The Ford Truck forum says the 6.2 is the most reliable engine, ever ... and the transmission. Of course, they probably say that about every engine in a Ford Truck.

I haven't worked on the 6.2. I have to assume that it is improved over the 5.4 and V10.

That's a good sign then, isn't it?

[Eye of the Tiger]

Yeah. The numbers look good. 0-60 in 7 seconds, right? It is a truck engine for trucks. The 6 speed automatic is the same as the one behind the diesel.

[shp4man]

Not many issues with that motor. The plugs are a bitch to change, but....

[Eye of the Tiger]

Huge aftermarket for the 6.2, and their headquarters is like an hour away from here. Sweet.

Can't be any worse than a 5.4, even with 16 plugs.

I have an additional solution for GMC's 700R4 TV cable. I  am going to get this right. It can tow something.

[Eye of the Tiger]

The good news is that I got my TV cable adjusted and clamped in place so it won't keep going out of adjustment. GMC is running good.

Wouldn't it be sweet to haul around a little camper with this thing?

The Cummins M-11 will be way overpowered. I mean, it was built to move actual mobile homes, not camper trailers.

Do you "live" in South Dakota now?

[Eye of the Tiger]

Do you "live" in South Dakota now?

Nah. I decided to stay in this shit state, but in a county with lower taxes. I might move to a different state if I ever get a job that pays well enough to worry about income tax.

The problem is, I have been all through this GMC, in and out, back and forth, and I know it's done right. So it's a 4.3 with 3.42 gears in a little 28-spline 8.5" rear end, whatever. It's going to tow a 5000# camper trailer and it's going to like it.

Just keep it in first gear.

[Submariner]

Oh, and I'd absolutely get that International.

[Eye of the Tiger]

Low range? I can easily disable the front axle and have 4 speeds in low range.

[Eye of the Tiger]

GMC did well commuting, today. Very torque. 0-30 is pretty quick. After that, eh.
Tomorrow is Dakota Thursday. Might install this subwoofer that's been sitting in my livingroom.

[Eye of the Tiger]

So I decided that I want a VW Beetle with a Chebby 350 ... good thing my decisions rarely happen.

Dakota now has teh boom booms.


This is what I do at work while waiting for parts.

[Eye of the Tiger]

Set the crossover between the speakers and sub at 80 Hz with a 6 dB slope on the sub and 12 dB on the speakers, tweaked some EQ. Set sub level to 3/10. Fear Factory has come to life. Amazing sound for right at $200 between the head unit, install kit, door speakers, subwoofer, and dat Home Depot Dynamat schit.

[CaminoRacer]

What sub is that?

[Eye of the Tiger]

What sub is that?

Rockville RTB65A. Amp and sub combo tube. $70 on Amazon. Only the best.
