Don't you have the 6.2? Is that # low or what you can expect for RWH from the 6.2...

I think he has some performance upgrades, but the advertised 420 hp is at the fly, in automatics I believe they lose somewhere in the ballpark of 15% of their power

I installed this thingy on the top of my 2017 6.2L. Not really sure what it does, but my truck goes really fast now.

I was glancing at this thread and it looks like a similar outcome with similar mods. This gentleman made 378rwhp & 413lb-ft. He also calculated a 21% drivetrain loss which translates to about 480hp & 520lb if you're talking crank horsepower/torque numbers. I'm assuming with the combination of the mods it was about 50ish horsepower gained give or take a few ponies due to tuning, wheel setups, etc.

His numbers are spot on. My 6.2L stock dyno'd at 350/380 at the wheels.

How does the afe sound? I have been looking into one. Just haven't really seen a good example of the sound it makes. Any chance you can put up a quick video?

I'm stuck between this afe or a k&n. But the k&n are everywhere. I'm hoping it gets a bit deeper than stock. Of you don't get around to don't sweat it.

It will definitely be deeper than stock you will hear your engine pumping under the hood and it sounds pretty good. K&N has been around a hot minute and are very reputable but even tho it's just an intake we're talking about AFE appealed to me a lot more and I'm super happy with it

I don't remember what company made the grille. I believe I just kept looking through google until I found one that I liked that wasn't breaking the bank [emoji23]

 

The headlight trim definitely is coming next, I just don't know if it would be easier to vinyl over it, plastidip it or actually paint it

Oh I think I have the same grille, I got it on Amazon for a very good price also. I am also torn on what to black out the headlight trim. I want to paint them but I'm not sure how to remove the trim.

I know there's videos on YouTube and it doesn't look terribly difficult. I'd just be scared to break them. I'm on the fence on just ordering new headlights that already have the black trim.

Well got a flat yesterday. The puncture was in the sidewall so they couldn't fix it. Taking the opportunity to get the wheels and tires I've been wanting. Riding around on the spare for now. It'll be a couple weeks but definitely excited. Got the Fuel Mavericks and Ridge Grapplers. I liked them on another members truck. That spare rides nearly identical but looks horrible. Killing me haha!

      So you're saying toss the baby out with the bathwater? @txab posted article was her take on how AI can be used to manipulate pricing as it already does and has been rebuked by the judiciasry in housing. How AI can be and is used to maximize refinery or even Amazon operations all of which are true but because she is who she is; that makes what she says about what is true, false? Is that something akin to Pre-justice aka prejudice?    Look, I'm first in line to approach all information with caution just because we live in a world where people like to lie about someone or something with such a straight face and in such volume that it makes digging to the truth wearisome. Meaning I understand the skepticisms but if I were to toss out everything a person is for a view they hold then my pool of people to draw wisdom from would be non-existent and I'd be forced to reinvent the wheel daily. Not practical.    "Be innocent as a dove but as cautious as a serpent."    Test each word. Every good lie is part truth or no one would believe it. Find the truth in it and reject what isn't.    On this one, AI is being used to do what has been done by hand for hundreds of years already but at such speed, the point of a computer, that it is more easily monetized. This one wasn't that hard a lift.    I wrote a few formulas in a Lotus 123 program decades ago, a series of linked Macros actually, that allowed a daily inventory to be turned into a running P&L and production plan. Something that took three departments a week to assemble now took the time it takes to input the 'daily changes' in inventory. Later that was ungraded to the more powerful Excel program an and integrated with bar code scanning, inventory to supply was done once per shift. It had a huge impact on production scheduling, Seamless interruption flexibility, inventory error reduction, raw materials cost effective utilization and scrap reduction. Huge improvement in the bottom line. I spent months on that and AI could have done it in minutes. So yes, it not only can be used, they would be foolish to not try. The legality, ethics and morality are not the domain of AI. Humans need to keep a reign on it.

      How to Tune 6L80 Silverado transmission

      By ballencd · Posted

      New to this forum.  Also looking to tune a 6L80 and trying to work out all the issues in my transmission swap.  I have a 6.2 diesel (1983) and have removed the TH-400 and about to put in a 6L80 with a TCM-2600 interface and don't have a clue what I doing after that.  Did you (Leatherneck/RAV3) get your slip resolved? I too hate to spend that kind of money on a tuner that hopefully I will not need too many times although from what steelerdude15 added about the HP Tuner being great for diagnostics would be a plus.  I am also from WNC but below you in Columbus.  Any helo would be greatly appreciated.

      Sounds like a smart reasonable person with common sense. Bill O’Riley never said he was just a journalist, by the way.
