I am certain I saw a commercial for a Silverado VHO this weekend. I thought it was a local dealer option but it was a Chevrolet ad. It said it had 345hp and more torque than a Dodge Ram Hemi. Did I just dream this up or what? I can't find any info on a VHO anywhere on the internet. Chevrolet has no news on 2005's yet on their website. Please tell me this is true.

Yep. I saw it too. It was a blue extended cab with chrome wheels - it almost looked like the current SS models do.

 

What is "VHO?"

Silveado VHO stands for "Vortec High Output". This is Chevy's version of the GMC 6.0L option. These are not available everywhere in the US. Just TX, LA, OK, AK.

 

These trucks are Silverado / Sierra 1500s with 20'' wheels (not the ones from the SS) and the 6.0L Vortec. These are basically 2WD SSs. There are other posts on the baord about these trucks.

They must be trickling out of the states you mentioned because my local chevy store had one here in MO.

:D

Well as far as that goes, I'm not positive. I know this was the case for the GMC, not sure about the VHO.

This sounds like what I just bought - it has the 5.3 and there were others with different options, no 6.0L though. They all came with 20" rims and a "high performance suspension package" I can't find anywhere whats different from a base model though. Here's a pic:

Yup...5.3L I believe the Silverados only get the 5.3L, and tis the GMCs who can get the 6.0L. I'm kinda confused myself now :D

Nope.. you can get the 6.0L in BOTH Chevy (LS/LT) & GMC (SLE/SLT) extended cabs. Rumor has it...they will be available nationwide come early winter.

      My brother has an Escalade. The warranty has expired so he told his wife to go to the Valvoline quick lube he uses some times. They told her if her car was a 2020 and newer 6.2 engine they wouldn’t touch it. Hers is a 2019, so they did the oil change.

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      The oil filter has NOTHING To do with oil leak. GM sources parts from 1,000's of vendors and as with anything mass produced, flaws are unavoidable.    Putting a larger oil filter will do nothing but satisfy emotions. The OEM filter is designed for the engine and perfectly capable of handling the demands on the engine. Oversize oil filter could result in reduced flow and overall lower oil pressure.

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
