In May 2007 longtime Ford tuning house Roush Performance Products broke twelve years of tradition by announcing it would expand its armory of high performance components to include options for General Motors cars and trucks. Today, spies caught the first ever glimpse at the Roush Chevrolet Silverado.

 

This this ROUSHcharged Chevrolet Silverado features both performance and appearance upgrades. ROUSH charger labels on the sides of the hood’s power dome are almost certainly confirmation it has the long-awaited Roush blower mounted on the engine. Sources indicate power will come from a 6.0-liter Vortec MAX V8 that’s factory rated at 367 horsepower and 375 pound-feet but will hit 500 hp and 500 pound-feet with the Roush unit.

 

The truck also has at least one other significant hardware change - dual exhausts out the back.

 

More details are expected in the near future.

Not much difference in the looks department. Different lower bumper plastic, painted grille and tailgate handle... Oh, and some tupperware on the hood. Let's hope the performance numbers are more interesting.

I just wish some one would make a RCSB perf. truck. :lol:

I agree. I get tired of "supposed" performance Excabs and Crewcabs...

These have been out for a while.

As you'll see, that bumper is an accessory anyone can get from Chevrolet already.

Yeah, I spelled Roush wrong when doing the search to see if there were any threads about this. My bad - sorry!

 

 

Not a big deal at all. I was just pointing out that there was information out there about these already. :dunno:

I'd Rather have the 427 Concept Slverado personally. Theres nothing specaial about the Roush Silverado except for the supercharger and some ugly plastic...in my opinion. Here is a well-put-together concept.

Are the rear fenders flattened out, or is it just a figment of my imagination? Just something else that doesn't look right.

I don't believe they are, it's just the lighting.

A little off topic but does anyone know the Pn# for the bumper I hit a small coyote and messed up my front bumper. I have an 07 silverado wt package if that makes any difference. Thanks for the input

 

Plus the 427 sounds mean on the youtube clip but since it is in a parking garage I would love to hear that on the open road. Still a good looking truck I might say, love the color.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By newdude · Posted

      This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By newdude · Posted

      2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By newdude · Posted

      Probably not their first rodeo, so it should go as planned most likely.  Typically the service manager or tech doing the swap will put some seat time to shake it down after they get it all put back together.  We usually put 50-100mi before we hand them back so if something happens, its not after you get it.  A coolant leaks, oil leaks, a ground left off or loose, vibration, etc.     The new engines so far have been good?  There's been a couple that have popped out there again (the replacement engine) but most have been okay.
