Hmm i coulda swore i read that the 5.3 got bigger axle in the new gen truck but the max tow n 6.2 got bigger ring gear, i gota do some reading its been awhile

V-6 trucks use an 8.6-inch axle and V-8 models use a 9.5-inch one. Those who opt for the Max Trailering Package get a 9.75-inch axle with a 3.73:1 ratio. That package, however, isn't available with regular-cab trucks.

Beautiful truck Robert, very nice..

I sold my RCSB about three months ago and bought a new Colorado, and just sold it, I couldn't hang with the V6..

I just placed an order for a new 5.3 RCSB and if i may, can I ask you a question about your wheel choice?

I put my last two trucks together with the same 3/5 kit as you but have only run 20" wheels with stock size tires.

Can you tell me how those 22'/305's ride in comparison?

Thanks in advance and again, nice truck...Here's a picture of the '14 I put together that I sold...

Thanks...I appreciate the complement. Well I can say that I went from the stock 17's to the polished 20's to the 22's. The 17's were spongy to my liking but not much difference between to 20's and 22's if that say's anything and I'm glad I went with the 22's and 305's instead of the 285-45 GM recommended size.

Not to rub it in but... WTH were you thinking going with a RADO, That's a very nice RCSB you had there and I'm a big fan of the High Country Grille inserts but I brushed mine with a scotch-brite pad to give it the brushed stainless finish.

Build up date... I ordered a 6.2 Manifold and Throttle body for my ride I already had the 6.2 camshaft and considering the LT-1 Heads. I will take pics of the install and the intake ports in the heads to see how good the RX catch can is working.

Sweet truck! All the dark grey look badass, and I agree the above post that said those rims and tire look great.

If you're looking for something cheap to do you should tint those tails

i like it, looks good

I installed the 6.2 Intake and throttle body yesterday, it was an easy install and only to 1 hr 5 min's from start to finish. The Airaid MIT is a little louder but no real gains that i noticed and did some 1/4 mile blast and some WOT interstate blast up to the speed limiter. Headers, tune, camshaft is next then we will see some real gains. The truck is a year old with less than 4000 miles and I have an RX catch can with the clean side separator.

Looks like we won't be able to rely on the catch can alone to keep the intake valves clean.

Build update... As some of you know already I just purchased a 2014 6.2 engine, trans, 9.76 rear axle w/3.73 gears. The parts only have 5xxx miles on them and the engine has had an RX Catch can on since day one. My plans are to install the 6.2 power plant and install a Magnuson TVS 1900 with a set of ARH headers into my RCSB.

I was saving money at the time for the Supercharger and this deal came up and I couldn't pass it up being the truck was local and knowing the owner through a friend and has very very low miles. So I am saving for the Supercharger again but the headers will be in the next few months as I just bought from a member (Giotunac) here an ARH not catted Y-pipe for $200 shipped to my door . Pics during the build will be posted.
