Not only did I do that with my 14 5.3. I can do that with my 02 Avalanche. Most any no weight over the rear tires pickup should be able to do that if so desired, with a little brake TQ. Nice show though. 👍

Thanks. No brake tq here! Just letting off the brake till it it 5 mph and nailing it. You can brake tq a 4 banger and make it spin. All I know is my 2020 Trail Boss with the 5.3 would only chirp the tires from a dead stop. If I was rolling like I was in the video...it would have never spun or even chirped them.

If you can take your 5.3 from a roll, nail it and break the tires loose through 1st and 2nd... I want to see it! Post up a video.

You appear to be one of those people that enjoys talking down to every option that isn't what you have. Nice. 1) a "chipped" 5.3 in 2018 alone gets you 385/413 HP/tq vs the stock 6.2 420/460 HP/tq.

The 5.3 has more than enough power and torque for my needs. I didn't even consider the 6.2 when making my purchase.

I never imagined that after asking if the benefits of one engine outweigh the other, that people would be yelling at each other about piezoelectric knock sensors.

My old 02 will roll through first easily. Being it’s a 4 speed auto not a 10 speed obviously not through second. But the same distance.  My 14 a six speed with E-85 and little TM would through second with a tune.

Going back to an older truck the throttle response was quite different than the newer trucks. Taking off without turning the tires was a re-learning experience. Especially with 373 gears.

Oh I know all about that! I still have my '06 silverado 5.3, 4.10 gears, cold air, MBRP exhaust with cats deleted and a Diablo tune with as tq management turned off, that I bought brand new in July of 2006. She goes for what she is....but it still won't light them up from a roll.

Every truck I owned since the 2000s could light them. Of course there’re tuned, exhaust, stock sized tires empty in the bed. Stock trucks without a tune the TC would intervene and shut them down with more than a chirp.

The 6.2 will break ‘em loose at 50+ MPH in the wet. Definitely took me off guard the first time that happened.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By KARNUT · Posted

      It wouldn’t have happened if the government hadn’t mandated outrageous fuel mileage standards. It does very little for the consumer. It adds cost. Back during Covid there was a chip shortage. They gave a rebate for your truck if it didn’t have the chip to turn on cylinder deactivation. It was 50$ because at best you may see 1/2 a mile increase per gallon. Splitting hairs each fuel mileage trick wasn’t mandated. The government doesn’t do the engineering work and say use this until it’s already in use and they like it. The fuel mileage was mandated. And those add ons the results. There’s a mandate and they are the results.

      It was never mandated.  Ever.    Automakers were incentivized to install it by getting CAFE credits to help with their vehicle fleet fuel economy scores.  They were being handed money/CAFE credits to install it.  Which is NOT a mandate.       The current admin removed the incentives that were behind them installing it.

      5 Best Slide Down Gameplay Tips! 

      By lanaderay · Posted

      Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!

      Why I Recommend a Desiccant Air Dryer for Cleaner, Drier Compressed Air

      By lingyuair · Posted

      If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.

      My brand new 2007 Silverado's wax frame was rust from end to end partway through it's SECOND winter here in MA. That stuff is completely useless.
