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.


Your Yukon does not have an L9H 6.2 which this topic is specifically geared towards.

Yours has the L94

Hi guys I’m new here as I just recently bought a Sierra 6.2. Now as I do not have a baseline to compare it to, id like to get your insight on this: Idle sound. (I will attached a video of Idle, I sort of hear a scraping sound in the beginning, just me?) if anyone gets a chance, give it a play and tell me what you think. Normal? Not normal? And if you want to show off :P, attach a sound of your 6.2 for comparisons sake. Thanks so much guys!

that sheeeeeeungg sound is normal.  Sounds more like the starter disengaging.  Congrats on the new truck as well.

Ohhh, ok. Thanks for the quick reply and the congratulations(it really is a beast of a truck). Here is a longer audio clip, if you guys can access it. Thanks

I have a 2011 Silverado 6.2L with nht and when I asked the dealer about front end and rear end and transfer case fluid change they said front and rear use part # 88900401 and transfer case uses auto trac fluid part # 88900402. Does this sound right?

Really late reply but it is a 75w90 gear oil and i recommend the Amsoil...but I am biased:)

Hey guys, new to the forum and dont know much about vehicles so bear with me. I bought a 2013 chevy silverado 1500 6.2L about a year ago. E85 is abundant and cheap where i am from so 90% of the time i run E85, unless im in the middle of nowhere and the local gas station doesnt have it.Truck is leveled and my average mpg on e85 is 12.75, but will run 14-14.5mpg on highway. Tires are starting to go bad and i plan to go to a 265/70 r18 tire, a little bigger than the 265/65 r18 stock tire. i am going to get a tuner to calibrate the bigger tires so speedo and odometer are correct. My question is are there any e85 tuners/tunes out there? i have been researching but cant seem to find anyone talking about a tuner you can plug in for e85. Any help would be appreciated!

Your truck is comparable with E85 what do you want to tune it for? General performance? My 2010 runs almost exclusively on E85. Have it tuned (not related to the fuel type) by blackbear performance

Yes sir, General performance. Maybe something that could increase mpg

I purchased a 2013 Sierra with the 6.2L used from a dealership. the previous owner has installed an unknown tuner to the vehicle. I am trying to install another tuner but it says it needs to be returned to stock before it will install.

 

How do I return it to stock settings?

Posted

I can be flashed back to stock by the dealer. Worst case.

Picked up a Denali 6.2L last night. Love the power compared to the 5.3 but def needs more power to be close to the smile my Dmax gave me. Tons of good info on here for sure!

    • I have the same running boards on my truck and I do agree they are bulky. I also find myself stepping over them when getting in and out of the truck. Besides providing protection to the rocker panels, they aren't very useful.  I will be replacing them soon with the Amp Powersteps. 
    • Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.
    • 10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O. 
    • Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.    
    • apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.
