What did you do with your truck/shop today

Lol it will be fine. My moms Subaru has more clearance than a K2 with it on.

From what I've seen these 6L80E transmissions are quite proven. My dad's truck has 174k on his with no sign of letting up! That and this truck is also not gonna be rolling big tires and steep gears which I'm sure didn't help lol

Actually I'll probably get weathertech mats and an under seat organizer. Level kit is possible but not for certain. Intake and a nice exhaust will be in the future and quite possibly a BB tune. That's pretty much stock, right!? [emoji23]

EDIT: clearly I don't have an auxiliary trans cooler cause Temps were around 195 in 50 degree weather. That is the first investment I am making, and probably in the next week!

That has been beat to death. Thkse trucks contain a thermostat. It wants to keep the fluid at that temp

Really? My dad's 09 with the same tranny keeps the temp about 90-100 above ambient. Must be something new with the K2 trucks

Yep it shifts better warm. My tranny temps have increased from 90 above to 100 above. We'll see how long it hangs in there.

Yes. They have a built in thermostat. If the fluid isnt warm enough it bypasses the cooler

I was under the impression that the HC came standard with the 6.2. Congrats on the new rig.

I wish haha but the new DI 5.3 pulls pretty good. Transmission is still in the learning phase because it's sluggish unless you really get on it from a dead stop

Well my "road" finally dried up, but I still haven't washed my truck so I get to look at the dirtcicles that are hanging from everywhere. I kicked my side steps a couple of time and about 10lbs worth of mud/sand blocks dropped from each of them. Really need to get my pressure washer going again and really get that undercarriage blasted clean again.
