New Guy With A Few ?s On Vortec Max Trucks

[67mike]

This is my first post, so I just wanted to say hi...great site...very informative.

Ive been lurking around here for about a month now. I am a proud owner of a 2007 ECSB LTZ silverado with the Vortecmax. I really do love this truck.

 

I was wondering why do some Vmax trucks have the slot in the front bumper and some do not?

 

Second question......Does anyone know how many 1500 series trucks were produced with the Vortec Max 6.0 in 2007?

There must be some production numbers available somewhere.

 

Thanks for all your help guys.

In 2007/08, the NHT equipped trucks came with the "High-Flow" (slotted) bumper. Not all VMax trucks were NHT equipped.

Welcome to the site. We need some pics of that truck!

 

The trucks that have slots (2007-2008) are trucks witht the tow package. Now for 2009+ all of the 1500's have slotted bumpers.

 

I have no idea on the numbers made.

Welcome to the site..

As Jeff & Robert posted above...The trucks with the slotted bumpers in '07/'08 have the "NHT" Max-Trailering Pkg.

The NHT package included the slotted bumper,along with specific cooling fan motors,rear leaf springs,Z85 suspension,and 4.10 gears on 4wd models. They were also limited to the 17" inch wheels/tires.

As Jeff also posted,not all 6-liter VMAX trucks have the NHT pkg. (As mine and his do not have it)

 

Specific production numbers on VMAX trucks are not available.

No, but I do have a High-Flow slotted bumper.

Jeez, Jeff.... hole in the bumper, hole in the head.... does it ever stop?

Welcome to the site. We need some pics of that truck!

 

 

Thanks for the info guys!

Well that must mean I do not have the "NHT" package, because I have no slot in my fron bumper.

 

I purchased my 07 Vmax about a month ago and I absolutley love it! Never thought I would be so excited about my daily driver. I like this truck so much that Im having second thoughts about driving it on the salt and gravel covered roads this winter. But it is a truck and I might as well enjoy it .

 

Ive included a few pics of my truck below. It is basically all stock, which is the way I prefer to buy them. I plan on a few simple mods starting with 3M Protection film on the front and door bottoms, GM molded slash gaurds, GM rear inner wheelhouse liners, GM bed and tailgate mat, RC leveling kit, tonneau cover, and HID fogs.

 

I would also like to join in on the Black Bear Tune in MN this coming spring.

 

Ive also included a pic of my 67 Camaro. I see some of you guys are into that sort of thing as well.

[MS3DALE]

Definitely get the Black Bear tune!

[Stevens03]

Oh I'm in for Blackbear in the Spring too! Great looking truck. They are fun and they do scoot

[VMax2007]

I want that Camaro!

[2005LT]

Nice car and truck Mike! Welcome to the site.

[66nova]

Good looking car!! How about some more specs on it. Have you ever ran it? I can't tell from the pic on my screen are you running ladder bars or do I see something like caltracs or slida links?

 

You are going to love your Black Bear tune. Justin likes tuning the 6.0 and 6.2 trucks they really respond well. There are a couple mustangs around here that have been shocked by my grocery getter

Interesting info. I wonder how I have the Z71 package and NHT? Another strange deal was when I purchased the truck and used my GM card dollars, the VIN showed it to be a "classic"... I didn't argue as it allowed me to use $3500 vs $1500 redemption allowance...
