It does completely change the way a Traverse drives. I very much enjoy the tune in my '12 LS!
You know for 4 years GM was nice enough to sell you a very roomy sedan with a very nice LS3 in it to fit all your kids and luggage, ya'll should've bought that instead2x, if 310 hp is not enough power in a soccer mom vehicle you need a Camaro parked next to it.
For me it's not about the supposed power or torque increases, it's about improving the godawful shift logic on the 6T75. And I was hoping it would tune out the 2-3 and 3-2 issues that there is a TSB out for but that is only fixed by replacing the valve body.2x, if 310 hp is not enough power in a soccer mom vehicle you need a Camaro parked next to it.
Loved them then. Love them now. Never remotely been close to affording one and by the time I can they will be used up or unobtabium.You know for 4 years GM was nice enough to sell you a very roomy sedan with a very nice LS3 in it to fit all your kids and luggage, ya'll should've bought that instead![]()
Oh, I remember it every day when I get behind the wheel. I had the option to get a manual one but didn't because the wife can't drive stick. Since I bought it new 6 years ago, she's driven it twice. So now I kick myself. Still have a 6 speed in the T/A at least.You forgot about the fact that they offered it with a 6 speed manual as well. The balls on these guys, I love it.
I get my manual kicks from my three on the tree '61 Impala... unsynchronized first gear... maybe a bit too authentic at times, I do like synchros.Oh, I remember it every day when I get behind the wheel.

I did snag it on 20% off though so the pocketbook hit wasn't much more than our '17 Traverse a year later.
2x on shift quality. On my '15 Malibu power gain was not noticeable, but the trans. shifting was where it was at. Old school shifts not the short shifting into the highest gear logic of today to get another 1 mpg.For me it's not about the supposed power or torque increases, it's about improving the godawful shift logic on the 6T75.

Regardless, it does shift better under most other circumstances and that was worth it.
