Vanished Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 Probably a dumb question but without badges how can you tell a 5.3 from a 6.2 rolling down the road? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
SouthernSilveradoGuy85 Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 You can't tell even looking at the engine since they have the same block and all. The only difference is the 6.2 has a bigger stroke, everything else that I know of is the same.
Stevens03 Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 It use to be the exhaust was different but not any more.

Not trying to be that "guy" but the increased displacement of the 6.2 L86 comes from a larger bore over the 5.3 L83 (stroke is the same).

Guapoh Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 Tailpipe is larger on 6.2. Tailpipe is larger on 6.2.
thetruck454 Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 When you challenge them to a race at the stop light, the 6.2 will beat you ;-)

darkfox1 Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 Tailpipe is larger on 6.2. Tailpipe is larger on 6.2. Yea, are yall SURE the exhausts are the same? Cos I could swear the 6.2s have a larger tailpipe. I guess if you have the chrome tip you may not notice, but the ones that don't from the pics I've seen here, and from the ones I've seen at dealerships its maybe .5-1" larger in diameter. Not a huge difference, only way I can tell usually is looking at the sticker. Also I think there's a stickesr on the airbox that tells you displacement.
bdbake01 Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 Early 6,2's had a 3" exhaust, but since at least April '14, they've all received 3.5". I think the 5.3 is and has always been 3".
