dwalk Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 The RWD's actually have a 4l65e. I don't know how but all over the internet it says they have a 4l85e. It would be nice if you could pick up an 85 just cuz they sure can take a beating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f1ss Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 the AWD had 4:10 front and rear the RWD has 3:73 (correct me if im wrong guys) the transmission in the AWD is a 4L60e the RWD not sure maybe a 4L80e. Just like stated all SS' came factory with the 4L65e. The big dogs have upgraded to the 4L80e tranny which is costly. The paddle shift corvette 4L85e would be something interesting:peelout: the ss comes from the factory with a body kit or some guys call it cladding Yup, right after Oshawa the Silverado trucks were then taking by train to another shop for the cladding, badging and all SS related stuff that seperates it from the other Silverado's. I also believe this is the only Super Sport Chevy has made that had a 2nd party do the SS work, someone please correct me if I am wrong but I remember reading about that on here like 5 years back.

Bad Bowtie Posted April 6, 2012 Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 if you are relating to all chevys? the SS work on the camaro from 97-02 was done by a 2nd party. they came off the line half complete and were sent to SLP. You nailed it. I remember when my parents bought their '96 Impala SS new. They wanted to add (same year Camaro SS badges to it). We had to provide an actual Camaro SS VIN# with the correct colored "SS"'s just to even order/get them from SLP!!! The GM dealer couldn't even order them!! CRAZY back then....

Tylur06SS Posted April 6, 2012 Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 your best bet to get cladding is to get it from one of the guys on here or search craigslist. you cant really get it from the dealership anymore and if you can it would cost more than what you have in your truck. keep checking the for sale forum and make sure you have your paypal ready! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f1ss Posted April 6, 2012 Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 chawkins their is a member selling a complete cladding kit that is onyx black colored in the f/s section. Brackets and everything for $850, except the bumper.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chawkins6789 Posted April 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 850 is a bit steep at the moment.. and what are brackets needed for? i figured the cladding just stuck on wit some 3M automotive tape like most other trim and emblems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
