Ok i was looking at my local chevy house today and saw a badass z71 it was a 2009, and i was shocked when i saw a 6.2 instead of the 5.3 on the sticker
the salesman knew absoluteley nothing about the motor!
anyone know anything about it!!!!!!!!
i did not drive it because i knew it would make me wanna trade in my car

 

the 6.2 is slowlly replacing the 6.0 liter those trucks have been availible with the 6.0 for a while so now there just moving up. gm is also putting the z71 option on the hd trucks to. and yea the 6.2 is sick.

 

and i bet it had the (6L90) 6speed auto trans with manual shift mode

 

damn i knew that about 6 months ago and you're supposed to be the "truck guy" lol.

 

Look and see if it has a cam phaser!!!!

 

no you didnt

 

yea i thought that was pretty niffty to

 

whats that?

 

really, i didn't? mikes had is escalade for about 6 months now and was talking about how it has the 403hp 6.2, and that those motors were going into some pickups too. yes i did

 

yes maby in gmc denali not a damn off road z71

 

from what GM says....the L92 are VVT, the L9H is VVT also. The L9H (L92 going in to the trucks) is flex fuel also...no longer called L92 now called L9H....so L9H = flex fuel L92

 

maybe where i said, "mike was saying they were going to put it into pickups as well." is a clue that i knew it was going into trucks. it's called reading, up and down, right to left.

 

Its only available now in the 09's in the CrewCab LTZ trim level Chevy trucks and the Tahoe LTZ gets one as well!

 

whatever

 

^LOLOLOLOLOL. come get your SFC's you *******, they're taking up much needed hallway space!! and your CME tips will be in tomorrow, they're in albucrackie right now. i'll now.

 

sfc's? ewhh newmexico is badluck something will happen

 

Probably the best piece of equipment Ive seen come from the OEMs ever. Variable cam timing. You advance it at the bottom for the most bottom end, slowly start to retard the cam for the best mid range, and retard the cam up top for the best HP.

Its "Having your cake and eating too".

 

6.2L + 6L90E = I haven't looked under one yet but I'm hoping they come with a 9.5" 14B to replace that 10B weakling...

I'd swap to one of those rears if I could get my hands on one for less than 1500

 

for the record z71 is just a sticker now. the "offroad package" is seperate (though you can have bolth) and thats really just rancho shocks....yea i know its stupid.

 

but the only way you can get the 6.2 is in a crew cab. and it is the max trailer package.

i wish gm would put that motor in the 3/4. i would buy one in a heart beat. but it would be a GMC. not a chevy.
