Can't wait till this new 6.2 comes out. It will be very interesting to see just how much better it is then the current generation. Should be fun once this engine makes its way into the trucks as well.

Look at the first video and at 1 minute it looks like a tt v6 on the engine tilt stand ??? I know its early but am im missing something here ??? Air intakes coming up both sides, what looks like a waste gate actuator and turbo housing the tech is working on ?

It's almost hard to believe that GM is still pushing this shitty AFM on everybody. You would think by now that they have learned their lesson with these trucks alone. What a way to destroy a 6.2L engine. Way to go GM, you'll pay for it in the end.....wait, we will all pay since GM gets our tax money.

 

Also noticed that there is no more Mobil 1 specific engine oil fill cap, just a giant Dexos stamp. Wonder if they switched brands of factory fill oil?

AFM is hardly a failure- 5.3s are produced two to one over every other GM V8. And driving with 6th locked out in town keeps it off. On the highway, just drive aggressive, it works for me. :lol:

Thanks for all the great info here! I can't wait to hear the specs on the new truck engines.

I notice something anytime you have to say something its negative. I think you are just a troll .

WOW......Apparently you don't read anything I ever posted or you are confused?

 

Sorry AFM is not a good thing that's my opinion, I own 2 trucks with it and had it tuned out because it makes the truck run like crap.

There is nothing negative about what I posted, just pointing out what I saw.

Please keep the AFM good/bad debate out of this thread. AFM is loved by many and hated by many more... but it's here to stay.

Thanks Mervz, all very good info. Looks to be a very promising engine. Yes, you are right, AFM is here to stay, and it looks like they addressed some of the issues in the valve cover re-design on this engine. I am still glad it is not on my 6.2..... LOL

Don't get me wrong. I don't wanna mess up the thread.

 

But the new engine comes with the AFM. It was a big issue in the past and GM did not acknowledge the problem.

Otherwise they would have said that the new engine is redesigned and the problem with the oil consumption is solved.

I mean they KNOW that there are a lot of unhappy customers out there just because of that problem.

 

To make my point...when GM offers no more engines w/o AFM I'll consider to buy my next truck somewhere else.

The sad thing is that I actually like the idea of the AFM and I like GM trucks.

 

so long

Yes I might have you confused with the wrong person.I think I might of thought you were someone else . Sorry if I am wrong .

Love the new engine, hate the fact that it has AFM. I will not own another one equipped with it. My .02...

      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

      By jaszr2 · Posted

      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?

      Tire pressure for 37s

      By PBNB · Posted

      Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter
