The 6.2 is WORLDS better. I've had both and there's no comparison. No other stock truck produced nowadays will hang with it. I've been looking to be proceed wrong about that but it hasn't happened yet.

It gets comparable millage to the 5.3 so after the intial cost difference not really a downside except premium fuel but the smiles to gallon are worth it.

I mean come on.. You can't have too much power.

Unless its modified, no it won't lol. A 5.3 rcsb is not faster than a 6.2 ccsb

 

And even if it is modified, there is literally no logical reason to prefer the 5.3 over the 6.2. Especially if you like speed. Maybe you prefer the rcsb, but not the motor. What a horrible rebuttal lol

That's what they say but I'd have to race one to believe it. I've seen a couple around here (at the mall of course) and they sound hideous. Who would spend that much money on a truck that sounds like a UTV?

Smaller tires, lighter wheel is all I have on it.

 

You also have to look at the weight of both vehicles.

 

The 6.2 isn't a gift from God but either way I wouldn't trade my 5.3flr anything

Anytime I've witnessed an individual street race a pickup truck I've thought to myself "what an *******!".crackup.gif

lol

It's not even that. I don't buy a crew cab to go fast but all I'm saying is i prefer my 5.3 that's it but I'm still an idiot or not wanting "more power"

You've given zero reason for prefering your 5.3

 

I don't really care all that much, just pointing out the flaw in your logic. Your reasoning and arguement is just hysterical to me

 

The only reason you've given so far is that your 5.3 is faster than a 6.2 with a 1500lb weight disadvantage. Thats not a reason lol.

 

6.2 gets same fuel mileage, the long block weighs the same, its the same reliability, same manufacturer, same features, same everything. The only tangible difference between the two is that the 6.2 is more powerful and costs more.

 

So please, explain again why you prefer the 5.3

If you read father back I said for me I prefer the 5.3 because I have no use for the 6.2. If you are towing then yes get the 6.2. But if not I go for the 5.3.

 

It's my opinion. It's not right nor wrong. I'm not saying the 5.3 is better. It's just what I prefer

 

The wife has the 6.2 and she likes it. So that's fine. I don't have an issue with the 6.2. Again this is just what I prefer

A 5.3 on E-85 is within 40 HP of the 6.2. So a 2 door P/U with a 5.3 should out run a 6.2. You have option of E-85 or reg gas.

Never seen a stock 5.3 1/4 slip in any body beat the fastest stock 6.2 slip I've seen, which is a 13.7

 

And for all the truck lol people, 14 flat is a respectable time for any vehicle, and certainly can be called "fun"

I have seen 5.2 sec, 5.3 sec, also saw 6.2sec though. Would be inclined to think low 5 seconds would be about right for a 450 hp truck but who knows its a ford lol

5.1s for raptor 5.7s for 6.2

 

All the magazines have pretty much the same times for both trucks.

 

Stock for stock the raptor is faster

      Joke Thread

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Fred was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred young pullets, and ten roosters to fertilize the eggs He kept records, and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was replaced. This took a lot of time, so he bought some tiny bells and attached them to his roosters. Each bell had a different tone, so he could tell from a distance, which rooster was performing. Now, he could sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells. Fred's favourite rooster, old Butch, was a very fine specimen, but this morning he noticed old Butch's bell hadn't rung at all! When he went to investigate, he saw the other roosters were busy chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing, but the pullets, hearing the roosters coming, would run for cover. To Fred's amazement, old Butch had his bell in his beak, so it couldn't ring. He'd sneak up on a pullet, do his job and walk on to the next one. Fred was so proud of old Butch, he entered him in the City Show and he became an overnight sensation among the judges. The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the "No Bell Piece Prize," but they also awarded him the "Pulletsurprise" as well. Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making. Who else but a politician could figure out how to win two of the most coveted awards on our planet by being the best at sneaking up on the unsuspecting populace and screwing them when they weren't paying attention. Vote carefully in the next election, you can't always hear the bells.

      High Country Suburban build confirmation

      By 3CarSeatDad · Posted

      Can someone confirm if the GM order workbench terminal is able to validate a custom build sequence:   1) Initialize the Allocation Base: Open a new vehicle build queue, select the 2026 Chevrolet Suburban 4WD, and pick the High Country (3LZ Preferred Equipment Group).   2) Select the Diesel Powertrain: Go directly to the engine configuration screen and choose RPO code LZ0 (3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel). Ensure it maps to the MHS 10-speed automatic transmission.   3) Deploy the Seating Swap: Navigate to the Interior Options screen and enter RPO code ATT to replace the standard captain's chairs with the power-release 60/40 bench seat. Because you are not trying to force a separate luxury or air-suspension bundle, the standard, premium D07 Fixed Floor Console remains active. The system will accept this change immediately without triggering a warning message.   3)Apply Heavy-Duty Hauling Capability: Input RPO code NHT (Max Trailering Package). The commercial terminal will automatically bundle the required trailering hardware and software modules to support the diesel engine's maximum towing capacity.   5) Layer the Premium Tech and Glass: Separately add code C3U (Panoramic Power Sunroof) and code UKL (Super Cruise) to the order screen.   6) Run the Final Validation: Click the "Validate Order" button at the bottom of the interface.

      Looking at ordering a '26 WT because I want a std cab, std bed

      By revmanii · Posted

      Spent the last hour or 2 googling and reading up on the spacer thing. I don't like the loss of thread contact on the slip on spacers, but it appears you can get "extended" lug nuts that reach into the hole of the wheel to get back the lost threads. Looks like the only true hubcentric slip on spacers are at least .375". I'd want as little as I could get away with and don't want to cause other clearance issues going any thicker. Bora seems to offer what appears to be a well made .375" spacer and extended lug nuts. I searched here and did find a couple threads recommending Bora. But not cheap. By the time I buy spacers and lugs, new TPMS sensors, then pay a tire shop to install the new sensors, I suspect I'm going to be in over $400. Thinking about running out and getting some washers to put behind the wheel to see if .375" is enough to clear calipers, turn lock to lock without rubbing, and to see if the wheels/tires look strange pushed out a little. This would just be to check fitment.

      Road Master Active Suspension

      By Core-Lokt · Posted

      Roadmaster makes some quality parts; I have their sway bar. I considered the RAS, but I ended up bagging. I didn't know what kind of ride I'd get with RAS, and the bags have interior jounce bumpers, so I can run 0 pounds pressure. I figured I'd have the best of normal suspension ride with assist on-demand. But it seems you got pretty much the same in one item.
