04CHASE Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 same engine , the SS has different gearing if its an awd but that about it besides cladding and a few minor things! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 they are the same engine. there are other differences in the truck itself, but the engine is the same. there is a difference in the programming though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zippy Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 same hp. slight difference in the torque management as well as a different speed limiter. not enough to be a big difference. either way, nobody in their right mind sticks with the stock programming.

BenKey Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 Only real diff in the motors is the house it lives in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jethro_3 Posted October 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 Torque management due to the AWD vs 2wd ... correct? Speed limiter, I thought all Chevy trucks topped out at 98????? The house it lives in...... fully clad AWD with advertisement badges.. Sleeper 2wd and no badges for $10K less .... OK, make me drive it!!!! Have a person telling me adimatly that the VHO has less compression and less horsepower..... Fact or Fiction? If the engine parts on the LQ9 in the SS and VHO are the same then the compression has to be the same for both trucks correct???? The lower compression 6 liter is called a LQ4 correct? Sorry I seem to be asking ignorent questions but I want this person to be enlightend as well as educate me. Thanks..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misterp Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 Speed limiter, I thought all Chevy trucks topped out at 98?????LQ9 equipped trucks also come with more capable tires/suspensions, so governor is 108mph.Have a person telling me adimatly that the VHO has less compression and less horsepower..... Fact or Fiction?They are misinformed; there are two 6.0l engines, the LQ9 is the high compression (345hp) and the LQ4 is the low compression one (325hp); other than piston dish volume the two engines are identical to the last bolt.If the engine parts on the LQ9 in the SS and VHO are the same then the compression has to be the same for both trucks correct????Correctamundo....but I want this person to be enlightend as well as educate me. Nothing to be sorry for - you're in the right place with the right people. Hope to meet up with you in the near future, since we are only a couple hours apart. I *miss* Austin! Mr. P.

Hmm serious thought here, wonder if the Goodmark hoods have the same problem... Mr. P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make it like the first weekend in November so it's not to close to Thanksgiving? Why not Austin, it's a little more central? If we can get some interest I will set things up!!!!
