It does sound fun, what do those engines redline at? If it's F1 based it may be stupid high, but I'd love to hear it.

Yeah, 9k I think?

SnakeEyes I'd try ten grand, but only on the test drive...

Ryan you probably had a cold car and opened the garage on a warm day and bam. I know when it warms up the dock at work will "sweat" like crazy. More slick than ice when it does.

Of the SS?

 

It's a 6.2, non-direct injection.

So far just my sig, LS3 6.2 liter. Ordered this today http://www.ssforums.com/forum/engine-technical-discussion/6961-roto-fab-cold-air-intake-7.html one of ten in production, and Weathertech liners yesterday. Waiting for this to get finished as well http://www.magnaflow.com/sales/02product/displayapplications.asp?partnumber=15290

I'll do everything I can within the confines of a warranty. For now...

^I just might, we have a pretty good hot rod shop in town, owned by my Chevy dealer. They just did a new SS for a guy, long tubes, cam and tune, 80 RWHP, est. 110-112 at the crank. Bad news is brand new car, drivetrain warranty void. Not a chance I can afford to take, but I'll bet that car is a blast to drive, it is in stock form. http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/news/2014/01/2014-chevrolet-ss-first-drive-review/index.htm

Same platform as the G8 GXP I owned. I loved that car, prob should have never sold it but the wife's mom was giving me grief about letting it sit in the garage all of the time. Only car I ever owned that I didn't lose money on when I sold it 3 years later.

 

Tell you right now be ready for some issues and fun with stock suspension. The front strut bushings are prone to failure and collapsing. Nice thing is you can replace them with urethane bushings. I did that to the front end, rear bushing kit, sway bars and replaced the stock Bridgestone Potenza's with Michelin Pilot Super Sports, car drove like it was on rails. I added a rotofab intake, magnaflow x-pipe, magnaflow mufflers, 160° stat and tuned the ECM/TCM. Car put down 375rwhp with those mods alone.

 

Was getting ready to put Kooks headers on it when I sold it for a 2008 Vette.

Sounds like a good check list. Keeping the stock tune(and the stock warranty) at least for now.

I seen your old truck 2 times and I tried to catch up with you once but I was in the work truck and I don't think my work would appreciate me getting a ticket with their truck.

      Oil Consumption

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I agree.   However, the owner's manual, suggests that a drop over full is just as bad as a drop under. (Read black and white letters only, insert no common sense.)

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      That P0700 and loss of power suggests something significant is amiss to me.   More/other codes may suggest otherwise; I would investigate those prior to spending the money to change fluid on a transmission with a bad torque converter.    The relatively sudden escalation of symptoms to me suggests that something began failing (initial shuddering experienced) and rapidly deteriorated (slipping/loss of power). Fluid condition alone wouldn't cause the sudden escalation of problems - though it might have been the cause of the deterioration up to the point of failure.

      AWD conversion to Z71

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Stabilitrack operation is in a sense a separate/independent operation from the operation of 'traction control'. Stabilitrack is used to keep the vehicle traveling in the DIRECTION intended, it can brake independent wheels and or adjust throttle to influence the direction the vehicle is moving.   This can be illustrated by a 'fish-tailing' example. At high speeds, if the stabilitrack detects excessive yaw (the vehicle spinning like a top, it has a sensor for this), based on inputs from steering angle it determines that the vehicle is spinning out of control, and begins working to control that unintended spin. By reducing throttle input or braking specific wheels to control or prevent the spin.   The traction control works similarly using the ABS system to slow spinning wheels and thus transfer power to 'other' wheels. The goal being to achieve wheel speeds that are all in agreement with each other, the truck then assumes that since all the wheels speeds are the same no spinning is occurring. For example, launching up a wet boat ramp, there is no excessive yaw present, traction control alone can manage the wheel spin by braking spinning wheels and cutting throttle.   Stabilitrack and traction control from a hardware and software standpoint are basically one in the same, I don't remember specifically in 2004, but you couldn't get a truck with one and not the other. The switch on the dash, could turn off the traction control, but not necessarily the stabilitrack.    A confusing comment about stabilitrack vs. traction control, the same components serve both operations, but marketing could advertise them as two separate features.    The AWD system is another separate system entirely, in addition to the other two, it uses the same wheel speed inputs but can also vary the transfer case clutch application to direct some power to the front axle, working in conjunction with the traction control to bring wheel speeds together.   The power split will never be greater than 50:50, the same as 4-high. It will never direct MORE power to the front axle than the rear.

      Start-Stop ?

      Not based on the new photos I'm seeing.  Car and Driver posted additional photos that shows an auto stop start button left of the steering wheel.

      2027 Chevrolet Silverado: Official Discussion

      By tjonesdfw · Posted

      Car and Driver is reporting wireless CarPlay WILL remain, and they posted several additional photos, including a left knee shot, but the only hard buttons there are e-brake, auto start stop, tailgate and cargo light.  Also definitely looks like High Country and ZR2 get micro fiber on the center of the console lid and the ZR2 possibly also on the seats.
