Well it has all been through a mediator at the dealership. The salesman who has sold him 5 cars, was the middleman as it were. I do not know if he was trying to make some for himself, I counter offered $1500 and heard nothing back. Either way everything worked out fine still.

Here is the truck when he owned it...

Dallas + Dark Tint = Ticket. They are pretty bad out here. The backs are close to limo. The fronts are 35%. The truck did look cool. Also keep in mind it was a body vinyl, so my paint is all brand new. Not even swirl marks or anything. Oh and another thing, these 6.2's eat gas. I am sure the transmission doesn't help (@ 70 pulling 2000 rpm's).

Thanks man!

Mine doesn't run 2k rpm's till 80 something. I get 13mph doing burnouts and 100+ mph blasts. I put a bed cover on mine and noticed a great improvement! Does ur tryck have a CAI?

I wish it took until 80. They didn't say anything about differential gears, but I wonder if a transmission would even be built for acceleration that way (2k @ 70). I put it in M and went through all 6 (not at WOT, just cruising) so it does have a 6 sp. I am willing to bet I have gears too.

As far as a CAI (the most basic performance upgrade to most vehicles) it doesnt have one. Though I hear the stock one works really well. What to believe?

U have 373's I bet. It's the factory gear unless u have the TE.

For some reason I've noticed my mileage is a tad higher than most 6.2's
It's all in ur driving style...

I've got the 6L80 and 3.73s, and show just under 2K @ 70 mph.

This confirms it. No gears, but the stock one is performance'ish.

3.73 is only factory in NHT trucks, which an AWD Denali wouldn't be. I believe AWD Denalis all have 10-bolt/3.42 combo. However, swapping to 3.73s would be no big deal at all. If you get a minute, photograph the sticker in your glovebox, remove the VIN in MS Paint, and post the rest. We'll figure it all out by reading the codes
