Default 6.2 liter vortec package 1/2 ton?

anyone on here have one or drive one, if so how does that motor run compared to the 5.3 liter v8, I'm thinking of ordering one due to the fact it has the 3.73 rear gear ratio, and I'd like to stick to the 1/2 ton size, thanks matt

I don't have a 6.2, but my dad has a 08 vmax that has the 6.0 and 4:10 gears. He got a custom tune on it and the thing runs like a raped ape compared to the 5.3s around here, and the 6.2s are suppose to have more power than his has. Get one, then contact justin at blackbearperformance.com or charlie at gowheatley.com. They'll hook you up with a custom tune that'll rock your world

I have a 2010 ltz crew cab with the 6.2 motor. My gas milage average from day one with 25k miles is 17.3, and I live in the mountains.
