DSSTRBD Posted June 18, 2011 Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 Hello everyone.... Im a defense contractor working in Iraq.. looking to buy a SS when I get back to the States in a month or so. Is it possible to find a good quality SS for around 13-16 grand? Any known problems to look out for when buying? Which is the preferred year of SS to buy? Im looking to use this truck to tow my 95 Impala SS drag and show car. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. 2003-2004 had black, red and blue trucks all awd. 2005 had silver birch replace the arrival blue. early 2005s are awd, later 05s are rwd. Trannys can cause a problem along with the front diff. Best year is according to what you would like, awd or rwd. The hood on the 05s+ have the powerdome hood, e-fans (2003-04 have belt driven ones) and a 145 alternator. Looks like you would want an 05 awd with the 145 alternator and E-fans. I have alot of family in Nebraska, hope to make it out their someday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSSTRBD Posted June 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 Cool, thanks for the info Mass, I definitely want an AWD model. What are the problems with the trannys then? Do they go out after 100K? Do the SS's use the 4L80E? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
