i recently bought a 2000 silverado z71 with the 4.8L in it. i like it a lot (its only my second car) but i can't figure out EXACTLY what the z71 suspension includes (i know of the skid plates, the slightly raised and tuned suspension/springs) but specifically, i'm not sure of the diff ratio and whether its locking/limited slip of what!? can someone help me? i'm thinking about doing some light duty off roading and would like some input. thanks

i didn't realize you could get a 4.8L Z71.

 

For diff and ratio, look at your build sticker on the inside of the glovebox door:

 

if it has G80 on it, you have the factory locker

 

for gears:

 

GT4 = 3.73

GT5 = 4.10

i *think* GU3 = 3.42 could be wrong on that one though

Z-71 off-road suspension includes 46mm shock absorbers; off-road jounce bouncers and stablizer bars; skid plate package; high-capacity air cleaner and Z-71 decals. Look at the sticker, in the glove box, for rear axle codes. GT4= 3.73, GT5= 4.10, G80=Locking differential.

For 2000 the Z71 package consisted of...different shocks,different jounce bumpers,high-capacity air cleaner,skid plates and of course the "Z71" decals.

 

Also,You can get the Z71 with the 4.8,I had a '99 that way.

 

RPO "GU6" is 3.42.

You were quicker on the "enter" button than me!!!

However one correction on your list....The stabilizer bar is the same no matter what suspension package the truck has.

Z71's have the same ride height as the other 4x4 models.

The rear-end is a 8.625" 10-Bolt w/6x5.5 bolt pattern,like Griffin said.

I also see the reason why you have the 4.8,Your truck is a 5-spd. manual,The 5.3 was not available with the 5 spd. tranny.

You also do not have the locking rear differential (RPO "G80")

Heres all the info. I could get,Looks like just the recall items were done,Must be a pretty darn good truck!!!......

Z71's have the same ride height as the other 4x4 models.

 

I noticed the ass end of my Z85 sits a bit higher than a Z71. Probably why my bed bounces more.

      No, not yet. Hoping I'll have something a little more definitive in the next day or 2. They seemed to be very confident they can order it. I do have some understanding of the whole allocations and restraints stuff so we'll see.   I think this is what I'm looking for.   3000 ORDER ACCEPTED BY PRODUCTION CONTROL

      Then you haven't read your book. It also says check every 400 miles.   If you need to add multiple quarts in that distance then reading the stick isn't the issue. Put the two together and it will make sense. Read it all.

      Weird drivability problem

      By CNH-320 · Posted

      Following up on my topic, I put an O2 sensor in it which seems to have got rid of all the b2s1 codes (I ended up having multiple codes). Next I’ll try to figure out the P0011 but I might focus on exhaust manifolds first, they’re getting pretty rusty. I’m hoping this thread will help someone in the future.

      My expectations are a bit higher.    No faded paint or dry rotted plastic/rubber. I use a dressing and a ceramic sealant. No hazy headlights.  No door dings. Small dent in the front bumper. All rock chips repaired. No brush scratches. No windshield chips. No fender benders. Limit damage due to a proactive plan the included ceramics and PPF and prompt attention to any exterior issue. NO RUST. Stays out of the salt and had the rear wheel wells Line-X coated as well as the bed which has a bed rubber and has been under cover since before I bought it. Washed and detailed regularly. Rex chewed up the tow button, got whacked and the button replaced the same week. He's leaned his lesson. If I can train a dog the kids are easier.    All suspension is original save the King Shocks I installed very early on. 50 years ago dad told me a good shock will keep the screws in the dash tight and the front end mint. He was right. Everything within new spec yet, tight and aligned well several times. Coolant system is OEM save the modifications I made early on. Not a single leak anywhere on this machine. (Did repair an intake leak on #4 during the HPFP replacement.) The injectors I replaced didn't need to be. They checked out great. One of those, while I'm in there with the manifold off and the fuel rail apart things.  Not a stain or abrasion one to the upholstery. Have kept is covered since new. Never had a carpet, it's a work truck but the carpet squared I laid on the floor have keep the factory rubber liner MINT. Ceramic wind tint helps preserve the interior.    Original BRAKES with 60%+ left of the pads and rotors mic excellent. We just did a full preventative brake service. Disassembly, clean inspect including measurements, lube, Dot 4 power flush including ABS system.    OEM battery. OEM vacuum pump. In fact the only things not OEM are a pinion seal the high side pump and injectors and a small plastic shield around the starter. All hoses/belts etc.. are still in service and doing well. Original tires lasted 125K and had I known some additional details would have made it to 150K with legal tread. (Date out is six years, not 5 and Continental says they are good for 10 so I pulled the trigger to early)   I never let my children or grandchildren run the show. Feet on the floor and hands in your lap. Dog gets a pass.    A truck is a machine the gives you back whatever your willing to put into it. Same as a computer or a butter knife. I use a shovel but I scrap it, hose it off and oil it when I'm done with it. My original spade I've had 60 years.      Set the bar higher...you spend less money. No, before you ask, I have spent a fraction of the cost of a new truck in my entire maintenance program including disposables, filters/fluids etc.
