2003 Silverado SS: $14,000 OBO
https://ebayvehicle.com/app/yCjNEvmk6mAALng39
I added a link to the Ebay listing so you can see the pictures, it wont let me upload them here for some reason and truck does not have to be purchased through Ebay.
Located in Gaffney South Carolina
clean dependable truck. 150,000 original miles. Truck has not been heavily modified and no mechanical issues as I drive it daily. Has some paint fading on the hood, roof and passenger side door but that's to be expected of a 17 year old truck. Oil pressure sensor is bad so oil pressure gauge fluctuates.
Full leather interior, heated seats, kenwood touch screen radio.
Has a viper remote start and security system, kooks custom headers and mid pipes into true dual exhaust into a magnaflow muffler to give a nice deep exhaust note without being too loud to drive daily. Was also street tuned by hawks motorsports who installed the exhaust so no error codes or lights are thrown as a result. Transfer case and carrier bearings in both differentials were replaced within the last year. Price is or best reasonable offer and miles will increase as I drive it daily. -
My first question is are you sure it's you t-case? The front diff on these things can whine as well. But if it is your t-case, like Aldofashow said parts are around 600 however you should throw in a sonnax case saver kit. Technical wise it's not that bad to do if you have common shop tools and a good stiff pair of lock ring pliers. I used a MAC tools pair and they worked great. Otherwise getting the lock ring out can piss you off. These cases are chain driven so the whining kinda makes me wonder. There is a test you can do to check the fluid coupler in it. It is online and in this site. But if you pull the driveshafts and check play and all that, if it seems ok do the coupler test. Have you checked the fluid? What does it look like? Just a few things to consider. They hold up pretty good normally. But anything is possible in a mechanical world. I did mine at 120k and all it needed was bushings, chains, replaced the pump anyway, case saver kit and a set of chain gears and bearings.
Yeah, it's the t case, I already had the front diff rebuilt, fluid looks good in it, I changed it as soon as I bought the truck. Coincidentally my truck has about 125k on it as well

Im surprised its usually always cheaper to rebuild vs replace. Did you totally gernade your t-case? If you go new its actually rebuilt also as they dont make new ones anymore. If I recall the GM transfer case have a 3yr warranty and have a $200 rebate. If you rebuild locally you can buy parts and upgrade the weak spots of the case. The thing they are most nortorious for is wearing a pin hole in case. I think In the aftermarket they make a kit to eleminate the issue. I have a RWD truck as I didnt want to have to deal with all the t-case issues..... lol.
No I'm actually still driving it lol, its started whining and is progressively getting louder. I took it to the shop and let them look at it and he said itd cost more parts and labor to rebuild it than it would to just replace it. I've never had anything awd, I came from f bodies so I know very little about these things. Honestly the cost isnt my biggest concern, I just want to get it right and have something that can handle some more power
Also any links you guys can find on rebuild kits or parts to beef it up would be great.
-
Well I'm in a position where I have to pay someone to do it either way, so is the factory transfer case just the best way to go? Also mine is an 03, I've seen np149 and nvg149, does it matter which one I get?
-
So I need to replace my transfer case. I was td itd cost more to have it rebuilt than to just buy a new one and swap them out. What transfer case do I need and are there any out there that are stronger than what came in it from the factory? Right now I only have a cai and full exhaust but plan on adding more later down the road. Heads, cam and either nitrous or pro charger. Thanks in advance.

Ill snag a pick of my cooler and post it here with my phone for you. Install is easy. As far a s a converter goes, that all depends on the type of cam and heads you run, you go with too big of a stall and you can hurt performance. there is a loose style converter, and a tight style converter. The loose converter will act like a manual car slipping the clutch as it will spin and you will hear the truck and it will then start moving. it has alot of rotating mass before you get going, then you build heat. A tight converter doesnt spin as much and you wont have to wait to for the converter to reach the stall point.
Well I was planning to get a 228r 112lsa cam with a set of precision engineering stage 1 heads. They sell both of those as a head cam package from Texas speed. And I was looking at the yank ss series converter. Just not sure on what stall speed to go with, I was thinking 2800 or 3200 just not sure what would be best
-
What transmission came in an 03 Silverado ss from the factory? I've heard 4l60e and 4l65e and don't know which is true? Planning on buying one from finish line here in the future and want to make sure I get the correct one for a direct replacement
-
About the most I ever two is a small trailer with a lawn mower, mulch, stuff like that. And that's about once or twice a year for my grandpa
-
So this then?
Also how was the fitment? How much modification is needed to make this work?
-
Just did the trucool 40k cooler on the SS.. makes a HUGE difference on tranny temperatures.. one of the best mods Ive done to the truck...
You have a part number for which one I need to get?
-
Well right now it just has the headers and mid pipes, planning on heads and cam after I get the transmission lines out. What kind of stall do you think would be best for those mods? Also who to go to when I plan on getting it as well as the trans cooker. I'm not familiar with many places that make stuff for these trucks so any recommendations on where to buy would help greatly.
-
Havent been able to run it with the headers installed due to the weather around here. Tracks havent been open because of the constant rain. Also havent had ot tuned yet. Going Tuesday for the tune and will hopefully get to go to the track the following Thursday weather permitting
-
So I'm starting to save towards one of FLT's level 5 4l65e's and was wondering what you guys think would be a good converter to go along with it. Thinking of a 2800 or 3k stall, just not sure who makes good ones for these trucks. Thanks in advance
-
How is it for daily driving? And what heads pair up well with it?
-
Had long tubes and mid pipes installed on my 03 ss and when I get on the throttle it seems like I have more noise coming from the front, ie engine compartment/under the cab than what I've normally heard when doing headers on other vehicles. Is this normal or should I be looking for leaks?
-
So I wanna get a decent set of heads and a cam to wake the truck up a bit. Need something thatll pick up some power but still be tame enough for a daily driver. Truck currently has a CAI and a set of kooks long tubes and mid pipes. Other than that its stock. Any and all help would be great. Thanks
-
Alright so I had headers and mid pipes installed and wanted to get it dyno tuned but I've hit a snag. No where around here has an awd dyno. The few that do are for imports and are too small for the wheel base of the truck. I've had a few places say they could unhook the front drive shaft and dyno it in 2wd that way but I'm a little hesitant. I wanted to see if anyone has done this before and how did it work out for you? Any issues? Any concerns about damaging the truck by doing this? Should I go this route or find an alternative method to tune it? Thanks in advance
-
I have an 03 ss, just installed headers and mid pipes, looking for recommendations on a good x pipe to finish out the exhaust.
-
Motor is all stock now. Getting headers installed Thursday. I should've asked heads and cam because I'd definitely do both at the same time
-
Curious as to what heads are good for these trucks to pick up some power. It's a daily driver that I plan to take to the track occasionally just to have some fun. Big plans later down the road but just wanting to see what you guys would reccomend. I'm new to these trucks
-
So its probably a long shot considering how slow things are around here but is there anyone around near upstate SC? Its be cool if we could bring this place back to life. Maybe have some meet ups at the strip? Theres one really close to me I just started going to again after not having been in years. Just bought my first SS back in December. Took it out to see what it would do stock. Taking it to have headers and a tune this Thursday sp hoping to improve my time with that. Anyway, if anyone is near here speak up and let's take these trucks out and give some of these cars a run for their money
-
I just bought my first ss back in December. Went looking for info on it because I had never dealt with them before and stumbled across this forum. Was really sad when I saw how old the posts were. But I'm glad there are some people still around. Gonna be hanging on to this truck for a long time hopefully.
-
Thanks boss. No clue what to expect but I'll take any improvement I can get
