They can absolutely optimize these motors and surpass the current mpg they get. It’s government bs making them do this.

The higher octane recommendation is altitude dependent. On older, high compression V-8's, I would observe pinging (knock) under load at sea level, but not at altitude, where the air can be ~15% less dense. The newer engines address knock by retarding the timing. Some do so in 2 degree increments, up to ~10+ degrees. Retarding the timing can dramatically reduce horsepower and fuel economy. It would be very useful if the engine WARNED the driver when its sensors detected knocking and elected to retard timing. The driver could then learn what octane they needed based on their load, air temperature, and altitude, and accordingly decide which fuel is best.

At 88,000, installed a edelbrock 2.3 liter supercharger. At 125,000 miles, started having some minor transmission issues. Slipping from time to time, hard downshifts, etc. Just replaced the transmission myself at 181,386 miles with a GM reman. Total cost for me installing the reman GM transmission that came with new torque converter and fluid was about $3,600-$3,700. Now feels like I'm driving a new truck again. Average 16 mpg alltogether. Only lost 1mpg with the addition of the supercharger. It used to average 17 mpg alltogether driving.

HP Tuners is making good progress on GM's Global B ECM's; they have the L5P and the LT2 in the C8 able to be unlocked now. The 6.2L L87 is very similar to the LT2 in the C8 Corvette, and I believe it (L87) was the same long-block as the LT1, so these are not bad engines. Lot's Camaro and C7 Corvette running LT1's. AFM/DFM has always been about GM and never about the owner that makes the whole circle of life happen for the automakers. GM needs higher corporate average fuel economy (CAFE) ratings or they get dinged and pay subsidies/penalties to the government. This is why FCA is finally getting out of all their Hemi V8's; (they can't afford the penalties any longer.) While it would be awesome if you could get an L87 without DFM and just get regular LS/LT lifters, once your particular L87 vehicle is able to be tuned, you can do a delete and replace them all with very durable aftermarket lifters. I prefer the Johnson 2110's that GM puts in their COPO Camaro's. That said, while I have heard of a couple C8's needing new lifters, this seemed like it was more 2020/21 vehicles but who outside of GM knows for sure? Likely supplier QC issues during COVID, and less the actual design. The other beauty of these engines is in their relatively simple design. One camshaft, two-valves per cylinder. There are tons of aftermarket performance parts available for these LS/LT motors. I live a few miles away from Texas Speed and Performance and the LS/LT motors are their bread and butter. Pulling the heads is not a horrible job for those that know what they are doing. Get them ported and polished and beef up the valve springs while you're in there. I think everyone can agree that it's probably the most mod-friendly engine family in existence, no other engine family in GM or any other automaker has the following and aftermarket support that the GM LS/LT motors do. I have always been skeptical of the oil requirement for the 6.2 in the truck versus the Corvette. GM is adamant about 0w-20 in the trucks and they went from 5w-30 to a 0w-40 for the 6.2 in the C8 Corvette. I have come to the opinion that this is probably in large part just due to the way the motor runs in the truck versus the C8 or Camaro. My L87 doesn't go through the revs like the LT2 in my C8; I rarely even get it up to 4k at it's peak torque curve, especially with the 10 speed transmission. But as you said, if you put your foot in it, the truck just goes. This is a small-block V8 that has the torque of a big-block with the power levels of a modern V8., it's the best of both worlds. I wouldn't let the DFM/lifters scare you away from buying one of these vehicles, it has warranty for 5yrs/60k miles (should still be 100k miles but whatever, GM,) and once you get past that, you should have the ability to tune your L87 vehicle and either turn off electronically the DFM or preferably, physical remove the DFM lifters and disable it in the ECM. I might be tempted to swap my Silverado ZR2 6.2L for a new MY24 Silverado ZR2 LZ0 Duramax, but the 6.2L V8 probably has less overall maintenance given that you don't have a turbo or any of the diesel after treatment equipment. While I am sure as you mentioned in your review about the LZ0, that it sounds great (sort of like the straight 6 Cummins diesel in their 2500 trucks,) you won't ever get quite the NASCAR grumble and sounds that you can get out of a good exhaust on a GM 6.2L V8; (I prefer AWE for both the C8 and my ZR2 truck.)

