Maximus Posted May 22, 2005 Report Share Posted May 22, 2005 Just another nail in the SS coffin. I mean one starts to say why even spend the money for an SS when you can still have all of the goodies for a fraction of the cost!! You can even go faster !!!!!!

2drTahoe Posted May 22, 2005 Report Share Posted May 22, 2005 To me, a couple grand more will get you the look and AWD. To me the body kit and the AWD is what makes the SS unique. Oops.. AWD is going away, well it's still got the look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 4L80? or the 4L65? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 4L80? or the 4L65? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> My guess is a 4L65E with different valve body; the RPO naming convention does not follow the 4L80E product line anyway. The M32 is the same 4L65E being put in SS trucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdg Posted May 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2005 "electronic Autotrac" I thought this was a 4WD option? Justin <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The 2 trucks available are the CK15753 which is the 4WD extended cab and the CK15543 which is the new 4WD crew cab short box.

02silverado48 Posted May 22, 2005 Report Share Posted May 22, 2005 i think the m70 is the 4l70e that is going in the trailblazer ss but im not sure what makes it different from the 4l60 or the 4l65 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBass Posted May 22, 2005 Report Share Posted May 22, 2005 i think the m70 is the 4l70e that is going in the trailblazer ss but im not sure what makes it different from the 4l60 or the 4l65 <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Info supplied by GM Backing the 6.0L V-8 is a new Hydra-Matic 4L70-E electronically controlled four-speed automatic transmission. It debuts in the TrailBlazer SS and was developed to handle the high horsepower and high torque loads of performance-oriented light-duty vehicles. Special high-strength and heat-treated materials are used throughout the 4L70-E to ensure it delivers smooth, dependable shifting. Gear ratios (:1): First: 3.06 Second: 1.62 Third: 1.00 Fourth: 0.69 Reverse: 2.29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan06SS Posted May 22, 2005 Report Share Posted May 22, 2005 My question about the M70 (attention zippy) is if it can mate to an AWD LS2 powered T'Blazer.... could/would/should we be looking at using these on our truck in place of the 4l80E? Seems to me it has all the right characteristics to be a direct bolt in item... not as strong as the 80... but probably much stronger than the 4l65e. I'm not a tranny expert by any strectch, but it seems like it might work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
