Is the 6.2 a better engine than a 6.0

[o2man98]

The 6.0 is tried and true. It is essentially the same engine as your 5.3 with larger bore. In all fairness the 6.2 is also based on similar architecture.

That's what I want to hear. I am thinking of this rig but it has to be about as "look at me" as you can get. Still thinking 08 though.

ONLY 14,000 miles........this thing is like new. My 07 is Yellow and I purchased it brand new, sticker price was $76K. If you can get this one, your getting a deal on it, because if you go and buy the lift kit, tires, wheels, etc. your talking several thousand dollars.

One thing I forgot to mention..........from experience, due to me having 2 Hummers, one with the 6.0 and the other with the 6.2
On the 6.0 Liter, my opinion, its more refined, quiet, and idles SMOOTH AS GLASS.........now with the 6.2 Liter, its more noisy, and it DONT idle smooth at all.

I would say its really a personal perference, some will say the 6.2 while me and some others would say the 6.0
Its best to go with what you feel is your choice considering your the one going to be paying for it. You had said earlier you had a 5.3 liter and it was a great engine.........just think of the 6 liter being even better.

I will hush up on this topic.......but the one on ebay your looking at, thats the one I would go for if I were you.

I have a LE Yellow Z71 (Not the bright but the orangish yellow like Dewalt trucks) and you can see tit from the gate coming out of the Cowboys stadium barely looking for it. I am not sure about the color.

I agree, Sounds like one hell of a deal. I just need to buy the full rear seat.

As far as lifting it, I will lift whatever I buy. 38"-40" tires. This is my rig.

I am 37 and drive like granma. I am not real interested in speed as much as taking my ATV's to the deer lease.

See tit? Boy I may have to keep it then but I can not find where to see the tit. What I meant was see it.

I have an 07 Yukon Denali w/the 6.2 (403HP).......I absolutley love the power! I do tend to drive on the throttle alot...not trying to spin tires...just like to feel some revs. My 05 H2 (325HP)feels good, and the torque is better than the 6.2, just as mentioned above, but still in need of more power. I would love to drive the 6.2 in the Hummer....I think it would rock! If your not into trying to make more power though bolt on performance, I would recommend the 08.

Good luck and there really isn't a bad choice if it's an H2!!!

6.0 is the way to go hands down. Have been constantly upgrading power add ons and even spoke with Hummer engineer about the fact I was trying to see how much power I can get out of a stock 6.0 and he constantly spoke of strength of engine. He said at some point top end changes needed just to push through more air and fuel but, said without hesitating to say do not worry about bottom end it will do it's job.

Now anyone in performance will tell you everything has it's limits even bottom end of 6.0 but, guy was just telling me not to worry for a good while.
This motor has been tried and true for a long long time by the commercial industrial world. It has not had many complaints. I have the 5.3 in my 99 Silverado with 200,000 miles and it has been tuned up performance stuff but, driven like a horse rode hard and put up wet. It runs around 300 to 325 HP at the wheels based on GT TECH PRO and have hard time just leaving stop signs without breaking the tires loose not trying. In a 5000 mile between oil change with Penn 10W30 it will use 1/2 quart maybe. Still drive it everyday and like it with no plans to let it go. It still blows friends minds when they feel it put them back in seat.

What can I say I'm a huge fan of 6.0 and 5.3.
