DJ Joey Unity Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 Well today i go pick up my new black Silverado SS truck. i originally put a deposit down on a Dodge Ram1500 Laramie with the Hemi but after the dealership screwed me over big time i decided to go with the SS. i really didn’t think i could afford it at this time but got pretty hooked up from my friend that sells at the dealership. I currently own a Chevy S-10 Extreme that but have out grown it so its getting traded in for the SS. In any case i will be on the board regularly as i start the mods on this truck. Any suggestions about the SS i should know about or be prepared for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Megashifter Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 Be glad you didn't buy the hemi Ram... they're pigs. From what I've discovered... most of the owners are too. "I've got a Hemi!" Yeah... well I've got more cubes... 2000 lbs lighter 'n put more ponies to the rear wheels than you've got at the crank. (Dakota R/T hot rod) 'Least ya didn't buy a Ferd! Good luck with your new SS!

ssjonathan Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 Welcome to the site, really nothing that you should prepare for except a very smooth ride with great acceleration for a big truck. It is nice to have a truck thats fast as well as convenient!!!! The only problems that have been noted on here are simple things such as lubing the intermediate steering shaft, (sometimes they don't get lubed well enough from the factory and the steering will bump when you turn at low speeds), and a reall on the tailgate straps. I think they fixed this for 05.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ Joey Unity Posted March 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 Any suggestions about the SS i should know about or be prepared for? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> .........EMPTY POCKETS and BANK ACCOUNT......... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> yea i was sorta prepared for that part. i just cant seem to ever leave my rides alone. my first was a Mazbe B2200 (show truck) that i Air Bagged and dropped 8 inches along with a whole crapload of other mods. On my S-10 Extreme i dropped it 2/3 and some minor exterior mods. i can see myself going nuts on this truck. i already have plans to mod the exaust, ride height, change the hood, hard cover for the bed and a couple other little things. so as of now the outlook on my account is hurtin for certain.

BOB47 Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 Welcome to the site. Enjoy. Good choice of colors!! One thing to watch out for on the black SS's is wrinkled hands from having to wash the damn thing so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
