    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    1. Doesn't have one, somehow 2. Yup, wasn't able to put the sensor back in the new radiator, so it stays like that, I check it often though, no leaks or anything (thankfully)

    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    Since always, but this is the second or third time it's done so when going up steep hills, and the first time was like 2 weeks into when I first owned it As stated, I very rarely do such activities, so I've never noticed too much

    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    It's only been issue when climbing steep hills, but as I said, I dont go out and do that at all, its very rare for me to do that, other than that, it drives decent at highway speeds, city driving, etc, peep my other comment for the video reference

    See here how it cruises at +80 MPH, notice the guages, what they read, and how their motor sounds like https://photos.app.goo.gl/kBTeDDHZB8C1Gxh49

    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    Yup I'm aware, I get surprisingly decent MPG (my friend with a 454 BB Suburban envys it) with it I have no reasons to really swap anything since, as I stated before. I'm not going to tow or anything like that, this is a mere daily driver vehicle

    Apparently it's not as common for people to have those as opposed to Banks, haven't met anyone else with such a setup

    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    Yup, the OD plus Fluidampr keep it fairly quiet, it climbs up to 85 slowly but damn if it doesn't cruise calmy, even the boost guage doesn't show it going to crazy levels, nor the oil pressure guage and water temp

    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    It's a Stage III 4L60E, it's not a stock GM one, I even run an external Hayden cooler with it to keep it cool, also, I control it with a US Shift Kit controller, the Transmission was built by Gearstar

    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    Id honestly use the T6 Rotella, but i leak alot and was told to use regular T4 so it wouldn't get worse (and expensive) When I cruise the PSI stays at 3 typically, if at all slignt incline or putting my foot on the pedal it'll go to 5 PSI, but i keep an eye on the temp and oil pressure guage...

    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    1. Agreed. Hence why i got an aluminum radiator, it doesn't run past 190 most if at all, it creeps up to 200 when going on a steep incline, but it doesn't go past that. 2. Not sure what hoses i have, they seem okay, ill take photos of it when i can and upload them here. 3. Yup, I swapped out...
