I thought the reliability of the Chevy trucks had improved over the years.

Haha I'm talking about the 350z.

That would look great on your high country.

 

The 6.2 will open up quite nice with a tune. I don't remeber exactly what I say but I think it was about a 20-30 hp/tq increase at the wheels. I'll try to find the thread and check out the dyno sheets posted. But the 6.2 tuned will have similar results to the new corvettes with the 6.2.

 

Edit: found the post

 

 

 

 

 

 

Well at least you'll have one reliable Z now lol.

Thanks good info there. I didn't think the 6.2 could run on E85?

Throttle response improvement is what I'm really after

Truck looks great, really like the level and 22s [emoji106]

I've been looking into a diablew tune recently for my 6.2, I had a custom tune done on a predator for my old f150

How does it open up the 6.2? How are you liking it

Thanks! The tune actually made quite a bit of difference over stock, one of the most noticeable things being the throttle response and shift points. I also really like the ability to turn off the DoD, which can sound crappy with an aftermarket exhaust when it goes into 4 cylinder mode. I have mine tuned for 93 octane and it is quite an animal. I briefly put it back to the stock tune yesterday to take it in for scheduled maintenance, and that was a good reminder of how improved it is with the tune (I loaded the custom tune back on in the service department lot before I even left the dealership haha) .

Oh shoot I'm the last person you have to worry about offending! Glad to hear your Z hasn't been a headache. Almost everyone I know who has owned had a lot of problems with them past 60,000 miles.

The L86 was actually designed to run on E85 like the other direct injection engines. If you find the initial press release by GM you will that the engine is listed as flex fuel capable. Supposedly they pulled the plug on E85 for the L86 as its numbers would have rivaled the LT1 (corvette) numbers. But with a couple new parts and flexfuel sensor the L86 runs beautifully on E85. And the gains are impressive as well.

Got some fuel mavs this weekend. Truck isn't very clean, but love the look of these wheels on my truck. New tires will be on soon.

Good to hear. I'll get around to having one done up eventually

Are you using the trinity or intune? I don't have many stations with 93 where I'm at but have run 91 since day one and I'm sure a performance tune based on 91 will still kick ass

I have the Intune. It's pretty slow to boot up and such, but gets the job done. Very simple drag and drop of Diablew's tune files from email into the Intune.

I was considering a color matched black grille from a z71...I agree that it's a lot of chrome, haha.

I would interested in your High Country Grille if you do..

Just delivered last Friday! 2016 Chevrolet Silverado Z71 All Star Edition. Love it! The 2012 GMC Sierra was a great truck with no problems, but when I saw this one, I had to have it!

Bought her 'used' with 2500 miles on the clock in June 2012. Started a practice in July 15 and it became my work truck.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Yep, just a quick reference point.    My main point being I’d do a thousand other things before I’d pay 10k for a transmission.    Speaking in ignorance cause I don’t look at these trucks, what is it worth? 20k?

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I think users are going to want to pick their monitored parameters, which parameters they want to see first.    It should probably start with baseline at a minimum and adjust to learned, but be able to overlay baseline for comparison.   A simple severity level would be able to determine what type of alerting is appropriate or user selectable.    Why not use the OBD port though?   I think a phone connection would be a good idea, push notifications type deal.   Number 1 issue is having data is useless if you don’t know what the data should be under normal conditions.

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I thought I would use your thread and add to it as I just did my first longer drive with my truck in the last couple of days. I drove from the Grande Prairie area of Alberta down to Edmonton and most of where I drove in the city was the ring road so fairly free flowing but a bit of stop and go as well in the city. Stayed the night and returned home and not too many stops along the way each way but every restart and certainly every cold start sets it back for fuel mileage. Why I say that is I see some people will cherry pick a fuel mileage leg after the vehicle had been warmed up driveline wise before hand and its a forgiving ( easy rolling drive leg for example ) and call that their fuel mileage which can give a false perception of reality. I was not heavily loaded at all but never the less the flip bak cover, rubber bed mat, various tools etc and extra jerry cans of fuel all way up to a few hundred pounds of dead weight so its not an empty truck. The cold inflation tire pressures are set more near the freezing point so once they are warmed up driving I was showing 45 front and over 40 rear and realize high inflation pressures would help a little in fuel mileage but certainly not the ride on our crap sections of highway. The weather was good so was not raining as that can really drag mileage down, in fact I had a bit of a tail wind on average driving home. Most people on here would never have driven on that freeway to visualize it but its got a fair bit of rolling type of landscape with numerous river valleys. For the most part I had it on cruise set to 62 although kicking it off if I caught it in time before it started down shifting and self braking going down the grades. Most of the more substantial grades its shifting into 7th I believe as 8th just doesn't have it. Total distance round trip was 643 miles and my overall average and I did refuel three times in all, figured out to 17.65 miles per US gallon. My best fuel mileage section refuel within all of this figured out to 18.46 and these are all hand calculated figures. I find if anything that the trucks computer can be over optimistic, sometimes its pretty close but other times its stretching it. On paper persay in theory the truck would have just about made it on fumes for that whole drive without refueling once.    Which made me think of the topic thread of the wonder if these trucks could do 20 mpg and that is a good question, certainly would have to be on an easy going flat highway, no head wind, the right temperature, not packing around a bunch of dead weight and puttering along even slower than I was I would suspect and going steady and not stopping to smell the flowers or take a piss !. It probably is possible but not without effort to attain that with the wind resistance and weight of these trucks. Of course on my drive most people are passing me if they have the power as per loaded highway tractors, never mind a lot of speedy vehicles but the speed limit is 68 and most are at or well over that.

      Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.
