Also old oil I believe can tend to loose some of its properties like antifoaming and another good reason to change the diff oil every so often.

      I would be surprised if the diff's were not filled (with the cheapest gear lube) at the axle factory before being shipped to GM.  If you ever watched them building trucks they install the axles and all suspension parts with the frame upside down and then turn it over before its time to install the engine.     Too much gear lube in a axle can be worse than not enough especially with a lower quality GL where is get whipped up with entrained air (foam)  weakening its ability to lubricate.

      This is the 6.6 gasser section of the forum, you should either delete or modify your previous post as it is misleading for anyone looking for factual information on their 6.6 gas engine.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Well....I've done my first intake gasket. Probably wrong, but...we'll see?   Ultra black on the china walls and 1/4" up onto the sides of the intake gaskets. Permatex High Tack (couldn't find Gaskachinch) on the head side of the intake gasket. I read wrong and it says you're supposed to put it on the mating surface of the head, not the gasket. Hoping it's like a PB&J sandwich where it doesn't matter what side the PB goes on so long as there's jelly. That crap is messy/sticky and I got a dab or two on the intake port openings, tried to wipe it off. Hopefully it won't be a big deal and will only aid in sealing.   Per instructions I left the intake (top side) of the gasket dry except for a light smear of RTV around the coolant ports. Wiggling the intake in there was a bear but I had help to free me of surrounding wiring/stuff but I was basically able to set it straight down lined up with the bolt holes.   I did not think to wait until the RTV skinned over but there probably was 5-10 minutes while it sat before installing the intake.   Bolts finger tight first. Then, followed the Chilton's manual pattern to snug them to 15 lb-ft.   Waited a little over an hour, and then did the final torque in sequence again to 35 lb-ft.   Yesterday I replaced the fuel pressure regulator and got my new "nut and bolt kit" (fuel lines) installed. Damn GM used security torx on the spider, which I don't have, so I got scammed at the local HW store for an off-brand security Torx bit set.   The new driver's door mirror arrived yesterday, so, there's a chance this thing could be running and road legal tomorrow? I don't want to get my hopes up.   This will be my first time stabbing a distributor, too. Although, lucky me, someone else marked the old distributor for removal previously, I did see that. (Someone's been here before!!). Engine is still at TDC so it *should* be just a matter of transferring the mark to the new dizzy and rotating it into place.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      He has his dad’s newer truck he’s put away. He has several old cars he rotates between him and his family. I’ve seen a restored square body and a SS Chevy truck he’s sometimes drives. He did raffle off a new suburban recently. As much as he is watched if he drove new stuff as a rule we’d know it. It would be fine by me. I don’t care what people prefer. I got one more new one in me. I’d rather my wife get one. I can’t get her out of the Genesis. Don’t tell anyone. I want her to get an electric truck. I want to put a generator in the back. Just because. She hasn’t bit yet.
