Has anyone bought one? Has anyone ha one out to the track yet?
A good friend of mine is looking at getting one and we were both curious as to the performance of the vehicle.

i didnt know they made one with the 6.2

right now i think they are only available in the Denali... but that's a crew cab... could be wrong.. but i was just at the dealer today

6.2 used in Denali's and Denali Crew Cabs and some Tahoes ONLY! Not going to be used in the average run-of-the mill pickup trucks.

i am building one right now with ported l92 heads and intake

What tahoes?

Eskys have them too.

Well my buddy just bought an 07 Crew Cab Denali (Awesome Truck!) and with 350 miles on it he ran 14.80 at 94.xx mph.
Swapped on a ported LS2 thorttle body and went 14.62 at 95.02 mph.
I think that is great for a fulley loaded truck!

That is about on parr with the tundra,to bad that denali powertrain isnt in the silverado.I bet it has the 6sp auto trans?When they do put it in the silverado ,then I may have to step off for a new cheby

The Tundra requires 4.30 to do that.
His truck is a 3.73 rearend.
Fuck Toyota.

:werd: I have been curious to see what a 6.2 in a truck will run. Nice numbers, I knew it would be right there with the yota. Can't wait until the 6.2 is in all the other trucks. A rcsb 6.2 with 4.10's would be a beast. And the yota yeah :barf:

Have you ran yours yet? were's your sig. pic?

wait a sec. ive been under the impression for a while now that the 6.2 was going to be an option in the pickups.

Have you ran yours yet? were's your sig. pic?
Nah uh not yet. I dunno if mine can keep up with a tundra. I just ordered a radix today with the group purchase so when I get that in and the flt trans and verter and tune I shall head to the track. I am afraid to go to the track with the radix and stock trans. I have pics of my truck, I need to load one up on here. I shall get on that immediatly.

wait a sec. ive been under the impression for a while now that the 6.2 was going to be an option in the pickups.
Thats what I thought too. That it was gonna be in the denali and esk's for awhile then an option in the regular trucks with the 6 spd trans.

guess you will chuck the wester tune huh?

guess you will chuck the wester tune huh?
Yeah, ill use the handheld that comes with the radix until I head up to sa for nelson to do a SD tune. I plan on getting the nelson tune after I get everthing installed.

Is my sig too big?

sweet ride, yours looks like its up in the air a little.

also, ive never seen a tundra "showing off" before. are they fast or something?

sweet ride, yours looks like its up in the air a little.
Thanks man. I cranked the t-bars a little bit to level it out, and the 285's rubbed a bit at full lock. I have since went down to 265's in the name of more power to the ground! I have never seen a tundra showing off either, but according to the magazines they run a 14.6-14.8 in the quarter stock in the ccsb 4x4 platform. I just sure would hate to lose to a yota. By the way fellas is my sig to big?

yeah...i would probably kill myself if i lost to a jap truck

your sig doesnt look too big

Cool thanks man. Sorry for whoring up your thread my1stride

I crank my bars to level it,I ran for 10K mile 285/70/17s and they never rubbed.Maybe the slight difference in offset although the MB wheels were close to stock.

Cool thanks man. Sorry for whoring up your thread my1stride
I am guilty too,sorry dude

Whoring is cool!

Also, the Denali he has is a 3.42 rearend, so take that Toyota.

I had an 04 Silverado, I just never drove it. So it went for my wifes Cadillac and I picked up my big block 1 ton for 3400 bucks with 82,000 original miles on it.
I miss the 04, but the Trans Am makes up for it.

At anyrate, I had the Torsion bar keys changed to level my 04.

I would like to know what denali you can get with a 3.42 gear. thanks

Hey look you got that VMax you were preaching about on dodgetruckworld

Whats up Gonzo?

Hey look you got that VMax you were preaching about on dodgetruckworld

Whats up,had it for a year now,love it,she runs like a champ.

Looks nice!

Just one question.. is it a 12 second truck for under 2k yet LOL.

You dont think it can be done?This one should be in the 12s not for 2K$ but a RCSB can be.Tell these guys here no one here can build a N/A chevy to run in the 12s for 2K worth of mods.

2k worth of mods at public price rates? I don't think so.

There are quite a few impressive 12 second Chevy's on this site though!

The exception would be the TBSS... which we have beaten to death until Ken 04sw traded his 12 second rcsb ram for one LOL.

Jeff

Why the rules and stippulations,I never said anything about using new parts.All I ever said was you can put a RCSB into the 12s N/A for 2K$


Is Ken using No2 on his TBSS ?

The Tundra requires 4.30 to do that.
His truck is a 3.73 rearend.
Fuck Toyota.

I do agree that that Crew Cab Denali AWD is badass.

