Power Numbers

CapitalTruck · January 21, 2013

Nobody at Detroit autoshow had power numbers for me, however, one of the floor reps. said the torque figures of the 4.3 V6 should eclipse the current 4.8 V8

We need a guessing competition on this. My guess is that the DI 5.3 is going to rated at ~380 ft/lbs at the crank, and will get the 9.5" rear axle to handle it.

so the new V6 is gonna have MORE than 305 Ft Lbs of Torque.

i remember hearing somewhere that the HP on the new V6 is going to be around around 315

It was said a while back when the DI design was first leaked that the new 5.3L will get numbers similar to the current 6.2L truck engines. The V6 will get numbers like the current 5.3L V8.

Releasing the HP/Torque numbers will more than likely keep people waiting who are on the fence of switching brands. Was hoping to hear a announcement during the Chicago Auto Show.

I bet that the 5.3 will have 350 hp. I hope more but im not gona get my hopes up too much

Daryl Z71 · February 14, 2013

Id say anything at or above 350hp would be doing pretty good for a 5.3L

Floor rep at the Fort Worth Stock Show told me that they will wait to see what Ford and Ram publish for their new towing and payload numbers first before relasing any numbers for the 2014 Silverado or Sierra. They dont want the competition having time to one-up them. Not sure how true this is, but thats what I got.

Guess its best for them to be tactical right now than jump the gun. But still the anticipation is killing me!

i'm thinking 4.3 is gonna have 315hp 320 tq, the 5.3 will have 365hp 380 tq. 6.2 should have 430hp and 445 tq..... just my guess.

Im more concerned with the 6.2 anyway, because my next one will be a 2500, just for the heavier duty parts. Dont actually need a 2500, but growing up on a farm, Im used to the 2500, and I like the added peace of mind that comes from tougher built parts.

GPGuy · February 18, 2013

I'm very interested in seeing these numbers too.

There is no way of saying that the 6.2 is going to be offered in the 2500HD - they have stayed away from alum blocks in the HD series for several years now. BTW I would like to see the 6.2 in the 2500HD along with a small diesel for the 1500 series

Yep they wont put the aluminum block in the Heavy Duty Trucks. The best chance for a new motor in 2500 is a new duramax and its a few years out.