Disabling DFM electronically isn't enough. Removing the lifters is also not enough as you need to replace the cam with it. Where GM screwed up the 2nd most (After the crappy lifters), is their huge VVT cam gear... You have to drop the oil pan (which sucks on a 4wd model), remove the oil pump, remove the chain, and then replace the cam to a non-DOD cam because of the lack of space to just pull the cam gear like on older LS engines. Alternatively, you can pry the chain off the cam gear one link at a time (which is a pain in the ass for removal and installation)... but it's BS that this even needs to be done just to cam swap.

I replaced a worn out ring gear and the poorly designed starter that caused it with this little geared starter from Japan from an elderly auto electric tech. After 25 years the auto glow plug gadget died and I upgraded it to a manual 300A starter relay to preheat it. It has 98000 miles and with a new vacuum pump shifts so smoothly you barely feel it. 3000 mile oil changes with Shell Rotella T4 to clean up diesel blowby and it uses no oil. 6.2 is a great engine in my $2000 truck...

It's been tuned with Trifecta and had the AFM shut off from new, again, not sure if this helps. It's an overall fun truck to drive, especially in sport mode on the tune, it picks up insanely fast in this mode. The only down side is the 8 speed, it clunks and bangs into gear sometimes, as I'm sure your aware, but it does shift great and smooth with the tune. My next is a Duramax, you sold me on this.

From what I understand according to another channel the problems with the AFM/DFM are less than 1% of the trucks made with it. Not sure how accurate that is. That being said I turned mine off after it started pumping oil into the four of my cylinders when they were on in V-8 mode and was burning oil and misfiring. I turned it off at 86,000 miles and never had another issue. The truck has over 198,000 on it now and still runs really good. It is a 2012 with the 5.3 and 6L80. If and when I get another one I will turn it off immediately.

I just want to add my comment. It was a very good video but I’m not sure where he got the mileage rating or maybe the GMC is worse than the Chevy Silverado. I did turn off my fuel management system and I am still getting 20 miles per gallon on super with an S and B intake. And that’s doing it by the math and the miles not with the ticker in the truck just my little comment to let everybody know that turning off the fuel management system is definitely a good idea. The truck responds and actually drives like a 6.2 L V8 much more enjoyable still get great gas mileage and have all the power to enjoy the truck.

Love my truck...but.. 14,000 miles on it and it spun a rod bearing so i took it to a dealer where a friend works as a mechanic(20+ years). After getting the engine replaced i asked him what the deal was and he said that they believe they are having oiling issues as he has done (5) 6.2l replacements in the last few months, some as low as 10,000 miles. Makes me wonder if it is due to the variable volume/pressure oil pump?

Im surprised they recommend 93 octane for this 6.2 instead of 91. Here in Cali the highest octane we can get is 91 (which i hate) so according to GM theres no way you can get maximum performance if you live in Cali (another drawback of living here being governed by idiots).

In terms of V8's I would say the 5L coyote is a more reliable engine, I would even venture to say the 5.7 Hemi's are more reliable at this point. If you want a GM product I would highly look into the 3L Duramax. I think that engine is actually very well made.

The 6.2 Ford is the best these days. No dfm, no direct injection, still stuck behind the 6r140 6spd auto, which is bombproof. Not good mileage, but powerful and ultimate reliability. The 3l Duramax is an opel design I believe, which means it'll be a disaster eventually. The timing set is at the back the engine for gods sake.

Hello from North Carolina. I would not mind using premium fuel with the high compression ratio, The DFM reminds me too much of Cadillac's 1981 disaster, the V8-6-4 modular displacement engine. My father had one and so did I. GM seems bad at pushing technology that is not ready for prime time. You being so young, missed out on other GM greats such as the Olds 5.7 Diesel, Cadillac HT4100 v8. I wonder which 1/2 ton you like the most, this truck or the Duramax? What the heck is a variable displacement oil pump? Enjoy your channel.

My brother has a GM truck with a small block 5.3 it has a similar problem with the cylinder deactivation. Fortunately, it was under warranty and has been repaired, twice! I am not so impressed. GM has a history of leaving its testing program to the customer base which is inconvenient and can be costly if you plan to keep the vehicle. One other thing I don't like about a gas engine is the fuel economy. I live in Western Canada and we have big time grades and wind to compete with. I have tried driving gas engines and they just don't do it for me. A diesel powered pickup just makes so much more sense for me.
