Well, I'm disappointed if these numbers are right.

Sorry Jeffro, you were right and I was and am wrong. You won dude. Unfortunately we all lost as GM enthusiasts. Congrats on being a douchebag, you earned it!

On to other news GM will be once again playing second fiddle to nearly all other truck maker with a new product that is not competitive with offerings from others.

I am truly shocked and saddened as this is poor management to bring something like this to market and try to sell it as premium because of a weight reduction, because that's garbage.

PS Jeffro, you were not entirely right, they didn't lower the torque so there's that.

I don't understand why you 6.2 fanboys are so upset.  It is still the most powerful v8 in any half ton truck, and now the truck is lighter and getting a 10 speed.

No this was the doucebag comment. Everything stayed the same from 2018. It’s all good. Truck will be lighter and with the same power numbers it will be a better performing truck.

Someone is salty.

 

All lost as enthusiasts? That is no where near the truth... With everything it brings the the table where is the loss? As a car enthusiast weight is what we all want down (it improves handling, mpg and performance) and as a truck enthusiast capability, towing, features and handiness is what we want which is all accomplished. Is it because you are solely talking about not being able to brag you have the same numbers as the raptor or something? It easily out powers all but the raptor and equals the raptor performance (13.9@97 for the raptor and 14.0 @ 99 for the 6.2 sierra). Take away a quarter ton of weight and that should put it comfortably in the 13's at over 100mph, are you not happy?

 

Second fiddle? Tons of innovative class leading tech/features and most likely class leading numbers for mpg, towing & hauling when it is all said and done.

 

Poor management, that is why they are running the company and you aren't. Premium top of the line engine with new innovative tech, best V8 numbers, best overall numbers with exception to the special Raptor model. If you were a car guy you would realize what impact weight has on everything that is very big. GM did well, it is sad you can't see that and focus on a single point that is irrelevant.

It is just the box checker guys that get their panties in a wad, it is one less impressive stat to state at the local Starbucks...

Glad you took the time to give your opinion. It doesn't align with mine. I would rather not continue to argue like 5th graders.

Seems weak to me, I haven't driven one. My 17 has the 6.2 in it now and I like it. I am disappointed but obviously you snowflakes are excited. I am proud for you.

You don't want to act like a 5th grader but are calling people snowflakes because they don't agree with you.  

 

Just making sure I read that right.

      Of course refrain from political debate but I myself have very dismal hope for what is all going on up here every where we turn so I nodded my head when I saw this joke.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      While waiting for parts I have been working on installing the AC compressor, new accumulator, and orifice tube. Also changed out the high side ball valve (original). The orifice tube that was in there wasn't too bad. Slightly dirty, a little bit of junk, but not blocked. Glad I changed it out.   The accumulator, which should have been a 5 minute job, may have just burned $50. Put some PAG in it, wrote the date and mileage on the side, fresh o-rings and gooey'd up the threads and rings with Nylog. Got everything connected and snugged and was going to vacuum down the system, and....   My manifold gauge won't fit on the port. It's not an R12 service port. It LOOKS like an R134 service port but the diameter is a hair too large. There's a sticker on the accumulator that says it's designed to be used with R12 and R134a systems only. So it's not R1234yf. Even if I reduced the diameter slightly with a file, the shoulder on the port is too large so the quick-connect valve won't lock on. I'm stumped. It's going back, and 50/50 on if they'll give me a refund.   Also, I did a fuel pressure test.... Key on, the gauge spikes to about 60psi and quickly bleeds off, like 2psi per second. The fuel isn't going into the plenum, no smell, starts fine, so I'm guessing there's a bad check valve in the pump and the fuel is just draining back into the tank. oh, hell. But, it shouldn't be a problem, pump primes just fine and the truck starts right up. It just means I can't really ever use fuel pressure to verify a leak at the injector or intake.

      SERCICE ESC message?

      By No F-bdy Bs · Posted

      Got this yesterday out of nowhere. Truck is a 25',6.6 gasser with 8k miles.  Only semi anomaly is that the truck had been sitting, uncranked for 6 days. Elec Stability Control showed immediately upon cranking, not while driving. No drivability issues, just the message. Battery didn't seem to be weak when cranking over.  I drove it, killed it, let it sit a few hrs with no avail.  Truck is 100% stock. No damage.
