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.

      Replacing 2.7L on 2021 Silverado with 2023 2.7L

      I’m definitely interested to hear the end result here.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.

      Rattle in the rear!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Years later, your thread is still helping Silverado owners.   I bought my 2025 Silverado 1500 in January 2025, and I've had what feels like the exact same rattle since day one. After reading your findings, I believe my truck has the same issue with the cable carrier contacting the rear sliding window. To be honest, I had pretty much given up on pursuing the issue. It wasn't until I recently drove another brand's pickup that I realized just how quiet their cabin was—and how noisy mine has been all along. On my truck, the rattle happens on almost any paved road, gets even worse on rougher pavement, and I can even hear it during braking and acceleration.   I actually referenced your thread when submitting my case to GM, hoping they'll recognize this as a recurring issue instead of treating it as an isolated incident. The reason I reached out to GM first is because my dealership told me they would need to keep the truck for at least two days just to diagnose the problem. I was concerned that even after two days, they still might not be able to identify the source of the rattle before giving the truck back to me. I had also asked a few dealerships about this issue during previous service visits, but none of them seemed to know what was causing it or had a solution. That's why I decided to contact GM directly first, hoping they might already have an official repair procedure or guidance for this issue.   I also hope GM eventually comes up with an official fix for this problem. I have a feeling there are many Silverado owners experiencing the same rattle, but most either choose to live with it or simply don't know what the cause is.   Really appreciate you taking the time to document your diagnosis. Your post is still making a difference years later.
