Question for the LS6 experts out there

Just Passed 80,000 miles on the V. Does the LS6 timing need adjusted?

 

Feels like its developing some rough/vibration spots in the rev band, but that could be my imagination that its the engine: it only seems to happen when its in gear and under load, ala highway driving.

 

FYI - my rear diff had been serviced years back, not for the vibe/explosion issue on these cars but a leaking seal.

 

Think the vibe might just be the Tremec? This is the first T56 I've had up to these many miles, but those trannies are never smooth. Been gnarly in every car I've had one in.

 

 

...but yeah back to the original question: do I need to start thinking timing yet?

It's a timing chain engine thats computer controled, not sure what you mean by adjusting the timing. You may be getting some wear to the plugs or some small ignition issue if it feels like its starting to break up under load. I'm not really experienced in the V, but have heard there have been issues with engine mounts going bad.
