A few people were interested in a video to hear how the new 3.0L LM2 sounds with an aftermarket intake on in. So here you go. 

 

2021 Silverado 3.0L LM2

S&B Intake

~40 degrees outside temp

(I'm no youtuber, so please be nice about the quality)

 

This is with the full kit installed, and the box plug left out like the instructions. 

 

Very noticeable idle air noise, part throttle turbo whistle, and zero throttle deceleration air noise. I was very surprised by how it sounds, never quite had an intake sound like this. I do like it a lot. Wide open throttle wont get much out of it but the part throttle around 2000rpm is where it hits a sweet spot. There is a loud zero throttle air rushing noise that's always there on deceleration, i find it cool but some could be annoyed by it to be honest.

I think it sounds pretty good, almost like an old school military deuce and a half type sound as I think they were inline 6 engines.

 

you notice any difference in performance or increase/decrease in mpg’s?

Performance wise id like to think it feels like it pulls harder, but honestly i only had 400 miles on it before doing this so my butt-dyno isnt very calibrated. And i dont do much WOT until the truck had some miles on it.

 

As for mileage Thats hard to judge right now too, because we just went through a terrible February for weather, so 50% of the run time was remote start.

Will be interesting to see how the mpg’s are affected. Engine breathing better so it should improve but will be hard to determine in the short term with everyone looking for the power increase. Lots of start and stop and heavy pedal by most right after install so numbers won’t be accurate right away.

      Is the 6.2L L87 in a 2026 Sierra 1500 ok?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      What meaningful corrections were done to fix the "machining errors?"   I bet nothing, because the 6.2 is soon to be obsolete. Why would GM implement any fix let alone an "expensive one?"   Until someone can provide any convincing information that GM did ANYTHING to correct the engines - the 6.2 is no for me.    Which means keeping the 2016 Denali longer until the next generation (6.6?) proves itself.

      If my father took a Sunday off. We did the Sunday drive. Usually stopping at a Geno’s for dinner that we eat in the car. Six of us with my little sister up front. It was always a Buick growing up. In New Jersey you couldn’t get lost. Not like Texas.

      Some Assembly is Required

      I suppose I am Atlas. It can always be worse, eh?   I had a friend once that rolled one payment into another until he was paying the price of Benz for a 10 year old back marker. Wouldn't be often you start a new payment the month following your old one.

      I still enjoy the drive   Some people fish when they retire; some golf. I drive. We've lived in the same general area now for twenty eight years and I'm still finding at least monthly some sweet quite little road to explore. When I tell the Mrs. I'm heading out for coffee she knows that could be a five hour event. Often she even goes along.    I like finding new rural routes used mainly by the locals that start nowhere in particular and end the same way. Many in the area of that type are narrow paved and twisty, hilly and run through field and timber. Often along creeks or wetlands. Unfarmable areas of great natural beauty.    After years of this type of exploration they start to fit together. One ending a mile or so from another and you start threading together a new path from a unfamiliar place to a new adventure. Sometimes to a little town of under five hundred that used to be something before the Interstate or some railroad or US highway bled the life out of it that has a small dinner with the greatest slice of pie you've eaten since grandma made her last. A little village museum or library or even a town square park with grand old oak, walnut and Osage orange trees to sit under while you sip you gas station coffee and chat up some locals.    Often they are full of stories about the main streets more interesting buildings and the who's who of the area. Sometimes some hidden attraction or unseen history. Our area is full of old coal mines.     A younger self used to do this going cross country by motorcycle. Only a general area as a destination with no time to get there and no time to be back. Sitting at days end in a 10 unit off the main highway motel under a Sycamore tree yacking with the owner or his one semipermanent guest while I adjusted valves or the chain. Always a wave and a shout "Hey there stranger"!  It's how I came by my love of old Brit iron. There is no such things as a ten minute gas stop when your on a Enfield or a vintage Triumph. Same being true of old cars.    If you take the time to really look I've found everywhere is someplace interesting. Illinois or West Virginia. Different and yet the same.    People are in a more relaxed mood and will talk about anything and everything and if they like you there may be a cupp'a or a lemonade and a sandwich in it. 😉