But please do some research before you act like having a 4.30 over a 3.73 rear gear is the only thing that matters. Becuase you would find out the transmission gear ratios of the 6sp toyota trans vs. 6sp chevy trans, the chevy actually has the advantage in first and second gear (and that is taking the rear gear into account) and the rest of the gears they are pretty even. Also that is using the 4.30 vs. 3.73, and the 4.30 is not standard it is optional so the real comparison would be 4.10 and with that the chevy would have the advantage in every gear.

Tundra gear ratios:

3.333:1 first gear ratio, 1.96:1 second gear ratio, 1.353:1 third gear ratio, 1:1 fourth gear ratio, 0.728:1 fifth gear ratio, 0.588:1 sixth gear ratio, 3.061:1 reverse gear ratio

Denali gear ratios:

First: 4.03
Second: 2.36
Third: 1.53
Fourth: 1.15
Fifth: 0.85
Sixth: 0.67
Reverse: -3.06


With that said, it is still pretty surprising that the Tundra has such bad gas mileage though.

What kind of mileage are they getting? I would like to see a magazine comparison of the ccsb 4x4 tundra with 5.7 6sp auto with the chevy ccsb 4x4 6.2 6 sp 4.10's The only comparisons I have seen were the tundra vs a 5.3 chevy and the vmax. Which the tundra won both in accleration.

I would like to know what denali you can get with a 3.42 gear. thanks
That is what is in it. I didn't believe him either but is on the window sticker and RPO code. I lost 20 bucks on the deal. We even went to local chevy dealer with VIN and that was what comes up.
I wonder if the fact that is AWD makes a difference on the gears used?
I would have figured it would have at least a 3.73.

The 14.80 in the Toyota is with the optional 4.30. Give them the 4.10 gears.
I doubt it will run the 14.80 with 4.10s.
My point was I don't like Toyotas, just a little jab.

I would have figured it would have at least a 3.73.

because 1st gear in the 6spd is so low (4.0x), they put some high gears in the rear. This still alows better take off and also lower RPM's when cruising.

Have you seen what gears the 6-spd auto vettes come with? 2.56. For '08 they have optional, "performance" 2.73's.

Yeah I saw that, I was like 2.73s. Wow. But it works for them. At my local track there is an older guy that is out there every test and tune with a A6 C6. Bone stock he is always running 12.70 with the 2.56 gears. Amazing!

I had a 91 L98 Corvette that had 3.08s with the 700R4, it was alright, certainly not screamer.

Yeah at 70 his truck is putting out right about 1700 rpm. Real similar to what my WS6 does in 6th at 70.

He is getting right around 18 MPG between city and highway driving.
I keep telling him to register, but he is LAZY.

I have video of the passes, but I don't have to software to get it off VHS to my computer.

You got me there. I didnt know they offer a 2x4 denali.Just read a test on pickup.com,sounds like the AWD has the 3.42 also.To bad they dont put the 3.73.Has anyone tested the 2wheel drive model?

http://www.gmc.com/sierra900/denali/specsDimension.jsp
Here is the link to GMC's website, it shows the 3.42 gear in the 6.2 denali.

I have my eye on this truck big time especially the 2wd flavor, the new GMC's are sexy!! They 2wd only weigh 5200lbs according to the GM website, not bad for a crewcab. I'm done with the Titan, my recent supercharger add has been blowing stuff up left and right (pistons/trannys). The new 6spd tranny will totally make up for the 3.42's right? Wouldn't 4.10's be way 2 extreme and 3.73's borderline with that kind or 1st gear? My Titan has a 2.94 rear but the tranny is geared diff also. I have simlilar performance to 3.73's on a 4spd due to the Titan's tranny gearing. The Titan's with a tow package have a 3.36 rear but performs like a 4.10's on a 4spd due to the tranny gearing.

Anyone know how to figure out what these 3.42's on this new 6spd would be equivlent of on the old 4spd? Does that make any sense?

I think Darknight-4 understands what I am talking about...

I found some nice pics of one in white, I like white best on this ride, but what's up with that tail pipe?

If the AWD's do 14.8 stock the 2wd should go around 14.6 right?

I would probably have to paint the inside of the rear fender black though...

Did you drive one?

Not yet... I can't wait.... I love the way my buddies new 07' 5.3 Crew Cab rides.

How do you like EFI live? Is it hard to use or find tunes?

I can do about anything very well, rears diffs, engines, I guess everything, but EFI live is a vocabulary I do not have the brain power or time to learn leave it to the younger generation that has brain matter that can comprehend it. The logging and testing I can do. You may very well learn it easily with jumping in. I get help from this awesome board. There are people here that are happy to help. What a god send.And my thanks goes out to them and you know who you are.;)


Hey nissan guy
How do you feel about going jap and going back?Your nip buddies give you a had time?

markislive78 is that at courtesy gmc?
that truck is very nice!

