My WT V6 4x4! I work for a company that is Ford through and through! Went to pick up some hay in a brand new 2015 F-350 crew cab 4x4 WT. That thing struggled to pull the hills with just the trailer alone (20 foot tandem axle). It was loud and just not a fun truck to drive. I really thought that new 6.2 would wow me, but I didn't notice much difference over Chevy's 6.0.

 

I know that my truck and that truck are totally different trucks, but its still a comparison I made!

What was the comparison you made between the trucks? That a v6 truck pulls a 20ft tandem axle trailer better then an f350? A 4x4 f350 is a lot different then a v6 reg cab, you can't expect them to be similar in anyway.

I can expect them to be similar in many ways. They are both trucks. There are some similarities there. I know that ford engine has more power than my truck and would out pull my truck any day. The engine, mine has an engine too (similarity), was loud and vibrated horribly. The seats, mine has them too (similarity), was very uncomfortable.

 

I was just stating how nice I feel the Silverado is compared to the competition.

Our work truck is a brand new F450 crew cab long bed 4x4. We've had some pretty big tractors on our 10K pound trailer and i have been nothing but impressed.

The gas 6.2 in that heavy truck isn't a good combo.. The 6.7 in that truck is a different story. That's a great motor.

 

The ford super duty solid front axles do not have a good feel to them IMO, they don't drive good.. That was the selling point for me getting a GM HD, the GM's drive wayyyy better then the super dutys.

I can imagine the 6.7 would be great. Heard nothing but good things about them. The 6.2 was extremely disappointing.

I don't doubt the 6.2 was dissapointing... You should have driven a 5.4 in an f250

My other work truck is a 5.4. Has almost 300,000 miles, wonder if they were all as weak as the ones I've put on...

      Grumpy Bears 2015 Silverado 2WD

      Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....

      Gas Prices

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.

      Correct.  2019-2021 model years are serviced by a different p/n.  19420611.  Recall 2021s use 19420611.   The recall engines 2022-2024 model years are serviced with 12740076.     The difference between 19420611 and 12740076 is GM changed injector size for 2022.  The injectors are smaller on 12740076 with smaller injector bores in the cylinder heads to match the smaller injectors.  So you can't install a 19420611 in a 2022-2024, and you can't install a 12740076 in a 2019-2021.     Both engines are the replacement engine p/ns that are in the L87 recall.  So both of these are the updated engines.     Here's a version of the L87 recall with the p/ns for all the parts needed.    RCRIT-25V274-7075.pdf   Note it shows 19420611 and 12740076 with an asterisk to a footnote "Use the VIN and the GM Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC) to determine which part to order if two or more part numbers are listed for the same part, as it may vary by vehicle options."
