It's interesting they are not upgrading the transmission for the 700-hp variant. Didn't think the stock 10-speed could handle that much power. Maybe the 3-year warranty puts any concerns at ease. 

 

I'm a simple man. I want just the power without the exterior upgrades.

I like the GMC's front end better but that Silverado looks bad arse!!!

 

They would be a lot of fun to drive, but.......not practical at all when pulling the boat.

I wouldn’t go through Hennessy for it. They seem to cater to the “more money than brains crowd“. Not only is that package $24,000, but that company has screwed a lot of people over...plenty of credible horror stories online dealing with them. ?

Oh man, didn't know that. I thought Hennessy was a reputable brand.

I get that every business has to deal with a bad review every now and again but there seems to be a lot of them as it pertains to Hennessey. And some are pretty shocking in their disregard for client’s vehicles...especially at the price point they work in.

Wow, very shocking and quite unbelievable. If all this is true, i wonder why they are still around. Surely all the litigation must have sunk them somehow. Now I'm really scratching my head why GM dealers are directly offering it. Surely them must have done their homework.

Yeah, you would think. I guess I’d feel more comfortable with ordering it from a dealer rather than dropping off a truck I already bought to get done up there. But neither really interests me...there’s better tuning shops that are actually in my area if I really want to add a blower.

Yup. Remember hearing about them working on a customers viper. The customer wanted the oem parts but they sold the parts and pocketed the money.

The 10 speed is the same as the one in ZL1, should be able to handle it no problem

The 10spd the trucks use is not the same as the ZL1, the trucks and the Camaro use a different variant of the 10L90E that the ZL1 uses. The truck/Camaro version is the 10L80E. It is built slightly different, partially in how the internal clutch packs work and the torque rating.

Thats the info I caught from reading up on the two versions of the A10.

I’ve done blowers, radically tuned diesels etc. My purpose was fun acceleration some times on daily drivers. Some I did my self others for lack of time locally through a trusted shop. The money I saved more than paid for warranty problems if they came up. Never did. As far as the other goodies these builders do for the money. For daily drivers it’s over kill to the max. When I was going to do road or drag racing I bought a vehicle for that. Also with the money I’d saved.

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By 2017Z · Posted

      Looking for advice from this group. Took my flawless 2020 6.2 TB to an unnamed shop for routine rear brakes and oil change. Tech forgot to put oil back in after the full service and needles to say, destroyed my engine.  It’s all on their shop video so they are responsible.   I had my Chevy dealer do the analysis and they confirmed its compromised and said engine replacement. The manager said they only get GM reman engines from GM with full 3 yr warranty and the one they would put in is not same as what’s they are swapping out on 21-25 for recall.    I am looking for advice why that would be a different engine because obviously I had the good 6.2 year and replacing it has my concerns with that recall for 21-15   Also what’s the pros and cons of accepting the engine swap vs telling the shop that bricked the truck to pay up so I buy a new truck. I’m concerned about stigma resale eventually if I just decide to get rid of it after the swap or other issues showing up after the swap out.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By GN2018 · Posted

      Just looked up my records.  I've never gone over 5000 miles between oil changes.  At 46K miles, I have 10 oil changes.  I hope that will help.  I also installed the disabler last year.  I've still had a few times when it didn't seem to engage (which I can tell because the start stop feature kicks in), but for the most part, I think it's working.  For some reason, GM did not include the number of cylinders running in the information screen like I had on other models.  In my Cadillac, it shows me when it's running on 4 cylinders on the fuel milage screen.  I can't find that on my '21 Denali.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Melling I believe is/was the OEM on the lifters who explored this problem some years ago. The white paper they generated on the topic indicated two items of note when I read it. 1.) They only fail on the switch. Prevent the switch, prevent the failure. 2.) The majority fail due to deposits messing up the timing of that switch. Anyway that's what I got from it.    Mine have always been active, 195K+ now, and my oil maintenance is surgically clean.    Of course this assumes good parts. That is no heat treat issue or machining flaws. I get comfortable that these issues are in the rearview mirror by about 30K. IMHO naturally.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, the key seems to be with the half tons that if it has the Z71, then it definitely has the two speed. What got me was that the two speed AND the lower geared towing package option could not be chosen together the last few years unless it was mated up to the 6.2. Want the 3.0 duramax and 3.73 tow gears ... nope, can't get the two speed transfer case ( neighbor son realized that after he had bought his used 3.0 half ton .. where the frick is the low range ? ! ).    I am still unsure which truck series, the half ton or the HD truck that the original poster is referring to for sure other than yes his question is in the HD section of this forum but that doesn't guarantee the question got asked in the right section.
