6.2 swap thread

One thing I hated about the 5.3 is you had to rev the shit out of it to move.

That really shouldn't be a problem now. :-D

Well, got everything installed.

Turned the key and heard immediate screeching. I tried a couple times and it backfired. It did make great oil pressure.

I have a feeling I somehow still screwed up the cam phaser install and that is the screeching noise. I really hope so, because I will just run my 3 bolt cam if that's the case. I will start tearing down the front cover and valvetrain now, will report back.

I didn't have any coolant in the system, could the water pump make a screeching noise if it's dry? If I can get an answer on that, I'll try running it again with no belts.

The 6.2 should have come from the factory in the Tahoe.


Waiting too hear this baby fire up Mike.

Ooh. Hope it's just the coolant issue. After all of my install I have a bad bearing in my water pump. Replaced the idler pulley then swapped the tensioner pulley off my 5.3 and still have the noise. >sigh<

Started it with no belts. No noise and started right u. Thank god!
