  4. Wind noise fix for rear windows on our trucks found on Ebay.

    in General SS

    Posted

    On these extended cab trucks, the noise mainly occurs on the passenger side window in the rear door. As I recall from prior reading, it was a poor design, made worse by a bad assembly process. I bought a set of these latches. It helped a bit on my truck. On some, it eliminates the noise all together. For the price (not too bad, right?), give it a try if you have the issue. It might fix it.

    Hank sucks you wont be there. Who will i get my car knowledge from??

     

    I have a good reason for not being there, at least. I will be attending a family reunion where we'll be celebrating my "aunt's" (really a cousin) 90th birthday. I haven't seen them all for a few years, so it will be really nice. Jackie will be meeting them for the first time. They are a great bunch too, like all of you! :)

  13. DEI SS #933

    Just looked it up, because 933 sounded familiar... according to what I found... "Of the 1,333 scheduled trucks, only 933 were made." If it's legit, 25K could be a bargain, with only 20,000 miles (if it's not been beat on).

     

    Edit: If he's the original owner, he should have the certificate that came with those trucks.

     

    Here is the full text of what I found:

     

    "In 2006, Chevrolet released a special edition Silverado SS under the name "Intimidator SS" (licensed by Dale Earnhardt Inc.) to honor the late Dale Earnhardt. The truck came with several minor appearance upgrades (rear spoiler, embroidered headrests, intimidator custom badging ), a lowered ride height, performance suspension, two-stage multi-leaf springs, Tenneco shock absorbers, a stiffer front stabilizer bar and harder front jounce bumpers. This is a Collectors Edition truck. Of the 1,333 scheduled trucks, only 933 were made. These trucks were only available in Black Onyx exterior but could be ordered with cloth or leather interior."

  18. So I rented a vett and took it to the strip

    Nice times, Tony. I have the 3.42 rear in mine, but I haven't tracked it yet. Mine also has the launch control, if you choose to use it. I'm curious how that would affect times. I've heard that a competent driver is faster without it.

     

    Edit: Also, since I have a 6-speed manual Grand Sport, the gearing in the trans is a bit lower in 1st and 2nd than the base manual, giving a bit more off the line.

  23. How many of you have....

    When I sold the SS, I got a 2011 Sierra Denali (1500). Mine is AWD, I have never seen a 2WD model on a dealer lot (not to say they don't exist, though). The 6.2 with the 6-speed automatic is awesome. Stock, it's faster than my SS with a tune and minor bolt-ons. The only thing I have done to it so far is to put on a Corsa exhaust. Stock was just too quiet. It is a great truck.

     

    That all said, and you can ask just about anyone who has sold theirs, there was something about the SS that was unique. They catch your eye, they're not common. Something special. I like the Denali; I loved the SS.