LOL well the Titan was great before I threw a blower on it. 14.0's wasn't bad for a stock motor with only bolton's and a tune. My Chevy buddies would always give me hell for buying a Titan....it's all in good fun, but they could never beat me in a race given the same mods and truck size! I will be so happy to get back to some decent aftermarket support! I was the 1st Titan owner to ditch the superchargers piggyback and try custom tuning. The piggyback was really holding back power off the line and now I know why! 1 cracked piston and 3 trannys later ...I give up! Being the solo lab rat is to expensive.

markislive78 is that at courtesy gmc?

No, I found those pics on the net...They don't have any 2wd in Lafayette, they are all AWD and Black.

Wouldn't you think the 2wd would be a hair quicker @ the track?

i would think 2 to 3/10's faster with the 2wd.

14.07 is respectable,you didnt ET it charged? is yours 2x4? the vortec max 2x4s run well with a few bolt-ons and a tune. I am all about a daily driver work truck that will tow.I am guilty of having a pile of parts gathing dust,next is my headers then the radix.Mine has to be dependable when I tow max ratings.Mileage is key also,I went on a 140 mi trip one way, on Wednesday,some say its all down hill from Bend to Portland Or.I punched the computer when I hit the road and this is what it said before I touched down in Portland.Coming home was 3 less but it was a hotter run and burned reg. instead of mid grade.Its what I got near stock but impressed getting this with the mods.Must be a good tune

I am guessing you got a best of 16MPG HWY 4x4 or 17MPG 2x4

14.07 is respectable,you didnt ET it charged? is yours 2x4? the vortec max 2x4s run well with a few bolt-ons and a tune.

Never ET'ed her charged, couldn't get the tranny to hold up long enough to make it over to HRP in Houston... to much slip even with a valve body upgrade. I ran some 13.2'@105 via g-tec but the tranny would let go in 1st around 4k rpm or my (Tq peak) so when the tranny let go I was stuck climbing out of 2nd at really low rpm. A couple of times my tranny actaully held all the way to 6k in 1st. When that would happen my 0-60's were 4.9 sec range if I could hook on the street. I assume mid to high 12's if I had the patience to finsh fooling with it! They want a mind blowing 5,500 to bullet proof my tranny plus my piston is cracked and once again I would be a guniea pig cause no one has tried this on a bullet proof deal on a Titan tranny!

I'm 2wd...
b4 the blower..
22mpg@50
20mpg@60
18mpg@70
16mpg@80

I was talking to a titan guy yesterday,he said the best his 4x4 got was 16 MPG driving easy.He had sold his 01 silverado because he was afraid of the cold piston slap. He said it got 18 mpg HWY. no matter how hard he drove it.I told him all the late models have short piston skirts and have some type of engine noise that doesnt hurt a thing.I then told him about your titan grenading with only 6LBS. of boost.

All I can say is drive what you want,if you like modding and going fast buy a GM

I totally agree man GM for modding! Titan parts run anywhere from double to triple on average due to lack of competition and mfg cost on low volume stuff. I would probably have an 11-12 sec truck by now if I would have spent the same amont on perf parts towards a Chevy!

Most of the Titan 4x4 guys get the towing package/more gear to help with larger tires so the mpg takes a small lick there. The addition of LT headers and my tune really helped gas milage. I also don't have the tow package I have the hwy gears, which didn't really affect perfomance due to all the low end on a Titan. If I would have left the truck NA i'm sure she would have a lasted a very long time, u know hopw them japs are. It's unreal the amount of data exchanged between the ECU and TCU on these trucks for safety and to control lockup...So many saftey features to make them last, but when it's time to mod is a pain in the a$$.

I'm not so sure the Titan was mean't to be boosted, still a grey area at this point. Only one company has a blower out and the perfomance sucks if you use the piggyback...thats why I modded the kit. Greddy and NISMO said they were comming out with forced induction but seems like they gave up, it's been many moons and no word. I betcha they fought exactly what I am fighting now with the tranny! The cracked piston could "possibly" be my fault from tuning since I did something diff. Titan has the same tranny as the auto 350z and g35. It fine in stock form and tows loads great but makes you wonder how much more it can really take with a power adder of any kind! Titan is slightly heavier than a sports car...lol! Tq load off the line will is night and day with a 5.6 and a heavy truck. Perhaps if I owned a 350z it would be peace of mind seeing the same tranny in a Titan...I think GMC made a great move putting the same 6spd used in the new 2500's in this new Denali, makes you think it's got some room to play....

my G/F's brother in law has a 07 Denali fucking thing rocks

Did you ride? Seem pretty stout stock?

They are/feel stout stock. I love my buddies almost made me trade in the WS6 on it.
But Pig Poo (my 89 BBC 1 ton with 87,000 miles) does well for my truck duties.

Shouldn't this L92 (6.2) be compatiable with LS2 or LS7 parts like heads/cams?

^^^ Yes...
