So in looking at replacement trucks for my '98 rcsb ... I do get a little excited about the SS Silverado's
Specifically 6.0 liters, and AWD (winter "capable" needed here in UT) Has anyone owned one or have any experiences ? I heard they don't get to good of mileage, but that's not too huge of a concern, as I don't put too many miles on my truck. Any input appreciated (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) (IMG:http://x-img.autorevo.com/2005-chevrolet-silverado-ss-indio-ca-6090201/1619797-1-bigger.jpg) ~DaVe |

This era of GM LS truck is notorious for overzealous torque management in the ECM. Heh, yep! You catch yourself 'leaning forward' a bit in anticipation of accelerating off a stop, when the truck doesn't roll out as you'd expect it. It's a weird, but definite feeling. Luckily, most of that can be tuned out, which makes for a MUCH more fun vehicle!! This era of GM LS truck is notorious for overzealous torque management in the ECM. It's drive by wire so they just minimize the available throttle opening. You just can't have full throttle, or not quickly. So it sounds like the torque management could easily be tuned out with HP Tuners ? ..> I don't want to blow up AWD transfer cases or the 4L65E, BUT it would be nice for the the 6.0 to move "a little" ? ~DaVe |
