Nice upgrade for sure!

Notice a difference in power lol? That old GMT800 looks like it was well maintained. Paint looks new yet. Congrats on the step up, I hope it is a good one.

Nice! How many miles on the gmt800 hand how did it treat you?

 

Whats your favorite thing about the 2018 besides the 6.2 ?

Thanks! It was pretty well maintained, but looks can be deceiving, haha! She’s at 315000km (ontario/Canada- so killer salt in winter...) The rockers and box are toast, fuel and ps leaks and other minor things including rattles and creaks...

I’ve put a lot of work into her from routine maintenance to replacing fuel and brake lines, but its come to a point where I was starting to wonder when something bigger (tranny or something) let’s go.

And then I came across this truck. Rest is history [emoji846]

You definitely notice the power difference going up to the 6.2 (I also drive a 17 LT rental for work daily) and it is just great, can’t wait to see how it tows!

She’s at 315 000km. I’ll put some more on but it’ll be slow cause she’s a bush truck now!

Hmm, next fave thing would be the heated cooled seat I think, but it’s hard to choose one cause there’s sooo many cool toys in here he newer trucks!

The 6.2  8 speed tows like a champ!! Very pleasurable experience compared to the 6 speed.  Best of luck. Regarding towing the rear diff fluid in these looks terrible when changed. I swapped over to Amsoil sever gear.

Yup, I am here too. Got to love that calcium chloride, and no government rebates to compensate for it. That is why I put my 6.2L truck away for winter so it isn't ruined in 5 years like my 2010 was. The frame coating is done and gone in one year here if you do a lot of backroads/winter driving. I touch mine up with generic asphalt undercoating when it starts to peel as NOX rust seems impossible to get a grip on. 

[300 Blackout]

Looks great!

6.2 8 speed def a whole new world as far as towing goes [emoji1303]. Very happy with the performance. A loaded shot and a glamor shot for fun!

[Roscopcoletrain]

Yup, love my 6.2

Congrats! Very nice. It's going to take you a long time to break that seat in the way your other one was!
