6.2L L9H Sticky

[TahoeL9H]

Hi folks,

 

I had to join for the L9H Sticky..

 

I have a 2009 Tahoe LTZ 4WD, 6.2L L9H that is my old man hot rod... had to have something exciting to drive since i quit drag racing. Great vehicle, just use it for weekend & trips.. It is a hoot to whip up on the Goat Trucks & the TuRD's with a soccer mom Tahoe

 

And it is still stock.. Gonna due a CAI, Exhaust & tune on her shortly..

 

Work truck is a GMC Sierra SLE CC 4WD Vortecmax. this has been the best truck I have ever owned. I work it's butt off & it never quits..haul up to a JD tractor with front end loader & 6' shredder.. no problems..

 

Anyway, just wanted to say thanks for a very nice website & a wealth of info..

 

Good to be here,

I guess you did a 6.2 swap into the Tahoe? Never heard of one coming stock with the 6.2.

The 6.2 was an option for 2009

Yep came in the Avalanche too for a short time as an option. They are hard to find used. Think most people had no idea and didn't even ask about a 6.2 Tahoe or Avalanche. Most people don't join vehicle forums and aren't kept up to date

Thanks for the welcomes & replies... I think I can learn a lot from this site.. great to have a specific 6.2 section..

 

They are pretty rare & I knew about them from a friend who sells Chevy trucks, but never thought about it until I retired & started looking for something different to drive.. I have a restored IH Scout, but it is not good for long trips & has no AC.. kinda a garage queen..

 

I actually was going to buy an 09 Vette, but being old, wide & a bit arthritic, i started looking for something easier to get in & out of but had good performance.. i had an 03 Z71 Tahoe that I really liked, then the light bulb went off & i remembered the 09 Tahoe was available with the 6.2, so i started a search.

 

Well after about 6-8 months i found one with 35,000 miles on it, made the dealer an offer & had it shipped down here to South Texas..

 

One of the reasons you don't see them very often is you had to get the LTZ package to get the 6.2 option, so the price was very close to a Denali..

 

Chevy made 620 of them total... This one is Champagne Silver with Cashmere leather.. nice & cool down here.. 104 air temp today.

 

It really is a hoot to drive,

Champagne silver? Should be Silver Birch. We had an 08

 

Any photos of your Tahoe? I have only heard of one other person with the 6.2 (it was a gm exec vehicle)

[dgrinnell]

Agree we need some picture's!

[TahoeL9H]

Nope, not Silver birch, had 3 of those, a Sebring Silver Corvette, this Officially is Gold Mist Metallic, but I have been told to call it Champagne Silver.. If you would like to debate the point, I will direct you to "She That Knows All" but be forewarned, you will lose

 

I will try to upload some pictures later.

Cannot upload pictures easily.. Says file is either too big or does not recognize Picasa files.

 

Don't have time to mess with it right now..

 

Thanks,,

I use photobucket theres an app and it easy to use

[gbieber05]

Welcome! Try using the tapatalk app if you have a smart phone, it works really well. If not u can always drag them into paint on your computer and resize about 50% depending what quality the camera is.

[TahoeL9H]

Trying again to upload some photos.. i guess i downsized them enough.. I do not see size restrictions, what are they??

 

Last shot with the snow is from the dealer I bought it from or maybe a GM ad..

 

Thanks for the interest
