Goodbye Titan, hello Z-71

[bclemms]

Hi all, Just bought a 2006 Z-71 and traded in my 2004 Nissan Titan XE. I will miss the Titan but love my new truck. The Titan had much better performance, handled better and IMO looked better but I couldn't keep it out of the shop. I had 2k left on the powertrain warranty and was having major transmission problems, radiator was leaking, paint was chipping, seats were fraying, had a bad ground that nobody could find and many other minor issues so it had to go. I got the LT3 package with leather on a white ex cab. I got white because they didn't have too many colors to choose from. I have had the truck for 24 hours and eventhough I'm dissapointed in the power and handling it is nothing that can't be fixed with mods . I look forward to picking all the brains here until I become somewhat helpful and gain some knowledge about the truck.

IF you don't like the performance GET the Nelson's tune.

 

AMAZING power improvement!

Wow...guess those foreign jobs really arent worth it.

 

By chance, how many miles did this pickup have?

Welcome

If you wanted performance you shoulda' looked at one with the "VortecMax" package.

My buddy is in the process of buying one now,you wouldn't believe the power!!
