I have a little over 5000 miles  on my 6.2  On 6.2L engines (RPOs L87, LT1, LT4 and LT2) built from June 1, 2020 to October 7, 2020 does anyone with that build date have a lot of miles and no problem yet?

2019 High Country, Purchased 12/23/18, 30k on it currently.

2020, 6.2L, 10 speed, AT4, purchased about June last year. 13k miles with no engine issues.

Had a weird situation once where the engine wouldnt crank or start. Disconnected the batt and reconnected. Was all good, probably electronics related. Hasn't happened again. [emoji2369]

I also  put on  a pulsar lt, so far so good, gas mileage went up from 16 mpg to 21 mpg. If you have the extra coin I highly recommend it. Hopefully my valve springs are good. Thanks to all the guys that have posted

2019 with the 6.2 and only have 18k.  Since we moved and l lost my job the miles will not be adding up so fast as they did before.

Can you expound a bit on this HUGE mileage increase? How has your driving style changed before and after? What stage tune setting do you get this mileage increase, 1-5? I assume this is highway MPG? What speed do you run?

Thanks.

On the hwy at ~10-15 over the speed limit I average between 19.5 and 20 mpg in my 6.2. Lifetime right now is about 18.5 through 4500 miles. 45c72549f0330ef630553f4bea5c4eec.jpg010cc22a49f8f1d55b97f4bfb7318177.jpg

2021 6.2 LT TB purchased in with 4K miles. Valve spring went out at 197 miles. A month later all the springs were replaced and I haven’t had a big issue since. My parking sensors still kinda work sporadically and the dealer hasn’t been able to fix it. Although lately the error pops up less and less.

For those getting 20mpg, are you guys/gals driving super conservative/all highway?

I'm at about 13mpg mixed. 18mpg running cruise control on the highway...trying really really hard.

I'm on my second engine here and neither of them hit 20 over a long haul.  I have a TB so it might factor in a bit.  To @awesome barney, I think it has a bit to do with how he was driving and/or where.  This is NOT a programmer/tuner.  It only modifies the info coming to and from the control modules.  If this were true, GM would be hopping all over it to keep their overall MPG down.

It does is no good to know how fast over the speed limit you’re going. What’s the speed you are traveling? Here in Utah the speed limit is 80 mph so your mileage is going to be much different at 90-95 mph as opposed to somewhere that has a 60 mph speed limit and that person is running 70-75 mph.

    • Thanks for all the help so far!   I did try right from 2026 right down to 2021, and only from 2023 down lets me select the option for tire psi change, but I get the vehicle not supported error!   I'll definitely try it under Chevrolet after work today, and I'll get the sensor number from gm for my truck tire sensors. And I'll let you know if it works for me under Chevrolet!   And if that doesn't work, I'm going to guess that what @Atlas said about maybe I have a different body control module could be true!  
    • From where I'm sitting this sounds like a compatibility problem. I'm assuming the 2007 was a 900-series truck, and not an 800-series (they were sold side-by-side in dealerships that model year), since it starts and runs.   This is why I HATE post-2006 vehicles. Everything becomes a huge problem when you try to keep the thing running for longer than the manufacturer has designed it to.    I can't remember when Global-A architecture started - either '10 or '11. For your sake, you had better hope it's '11, or you're going to be spending some BIG money to correct this cluster-eff. That's something you need to find out before doing anything else. You may have several computers bricked ... but the fact that it runs tells me you MIGHT be ok here.     EDIT: Just did a quick refresher. You're screwed. This is Global-A. The 2 systems are NOT compatible in the slightest. Once you get the correct engine in there that IS compatible, you're going to need to see how many computers are locked. Absolute NIGHTMARE to straighten out, too. Your buddy might be better off cutting his losses and finding something else.   Welcome to post-2006 vehicle electronics. This is why I quit the industry, and drive nothing built after 1994. This stuff takes all the fun out of wrenching!

    • True, hard to say what differences there may or may not be between Chev and GM as well as a production year or mid year part change either.    I just found it odd that under the Sierra choice on the Autel that many of the last few years of production year did not include the choice of changing the tire pressure but if that is an Autel thing or a GM thing as to why the choices were not there. Knowing what tpms sensors are on the truck should give some guidance into which choices on the tool even make sense to try as I wouldn't give up just yet with the tool but I guess he will see what if anything he comes up with if he finds out a bit more info and tries a few more things on the Autel. 
    • I'm sure if you went to a junkyard where you go in and pull the part off the truck yourself, not a used part place where they do it for you, you can get that part on it's own.  Depending on if and what else you would be buying, and time of day, they might even just skip over adding it as a item to the bill.
