Good to know the 14-17 5.3s are good. I know they redesigned them for that generation.

I laugh my ass off because he checks on it like 3 times a week and they are taking forever.

Yeah. My 18 is a 6.2 with an 8 speed. I think the 19 has a 10 speed.

I've seen it in person and hated it. The bank end sits up much higher than mine

If someone could get that picture to show I would appreciate it. I didn't like the look at all.

I get better fuel mileage out of my 6.2 than I ever did with the 5.3. Also 6 vs 8 speed. Last time I drove it to kc and back I averaged 23.6 miles to the gallon

I drove a rental Tacoma to kc yesterday and to be totally honest I average over 6 miles a gallon better on that trip in my big truck.

Yeah. That looks horrible. I don’t recall the one he drove looking like that.

Thanks for the help. I'm horrible at that. Lol

Thats a Chevy. I hate the look. I don't like the wrap around front fenders either. Ford and a Toyota mix.

I didn't even drive it.

But I can't find an 18 new with all my options either so I don't know what the **** i'm going to do. Probably drive this one a little longer. Just sucks.

But the new expedition will almost pass for a Tahoe. They will alllook the same soon.

It’s nothing a simple leveling kit can’t fix, the rest of the look not so much.

So is yours a Denali or High Country? I didn’t know they had 6.2s available otherwise.

Up to almost 20k to repair it at this point and they still wouldn't total it

Who told you the 8spd can’t be tuned, it’s absolutely can.

On the 18? Last I checked (couple months ago probably) black bear hadn't heard of anyone. It would re-write itself or something.

Just a 1500 ltz z71.

The 6.2 is only available in the half ton though. 6.0 (I think) in the 2500. At least on the 18s

Not sure who black bear is, but a good friend and the guy who does all my tuning/dyno work said “of course, it does require the trans controller to be sent in and unlocked”.

I knew about the 6.0 in 2500. I thought 6.2 was only in high country and Denali. Thanks man. Much appreciated.
