Lol. Enjoying owning a truck you will be able to tune around the same time as the L5P.. which is never.

Somebody will pull something outta the hat sometime, like send PCM to tuner to get unlocked or some such a thing...……….

And get into a lawsuit with GM because of it. Not going to happen unless the rules relax.

So since I started this I'll post what I got.

Edmunds.com is by far the best wedsite to search for a used 6.2. They have an option to pick factory packages and one of those tabs it for the 6.2 eco V8.

Well the wife and I drove to TN this weekend and picked up this 2014 6.2 with the 6speed. I wanted the max trailing 3.73 but that was about impossible to find one that was in as good of shape as this one with 3.42. with in 500 miles

Even stock this 6.2 feels so much better than my old 2008 6.2 denali. The crazy thing, that blew me away is cruising through the mountains of NC and TN it didn't down shift once to pull up a big hill. My old 6.2 would come out of 6 at the smallest mole hill on the hwy. And with 34" tires I got 19 mpg in the mountains. We are going 3 hours to the beach this weekend and I can't wait to see what it gets on a flat Hwy.

Atomic I'll be getting a hold of you really soon to tune it with headers. Later I'll do E85 conversion and hopefully boost. I was so close to adding boost to my last truck before it was totaled.

P.S. Not my style of rims, So they are going to be sold soon and I'm going to wrap the grill and bumpers myself to match the paint.

I like loaded cloth which my 17 HD is and will not buy another pleather interior.
Very hard to fine in my area and the extra length won't fit in my garage. I agree with the cloth interior. Hate having the leather hot in the summer and cold in the winter.

I would sell mine tomorrow if i could buy the 6.2 in a regular cab. Even better if the would put a 6 speed manual behind it.
