Lol.  I know.  I mentioned the 6.2 because it was brought up earlier.  

 

And a a well tuned 2.7 F 150 has run 12.87.

Some of you guys are ridiculous. The dude got a new pickup, and that’s awesome. Some folks can’t even afford a $5k used Nissan Altima. If he bought a truck to haul limbs from his yard twice a year, so

We get it, Skippy.  We know where you stand on the 4cyl.

Congrats OP - let haters hate. Your rationale behind picking the 2.7T sound logical to me... Not all of us regularly have to displace fallen trees from seemingly major thoroughfares. Keep us poste

For me, I’m a V8 guy all the way, not to much interested into performance mods, did on my 18 6.2 cause I lifted it and needed to recal it so I thought what the heck. I LOVE the no noise and low rpms from driving a V8 on long road trips. I was interested in a Raptor if and when I start having issues with my truck (none so far, knock on wood) but I just can’t get over that queer little exhaust sound coming out the tail pipe, then I looked at the Shelby F150 and it didn’t do much for me, got back into my truck and liked my interior MUCH better. I hope everyone gets what ever their hearts desire but for me, I’m old school, low rpms and a V8 throaty sound will put a smile on me on every road trip. Btw, there are a couple Denali guys on the forums that have done an enormous amount of work on their 6.2’s, spending more time in the performance shop than actually driving it, not for me. I truly believe that running a small engine hard for long periods of time WILL only bring breakdowns sooner rather than later especially with a purchase intention for quarter mile and racing it only comes to mind.

I agree.  I like my 6.2 a lot.  It’s kinda fun to drive for a truck.

Not the most scientific test but when I pull my trailer I set the cruise on the highway to 70mph. On overpasses and bridges my 2.7 with the trailer never downshifts going up. The 5.3 would downshift. Which would mean its downshifting to generate the torque it needs to maintain 70 mph and having to rev higher. Meanwhile the 2.7 is still in 8th gear purring at 1500 rpm at 70 mph.

What are the differences in the transmission? What were the rear axle ratios?

That's what is gonna dictate whether your transmission shifts, not the engine.

I guarantee the 5.3 is geared lower than that lawn mower engine with half the rated capacity.

 

Lower gearing WILL make you shift more to maintain speed, but I hardly consider that a negative on towing ability. Look at their ratings. The 5.3 trucks will tow twice what the 2.7 will.

 

Here's a test.

 

Get a trailer loaded to the max that the 5.3/3.42 will tow, and put that on the 2.7.

 

Now tell me which one feels better.

Wait, you’re pulling 7k# trailer with your new 2.7 4 cylinder correct?

The V8 will want to roll at the highest gear possible for better MPG. Of course it downshifts for a hill.

Your 2.7 won't because it's already spinning high and more revs only help.

But that downshift on the V8 with the gearing it has will give it far more torque than your little 2.7.

Waiting for a shift isn't a measuring point.

Both had 3.42 rear axle. The loaner had the smaller 18" wheels and tires while mine has the 20's. I guess technically mine would have the higher gearing with the bigger tires.

Not questioning the 5.3 having a higher rated towing number. Just stating that for my usual towing the "lawn mower engine" struggled less than the 5.3.

Nope. Just a trailer with load of about 2000lbs.

How is it already spinning high when in the example I gave its only around 1500 rpm? Are you getting the turbocharger and engine RPM mixed up?

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By KARNUT · Posted

      More is cylinder deactivation. Kia-Hyundai Ive had 4. The warranty is the same 10 years 100K miles. My grandson drives the first one 05 Elantra GT. My wife drives the second one 2011 Genesis. The Genesis still performs as new and looks great. The Elantra looks rough. He’s not kind to it. The third was a Genesis coup. The fourth was a Santa Fe. Those were my daily drivers. I don’t keep them long. Kia is the same as Hyundai with the same warranty. I looked at the K-4 today. Too small, otherwise pretty good buy. Most of Hyundai and Kia’s have a performance upgrade.

      Oil Consumption

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Great question. Answer....depends. One the volume of the crankcase, the driver that will actually be using the vehicle and the amount it uses plus the distance expected for that next trip. Couple of for instances:   Wife is going to drive Dizzy to Moline and back plus a bit around town so say 500 miles on the day. I know from years with that SUV that around town and local rural it uses about a quart in 1250 miles. But on the Interstate and her at the wheel without her anchor nagging her she'll push it and it will drop a quart in about 800 miles. Hence, around town I wait to somewhere between a quarter down to a quart down. On her trip I'd top it if it was down a few ounces and hope for the best.    Have I overfilled one? You mean by adding before it needs a full quart I assume. No, not once after finding the true fill mark.  I know the dipsticks of everything I drive and add what it needs. I learn this by doing the first oil change a quart low. Run the motor for a few minutes. Let it sit over night. Check and mark. Then add half a cup at a time making note of the place on the stick. I add through the dipstick tube with a barbeque basting bottle. Give it a few minutes to drain down and check again.    A vehicle like Dizzy that uses this much oil will take a few quarts between 3K changes. I keep one in the vehicle with the bottle and a bag. (Mindful of it's fullness) Not a big deal and never makes a mess of it. There is no such thing as "multiple quarts' in my shop for any specific oil. There will be a maximum however of the number of different oils used over the fleet.     Dizzy holds a nominal 5 quarts. So the first fill was indeed over as it actually took 4.75. My vehicles are fit with Valvomax valves so I can meter an ounce on the drain if need be. Found her mark first crack at it. Never to be repeated.    Pepper uses none between changes so I don't keep a quart in that one. Straight up 6 quarts put her dead on the full line. Check it ever fuel stop. They will surprise you when they start using.    Raven holds 3 liters or 5.44 ounces over three quarts. I add 3 quarts and 6 ounces. That gives me 5 oil changes on my orphan quart.    Lawnmower holds about 3/5 of a quart. I don't over fill it to prevent an orphan. So yea, depends.

      185k on original 6.2L engine and 10 speed. 6" lift with 35" tires. Changed oil (Mobil 1 synthetic) when truck told me to. Original tranny with original fluid and no service or flush done. All highway miles. A/C compressor replaced at 155k. Oil cooler line replaced at 180k. Still daily driver. Love this truck.   This is my 3rd 6.2L vehicle (2008 Yukon Denali / 2018 Cadillac Escalade) with over 150k miles and no issues. Denali had broken motor mount at 100k.
