I had a 2016 3:73 9.5“ 5.0 SC now I have 2022 3:73 9.5” 5.0 SC there are differences in how the driveline feels (no clunks yet)when shifting. The new engine is much more powerful than the 2016. It took longer to breakin foresure. Mine just came to life at 6800 miles on the clock. No ticks or piston slap when cold. I just lock out gears 8,9,10 turn off trac cntrl and it’s crazy fast. rear end acts like limited slip, both tires spin. makes Ya grin like a kid, it hits 100 quick.
I don’t like the tranny‘s light pump gear whine at low RPM or short droaning pump sound when going into gear from park Or reverse.
I like the engine And think it’s improved quite a bit. Longevity will tell all.
Kinda worry about oil pump belt/tension when hot Roddin it. Belts creep and break if the tensioner isn’t a really good design.
tow Mode is really nice with a trailer. So smooth.
