  1. What is the part number on that? I just caled my chevy dealer and he says he can't get it? wtf?

     

    So do you know for sure it fits right on to 06 SS setup?

     

    Hrm... just sent this out the door, can't look at the part number on it. I picked this up on eBay through some dealer a couple years back. I had it on my 2006 SS up until I sold the truck two weeks ago. Looks great! Hope you find one.

  2. iSimple iPod / iPhone Adapter ISGM575 GM5 SOLD. Had this installed in my SS for less than 30 days... worked perfectly! Includes all documentation, cables, etc. Has cable for direct iPod / iPhone interface and control from the factory deck, as well as a second cable with RCA and stereo jack inputs. Charged and controlled both my old iPod Photo, iPhone 3G and iPhone 4.

     

    SOLD. Thanks!

  4. All, I spent several days combing through the forums looking for info on the fit of the Nitto NT 420S (305/50R-20) tires on Stock SS wheels. Finally picked up a set, and just got back from the tire shop. Yes, I KNOW the truck is dirty and needs attention bad, but figured I'd get these pics up to help should anyone else be looking for images. I'd read several times about 'bulging' sidewalls, and the tire protruding from the fender well by as much as a quarter inch, but I don't feel like I have either of these issues. If I do, then they don't bother me... Truck drives solid, straight. It's been raining today, so I haven't lit them up just yet to get my own feel on traction. Anyway, on to the photographic evidence for others to make their own assessments:

  5. this is off topic but ur from round rock? no shit.... i grew up and my parents still live there. where at man? and are u talking about torsion bar keys? if so u dont have them on rwd. are u trying to lower the back end of the truck or the front??

     

     

    Hey! Nice to see someone on here from around town! I'm up north, off 1431. Used to live off of Sam Bass, south of Hairy Man Road. Do you ever get back into town? Where abouts are you from here in Round Rock?

     

     

    Yup, talking about Torsion Bar Keys. And by no means, am I the expert, but as far as I know, all SS's have torsion bar suspension for the front end.

     

    Currently I'm riding on 2" shackles in the rear and a slight decrank in the front to keep her level. I'm planning to pick up some 3" Belltech springs for the rear and thinking of getting some drop keys for the front for now. Later on, I'll likely pick up some Belltech spindles to end up with a 'proper' 3/4 drop.

  6. I've got a 2006 RWD SS.

     

     

    I'm interested in determining the difference between the Belltech Keys and the GM "HD2500" Purple keys, but first, I'd really like to confirm my truck has the Green keys from the factory... I climbed under there, but of course, they're so surface rusted, I cannot tell what their original paint demarcation was.

     

    So, do all RWD SS's have the green keys from the factory?

     

    Does anyone have a comparison of the Belltech vs. the GM Purple Keys?

     

    Is there any worth to going with the Belltech over the Purples?

     

     

    Thanks all!

  7. Big thanks to Punisher. I purchased the set of Head and Parking Light assemblies he was offering for sale. Punisher was incredibly timely in responding to PMs regarding the set and the transaction. Punisher also shipped the set as quickly as possible and the items were packed very securely to assure no shipping damage. Thanks again, Punisher! I'd recommend anyone do business with this great guy. :cheers:

  8. I chose the Gaylord X200 Speedsturr. It fits over the factory spoiler perfectly. It comes with carpeted underside, a remote, and a light. I ordered it through a local truck accesory place and I think the cover with shipping and installation was about $1400. Pricey, but it's one of the best covers and I knew I'd only buy it once.

    Did you buy the version with the "lip" or without to fit over the factory tailgate spoiler? Thanks!

  9. One thing I've noticed with my 06 SS, it never changes in the reading. 14.4 mpg. All the time.

    Doesn't matter how it's driven... racing a vett or driving 40mph down the street or highway miles.

    Anybody notice this? Nothing's been changed on this truck. It did go from 14.3 to 14.4 and that's the

    only change on the average fuel economy. The only thing I can think of is the computer is off,

    or that what I get for mpg. I have never realized 19mpg at 55mph.

     

    Thanks njr

     

     

    As I understand it, the 06 provides average fuel economy, not instant. If you were to reset the average, you'd see instant results for a short while. The longer you run the average, the less it will change. I'm not sure mathematically (after so many miles) when to tell you to reset it for it to be more accurate on average. I reset mine on a long trip or on every other fill up or so. Usually keeps it close to calculating the average manually (gallons used vs. miles traveled).
