2015 Chevy 1500 6.2L 8 Speed - Ike Gauntlet

Looks like the 8 speed tranny is the ticket for the 6.2L beast!

    I was getting gas the other day and there was a new suburban next to me. I was shocked how aggressive the exhaust note was when he started it. Don't know what engine it had but it sure did sound nice.
  • Did I hear them correctly when they mentioned that the Silverado 6.0 gas HD won the heavy duty gas test?
    If so very interesting when the competition (6.2 Ford, 6.4 Ram) seem to have the advantage on paper.

  • Looks like a winner! 12k towing, 2k payload. And it appears to scoot along pretty comfortably.
  • I love that a beast of a motor can get near 21 on highway !! Nice job GM. Now make me a duramax suburban !!
