2003 Silverado SS AWD converted to 05 (bigger front brakes and electric fans), K&N intake, Dynatech long tubes with offroad pipes, will include a Dell Laptop and a registered V2, I am the 3rd owner, the 2nd owner only had the truck for 6 months because he found a newer Sss and sold this one. oil always changed, Flowmaster series 40's, one has a small pinhole which I'm gonna have fixed this week with a spot weld. Back Flip bed cover, Alpine double Din screen with iPod, Bluetooth and steering wheel controls. Black on gray with tinted glass. Body is ok, scratches here and there, I was gonna "murder it out" but never did, drivers seat has the usual tear on the side, easy fix. Got a kid due in June and looking to sell the truck before. I also have a 05' LQ4 short block with L92 intake on a stand I was going to have done for the truck, but never had the $ to do. $14,500.00

By your pics your truck looks perfect for a "stock" suspension. Maybe your cover does squash that back down a little? maybe your last owner did remove a leaf? You figure our trucks are "half tons" so 1,000 lbs in the bed, what do you think that cover weighs? I have a "Back Flip" cover on mine, they are light though, maybe 50-60 pounds. I also notice most drops are a 2-4 giving a level stance. seeing my front fender gap now, I might do a spindle and hanger 2-4 drop in the spring.

I had to jump in this thread, had this issue last week. I had my Sss for a little over a year, it always rode a little like poop, but I figured it was the 95k on it. The other week I was changing the oil and realized the front suspension was riding ON the bump stops, the drivers side was actually cracked. I measured from the bottom of my rims to the fender lips and realized the truck was raked almost a inch lower in the front and had a slight drivers lean. I crawled under the truck to find the torsion bar bolts were backed out and the drivers side was about 1/4 to 1/8" further than the passenger side. I jacked the truck up, PB blasted the bolts and tightened then so the tops of the bolts were flush with the crossmember evenly. now after a 15 min ride the truck is level (same distance from the bottom of the rim to fender all around) and the truck rides a million times better. So... check your bump stops in the front, you could of had a budget lowering job like me, mine have about 1/4-1/2" of space now that gives the truck a real nice ride. Now all I need is an alignment

Englishtown 4/29/2011, Anyone From Here There?

It looks like something went wrong with the truck, he ran a 07 on the tree but after the 60' mark he coasted the rest of the track. 28 seconds 25 mph. -

Yea, sorry, it was the link to my buddies Facebook video. I'll see if he can youtube it. -
A buddy of mine went to E Town last night and posted videos of his runs. In one of them he went against a Blue tinted Silverado SS. https://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=211917018832819&comments Not sure this link will work.

Front Awd Axle Bearing(S) Question
KAC1023 replied to KAC1023's topic in AWD, Differential, & Transmission Tech
I think I can handle it myself, do you know the model # of our front diff's? So I can perhaps get a hold of Eaton or whoever and get a rebuild kit? thanks for the quick reply btw -
I've been searching the forums on front diff rebuilds and they all involved the removal of the front diff to be "split" and rebuilt. When I updated my brakes to the 05+ brakes I noticed the drivers side diff side axle bearing had a little play, maybe 1/4-1/2". I was telling a mechanic at work about it and he asked if the seal leaking, because sometimes there is a little play there. On Friday I was "under there" changing my oil and saw a little sweat around that seal and it needed a few pumps of fluid. When I'm "working" it's usually bloody like 6-7 days a week, 8-15 hour shifts and in the Spring I have a little "break" so I'd like to catch up on my trucks service so it doesn't break down or have a issue at the worse time. Can these bearings be replaced without the front diff removal? Or does it involve it being removed? Where is a good place to get the bearings or rebuild kit? I have no problem spending a few extra bucks for the right stuff. I went cheap on U joints with my F350 that was modded and less than 2 years later the same U joints had play.
