G.R. was 3.42 on mine, the option package used is 3.08 and the ECOTEC3 engine package was $1,195 option..I never tried to see how fast it would go but if you floor it from a dead stop it will burn the tires. Mine has a 3.90 in it and it is a stump puller. The 3.08 feels like it cant get out of its own way. All of those GM's from the trucks to camaros feel alot snappier with the 3.55 gear in them. The 5.3 is a solid and reliable engine tho, it will most likely outlast any other production v-8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold Member BOHICA Posted August 21, 2018 Gold Member Share Posted August 21, 2018 We just need some 6.7 and 5.9 Cummins guys to come in and claim they get over 20 mpg and this thread would be complete with the standard bullshit MPG claims!!!!

From what I understand it's a different engine last couple years, I know it looks nothing like my 2007 5.3 Avalanche engine. Mine has the 6 speed trans, also available with the 8 speed, now GM is coming out with a 10 speed and I've been told Ford is coming out with a 12 speed.

Do you have the 5.0? The 10 speed eco’s that I have driven seems to work well. But the eco’s make all their power way down low in the rpm band compared to these hig rev modern v8’s from the big 3 Edited August 21, 2018 by BOHICA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angry ginger Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 20 minutes ago, XCR1250 said: 355 HP in mine. it still doesn;t feel like a lot, gearing is off on the things. it really was my biggest disappointment, actually thought my 09 felt far stronger and was maybe 1 mpg worse in economy. push comes to shove right now i'd prob pick up a 16 Ram or a 16 F150 ecoboost as there were not many 6.2 gmc's sold. I can't bring myself to buy new again and with a 16 still under factory warranty i can toss a 125k mile warranty on the ecoboost for relatively short money. Need to decide in the next few months if i am doing that or driving the explorer into the ground, this PTU issue has me thinking i might not want to keep it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
