I found out that Cadillac's new Escalade has a new DOD 6.2L!!!!!!!
Has anyone else heard of this engine option for any other future GM trucks???
I'm thinking it will be placed a the newly designed SS Silverado!
What do you guys think?
If I remember correctly, it has somewhere of 360-370hp and & 417 ft lbs tq!

I think its 407hp, not sure on the exact number but its over 400hp. And it would def be nice if it was in the silverado SS... hopefully available in a regular cab configuration too... with a t56... we can dream right?

 

I thought that was the aluminum 6.2 that was supposed to have about 400 hp.

 

yeah thats what it is. And its in the escalade. I just checked cadillac.com, 403hp 417tq, 6.2L VVT

 

My boss has a Yukon Denali XL on order with that engine. Less HP in the GMC, but still 6.2L VVT, DOD, and it has the 6L80-E like the Escalade.

He is replacing his wife's 3/4 ton 2001 Yukon XL with a 6.0. I got grilled pretty hard for information on the new Denali, so he owes me a ride in it.

I will report.

 

got some pics in here:

I read somewhere the Escalade ESVs are supposed have around 20 more hp and more torque than the regular Escalade and truck. Has anybody else heard this. I think I still have the magazine it was a Hot Rod or something. I think it was the one with the new red camaro on the cover, or it might have been the magazine with the silver camaro and orange challenger.

 

Here's the breakdown, at least for the SUV's: http://media.gm.com/us/powertrain/en.../07truck06.htm

 

interesting, according to that link GM is going to put a 4l70 behind one of they're 6L's...........

 

So what the heck does the 4L70 consist of?
Great info here by the way..........
