New here. My new 2018 z71 ltz midnight edition with the 6.2. Coming from a 08 2500hd duramax that was pushing 700hp to the wheels. Just got tint done today on the new truck.

How do you compare the 6.2L on the half-ton chassis to the Duramax?  I had an 09 Dirty that dynoed around 700/1150 as well and have been trying to get back into a GM product for a couple weeks now (daughter came and I had to sell my truck, found a great deal on this ram but don't like it much and got a couple raises at work so looking again).  My local dealership is currently on the lookout for any 16-17 6.2L's for me in my price range.

Any thought to put those raises to work in your retirement, your daughter's college fund or in to a healthy savings account as opposed to a new truck?

I'm already putting a ton towards retirement, daughter gets $250/mo in her 539, and I have super cheap FEPBLUE insurance.  I've got all of that covered. ;)

Honestly man I love it! Ya the duramax was sweet especially with 100%s, 10mm cp3 and the s369sxe. It literally took 20k though to get 700hp lol. 5k in a 6.2 and you will be running just as fast as a 700hp cc dmax. I live up north and was just sick of gelling issues, additive etc. 

 

I own my own construction business installing tile showers etc and wood floors. I have a 7x16 cargo and a 7x14 dump trailer. I had the dump trailer loaded at 8500lbs and my 6.2 towed it great. Plenty of power and braked just fine especially with trailer brakes. 

 

Only thing im going to do is throw some sumo springs on rear and possibly coil overs up front. When loaded heavy it can really want to bounce, front end included. I jacked my stock duratracs up to 50 psi and that helped with sway a ton. I knew the only sway I was getting was from my tires. They are 18”s with duratracs which I’ve read have really soft sidewalls even on the 10 plys. This summer I’m buying wheels and ridge grapplers so I’m sure that will make it even better. 

 

So so far though the 6.2 amazes me, apparently guys are running high 13s all stock crew cabs with 6.2. Once you get her wound up she pulls hard, my plan is long tubes and a e85 sensor and tune. Those 2 mods alone guys are gaining 80-90hp to the wheels. Be a good 420ish whp after tune and headers. At 5500lbs also vs the 7500 of a duramax. I’ll bet tune and headers could keep up with a built trans max effort dmax all day.

Looks good with the chrome wheels. Everybody does the black wheel thing but the chrome looks best with the chrome bumpers.

      Lower trims ( WT, Custom, Silverado ( aka LT )

      By newdude · Posted

      HD at the moment, are kinda their own deal.  How LTZ sells on those vs on 1500, there is a difference.   They are merging most of the mid trims on 1500.  LT, RST and LTZ are replaced by one trim, Silverado.  LT and RST are a BIG portion of sales.    Bad naming choice aside, the new Silverado trim will offer the spread of options that those three trims offered.  So expect to see things like the tech package for example, and memory seats.  And LT Trail Boss will now just be "Trail Boss" (formerly LT Trail Boss) but will offer content spread like the new Silverado trim will.  The press photos showed the Trail Boss (formerly LT Trail Boss) has access to Super Cruise now, which on the current truck was High Country only.       Here is the Trail Boss interior.  Memory seats and Super Cruise are present.  All things the LT Trail Boss it replaces, and the RST it was based on didn't get on the current gen.  You had to go to LTZ or ZR2 for memory seats, and High Country for Super Cruise.

      2021 vs 2026 handling (1500 X31 Sierra)

      By dennismc · Posted

      I installed a Hellwig rear sway bar on my 21 Sierra SLT, it made a huge difference on how the truck handles, no body roll, the trucks much more planted now. Not sure of the suspension differences between the 21 and 26,  if its body roll your having a sway bar will solve it.

      frustrating P0446 code

      By Old Bay · Posted

      So a follow up and my fix. I found in online searches the live data to look at on a scan tool to verify the fuel tank pressure sensor was working.  It showed an spec number towards the lower end of the rang, but in spec.  Then while it was running opened the gas cap and the pressure should change.  It didn't change even a tiny bit.  The data for the purge valve said it was open...never changed. So then I measured the voltages on the plug for the fuel pressure sensor and they matched what it should be.  So local car quest parts had the sensor in stock...it was a bit of a pain to remove and an even bigger one to get it to actually go back in.  It helped to unbolt the driveshaft and bungie cord away from the gas tank to give a bit more room to work. So fuel tank pressure sensor in I cleared the code, and started it up.  I went to the scan tool's live data and... Eureka! The pressure number was different and fluctuated a bit.  So took it on a short drive and pressure number varied saw the purge valve go from closed to open and back to closed.  Drove it to and from work for roughly a week plugged in the scan tool no codes.  I took it in to get tested and passed.  In my state's infinite wisdom (oops meant greed), since I pushed the test with the maximum extensions I have to take it back in by Feb '27 to 'get it back up to date', then my next test won't be until Feb '29.

      loose lug nuts

      By newdude · Posted

      Any grease on the stud threads of any kind?   Wheel studs should have NOTHING on them for proper torquing and so the nuts don't back off.     Are all of the mating surfaces clean?  So wheel, rotor and hub?     We've had plenty of trucks at work with that wheel, this is a first to me.  Makes me think they've got a lube tech putting anti-seize on all the wheel studs or some kind of grease, and they need to stop doing that.  To have 11 other trucks with the same exact problem.

      2027 Chevrolet Silverado: Official Discussion

      By Flynlow · Posted

      I was a Chevy guy for years, then switched to GMC because I liked the looks better.  I'm actually thinking I like the Chevy looks better than GMC for the first time in a lot of years.   One thing I know for certain, the new GMC dash is hideous!  Chevy wins this one!
