Hey can you buy the engine it self like a project for an older model for the 2004 and 2003 Tahoe or Yukon?

[@dobie25fan]

only 10 years late, put it in the blazer and make something exciting, Chevrolet!

[@RedBud315]

Only if the new Blazer had been put on a frame. I was so disappointed with the new Blazer when I saw it riding on a Unibody platform. I wish Chevy had come out with a new El Camino when Pontiac was about to release the Sport Ute. I would have traded my Dodge Rumble Bee for it since I don't need a big truck. Just one to haul my motorcycle and do some home improvement stuff.

Do they still have the DOD lifter problem? It’s from the dealer not the factory so how is it a TRX killer? TRX is a off road truck this is a street SUV more like a Durango or Trackhawk just bigger😊

No DOD was discontinued I think back in 2021 across the board.

GM IS THE WORST..ALWAYS LATE TO THE PARTY....HP, Interiors, Hybrid Truck Options......WTF!? You should be able to outfit your truck anyway you want....only ford offers a RCSB V8 that you can bump up2 700 lhp for less than 50g with a warranty?!

[@BigKleib34]

Not a bad deal for that much power with a warranty!

[@ifuaintfirsturlast7551]

😂 good luck with the warranty. Dealers are tooth and nail when it comes to warranty work ...if they do honor it better hire another master tech to double triple check your "warranty work"

[@NSWNY]

I agree with the silly 3,000$ price difference. I guess maybe their goal was to give the consumer 2 completely different engines to choose from. I'll never be able to afford it, but I wouldn't even consider the 5.3 if the 6.2 is only 3,000 more.

You can buy an rst Tahoe with the performance pack for 75k with a 6.2 comes with 6 piston brembos and lowered sport adaptive suspension with bigger sway bars too air intake and cat back exhaust all from gm now add your own 3.0 whipple for 10k and your at 700hp for 85k lol 😂 fuck this for 125k lol 😂

[@leopapio683]

Honestly, not too crazy on the pricing, I had optioned out a suburban with performance exhaust and brakes and a bunch of other goodies, and it was $100k give or take. Unless they're giving you the base model with absolutely zero option? But $25k isn't too bad. Consider a whipple that will be $11k, fuel system, and fuel injectors, which is a good $3k to $5k, depending on how far you take it. We're already at $16k, and we still have a built blue print engine to add, brakes, suspension, wheels, badges, and most importantly, the labor 😂

[@chipperdipski]

[@justadakota1822]

You gm guys are really something. Why do you play this off as it's a factory car. It's not it's a inhouse tuner essentially. Like dodges direct connection. So gm has to do this kind of crap to try and compete. With a real factory 700hp Durango's. If we are going by you're logic. Dodge makes a 69 charger fully carbon fiber with a hellfant 1000hp. And please stop telling dudes it doesn't matter if they work on their own stuff. We are trying to stop the purse toting I'm not sure if I'm a man or not Guy's. sincerely every real man

Why don't you just wait till the 2025's hits the ground????? Look It up. J think you will be upset if you don't thet are doing a pretty great update like refresh on the front, rear taillights and a new dashboard that has a 17.7 inch screen kind of the one thats in the Escalade now. And the Escalade is getting a new 54 inch screen all the way across the dash.😅

[@g4do]

Too little, too late . It's competitors have been doing this for way longer , and they're lighter . The Tahoe is 6 thousand plus pounds , the trackhawk and every other performance suv is below 6 thousand pounds. General motors has been failing their fans . 668 hp Cadillac Escalade and ct6 v blackwing without the good transmission that they manufacture. When it's competitors all have 700+ hp and purpose built for top tier performance. Like I said, too little too late . In fact, this is the wrong suv for this type upgrade. The Blazer is lighter and can be transformed into a luxury monster .

[@anthonybrown1862]

Black wing does look sexy though 🤣🤷🏽

[@welcome2gapplebees952]

Funny you didn’t compare it to something in its actual class. Like the Hellcat Durango or Trackhawk that Dodge makes. But you compare it to the off-road inspired package. So to me that you already know it’s a overpriced flop.

Those 2 are not full-sized SUVs.

[@michaelbuteau4183]

Neither is the T, R, X, it's a truck, not a S. U. V. The Hellcat Durango is a closer match.

[@jonshields437]

Well technically it's not because it's weight is more equal to the trucks. Not approving it nor striking it down. That's just a fact.

[@ropace37]

It’s a Tahoe not a Suburban. Tahoe would be in same class as Durango technically speaking. And to compete in class with the TRX, this “Yenko” package would need to be on a Silverado ZR2.

[@ropace37]

You do know the government still owns majority of GM right? And the Challenger is obsolete but the Charger comes in 2 or 4 doors and still has pony powered options with a 600hp boosted strait 6 that is more track focused. You know, what Ford and Chevy did to the Mustang and Camaro/Vette years ago (RIP Camaro). So no, not sht’n ya. Stellantis had the only drag focused “muscle cars” but since most 1/4 mile strips have been shut down and everyone wants to record themselves racing on the freeway now instead, they evolved to make more money. Business 101. Do ya research.

Got married, kids. Had to buy a bunch of crap had to be responsible. Fast forward to now 2013 camaro ZL1 bought new. Did a 12 flat stock except for Toyo Proxes R888R's drag radials. Heavy car but with the tires and cold air induction around 600 horses give or take. With mag ride can turn with the best. Just bought a high country 6.2. 420 hp dual mode exhaust mag ride. Not worried about the cylinder problem dealer I bought from has life time warranty in writing for eng. Tiny cheep shot at the end of your comment. You say to know my history. I know enough and lived history for 71 yrs. I don't know how old you are? I imagine much younger. I wish the best for you. There was much trouble in the world in my time. But we were manily live & let live, and a lot of give and take. It's F'ed up now, no common sense, mean ugly. I still wish back in the day I got a 70 hemi Cuda. And absolutely loved the 68- 70 road runner's. Not today's tho. And you might agree that putting a speaker in elect Challenger is nuts. Like I said all the best to you.
