380 shetland ponies im absolutely certain that i have the 6.2, i talked to no less than 20 dealers when i was searching for it that told me it didnt exist! the one thing that i am happy with is the sound though. with the factory exhaust it sounds better than my vette with the 6.2 in it. i...

i have had my 6.2 tahoe for a few months now and noticed right off the bat that it sure didnt feel like 380hp. but after taking it on a 10 day trip logging in a bunch of miles(this is the wifes daily driver) i noticed that when moving slow it feels like it cuts out. this is very faint and i made...

i had my tahoe in the other day to get the oil changed. the wife comes back and says the service manager told her our bow tie was in bad shape and if she had an extra 10 minutes he would fix it under warranty. i assumed he was just looking for a way to get a few extra bucks. later that day my...

cheap made junk but high high dollar price tag! im talking about the LTZ chrome outside plastic handles. they have 2 studs moulded into them that stick into the door where they have a nut on the back. all of mine the plastic holding the stud has busted out. when i had it at the dealer getting...

i have had 3 broken handles on my LTZ. being cheap plastic i could understand them having problems if they were abused but this thing has the easiest life you could imagine!

i have lost count of how many times XM has called! but last week we took a trip and as i was driving i received a call from XM. naturally telling me about the awesome deal they were offering that day. you know the story, blah blah blah. i had been driving for hours and the wife was asleep so i...

i hate to bust your bubble but the dealer aint your friend! the last thing that should be on your mind is what the dealer will think! the dealership and all its employees are there for one reason and one reason only! and that is to get the money. some are more subtle than others but i am a...

the 6.2 requires 91 & up octane but i cheat and use mid grade.

i have a 08 tahoe with the 6.2 motor & 6 speed auto trans. my partner has an 08 with the 5.3 flexfuel with 4 speed auto. both vehicles have just over 10k miles. we just got back from a trip of over 2000 miles. following each other everywhere and filling up at the same station. on fairly level...

i have one of the few LTZ tahoes with the 6.2L motor. i guess because there were so few released in 08 they didnt list the oil requirements in the manual. the 6.2 in my vette which i assume to pretty much be the same motor is to only use mobil one. so what does gm say to use in the denali or the...

i have one of the few tahoes with the 6.2 and would really like to have dual exhaust and prefer stainless. does anyone make a stainless dual kit?

so here i am sitting at the dinner table at my dads at 12:05 and my cell phone rings. not a real conveinant time but i answer it. it is a lady from XM wanting to renew my contract! i said "lady it is noon on sunday and fathers day on top of that!" she says "well we have a really good deal for...

there are a few out there. when i bought mine last month the only one available was a ruby red. naturally my dealer got a black one in which is exactly what i want! il sell mine that is just a month old. it gets 17-18 in mixed driving and strictly highway will hit 20.

i say buy a new enough rig that you are able to get the 6 speed auto trans.

there is NO comparison! the only thing the 5.3 has in common with the 6.2 tahoe is that they are both tahoe's. my friend bought a 5.3 and i bought a 6.2 and other than our driveline our vehicles are identicle. he gets an average in the 14mpg with mixed driving with his 5.3 & i get 17.2 mixed...
