yeah 03 was the first year of the SS. i think its got special shocks and i know its lowered in the rear..... but im pretty sure its just another 6.0 in a 1500 nothing special, they just look awesome.

 

the Trailblazer SS is probably a lot faster then the silvy SS, i mean the TBSS is a small suv with a 6.0

 

 

if traction wasnt an issue, which silvy SS would be faster, the RWD or AWD?

 

my RWD TBSS ran 13.49 @102 bone stock with about 800 miles on it. it also ran 13.50, .51, .53, .55, .56 the same day. An AWD TBSS ran with me he went 13.77 and then a bunch of 13.9's so to answer the question about which is faster between an AWD and RWD vehicle when traction is not an issue, it's simple. less weight and and reduced friction, rotating mass etc, 2WD only wins every time.

 

 

thats what thought... what handles better? RWD or AWD?

 

thats pretty fast for stock...

 

They handle very similarly, but the AWD which I have slips a lot less (obviously). TBSS usually don't run 13's stock, they must have had great DA that day at the track. Usually they run 14.0-14.5 stock. Doesn't take much to get one into the 13's though.

Def beat one at the drags with a 5.3 reg cab chevy truck. There was 2 of em and from what i understand is that the motor is the same as the gm performance 6.0 they sell just without a comp tune. Chevy tuned it down I guess for "mpg" and emissions? No idea why but the 2nd one i raced blew my doors off by 4-5 truck lengths and he had the same addons i have now.

The difference between the truck engines and car engines is next to nothing. Had it just been a tuned RWD SSS it would've had no problem dragging you down the road

I know the power because I have that engine in my truck. And I have asked questions on silveradoss.com about it before I had the swap done. They all seem to think I need 3.73's or 4.10's.

      Mangoal or FitcamX OEM Dashcam?

      By MANGOAL · Posted

      Late reply, but yes—it works on the SLT trim. Compatibility comes down to the plastic shroud shape behind your mirror, not the trim badge itself. On the SLT with auto-dimming, it uses a plug-and-play Y-harness off the mirror/rain sensor power, so no need to run wires down to the OBD port. If anyone's ever unsure about fitment, just drop a photo of your mirror housing and we can double-check it.   Appreciate the detailed feedback on the install! On the windshield glare—we actually took feedback like yours and developed a dedicated CPL (polarizer) filter to cut down dash reflections on sunny days. If you're still running the cam, shoot me a DM. I'd be happy to send a CPL filter over for you to test out—no charge.

      Yes, every time the developer updates his code, you must recompile. I will private message you with the latest because it changes pretty much with every version.

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      After I wrote that reply I went for a ride. 85 F out. So trans started at 85 F and it shifted the same as it did an hour latter at 168 F. I've never actually recorded the to cold to shift point but it is under 32 F before they start hanging on to a lower gear or leaving the converter unlocked. Both intended to heat fluid.    Yes, brake or bake. Absolutely.      Your welcome. True research ended decades ago. Field trials are still in play.    There is a thing called oxidation onset temperature. This is the heat related oxidation not the O2 exposure kind. For mineral oil that starts at 140 F. So what happens after 140 F? Each 20 F cuts fluid life in half! Does using a Full Synthetic improve that? Yes! By how much? Depends on the base oil type and a few other factors. But enough to notice. Some esters are even higher. There are even synergies between types the will raise it higher than any one component is alone.    Then there is "Hindered" oils. Antioxidant additives. Hindered Polyol Esters can sit at 500 F for years in a turbine.   When a blender brags his oil will 'take 500 F" in service he doesn't specify for how long. Water will dance on a 500 F hot plate for several seconds. @newdude put up a chart showing the relationship between fluid temperature and it's life in an automatic transmission. Here's a version of that chart for Group III based oils. These temperatures are those in the pan as observed as 'normal'. that is you drive as you do for as long as you do under what load you ask of it and whatever that temperature is this graph applies to. Flash temperatures of a few minutes isn't what his means.    Note that fluids held at a constant 240 F have a service life of only 20K miles. 220 F explains the factory exchange limit, eh? My equipment I keep under 180 F and I'm good if the cooler will hold it as low as 140 F. But that's me.
