I'd pay $50 - $60k for a short cab bells and whistles 6.2l supercharged 2019 Silverado SS with a 6 speed manual transmission and 4WD. All ordered from the dealer with factory warranty. Just sayin'. Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

I agree there is no way I would pay 100k for a truck, I would build my own for much less. The point being GM could produce in mass a Silverado SS in the price range of a LTZ. They still make SS packages on so many other Chevrolet models, don't tell me they are loosing money. Don't tell me there is no market either. Ram and Ford sales numbers justify the production of the Rebel and Raptor, as would the production of a Silverado SS. Obviously people still want trucks like this, that's why this site is around and someone made the SYC Silverado. It's a small niche I understand, but it exists. Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

http://amp.timeinc.net/thedrive/news/18737/800-horsepower-yenko-sc-silverado-is-the-performance-pickup-truck-chevy-is-scared-to-make?source=dam/URL] Ford has had the Raptor for years. Dodge is heavily marketing the Rebel. Why has GM not entered into the market with a response? SYC anyone? Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

I have been looking for a new set of OEM silver metallic wheels forever. I finally resigned to the fact that reconditioned OEM was as close as I'm going to get. I have had to buy form three different sources and still only have three wheels. It seems that even the reconditioned wheels at a fair price sell very fast. You may be able to find one or two on eBay, but the price is very inflated due to demand. Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

The Silverado SS is a go fast truck. Not a go anywhere truck. Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

No, my truck is Onyx Black and my OEM tailgate has the Silverado badging. I'm getting a second decal for the shaved tailgate I'm building to swap in the spring. Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

Yes it's clear so it can be used on any color gate, and yes it's $80 for a freakin' sticker. [emoji107] Thanks for your help. Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

Does anyone have the "Silverado" script from a tailgate for sale in black, or know where to get one, or have a GM part number? I have attached a picture from the internet for reference. Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

No one has a blue SSS and wants the matching Matchbox? Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

I have a Silverado SS rollpan in black. Send me an offer via PM if interested. Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

It has the bumpers but not badging. Just as pictured. Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

Like New. Finally got one in Onyx Black the same as my truck so I'm selling my Arrival Blue. 1/64 Matchbox, $20 shipped to you. Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

Black Bear made me a custom tune for my Whipple Charged SS via Auto Cal and it's as precise as a Dyno tune! Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

The Silverado SS silhouette was a custom order. The same guy who sells the stainless keychains on eBay sells keychains on Etsy. I bought the Cobalt SS silhouette, inquired about a Silverado SS, and the fella made one for me. If there is interest I may look into have a run made for everyone here...

I have the set. Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

Good luck. I bet you'll end up using Muti Tech II LS7 type with the appropriate flow rate and injector port size for the amount of boost you want to run. I personally ran injectors that have the ability to out run my boost so I don't burn things up and also don't hit a ceiling if I choose to put my Whipple on a built LQ9 made to see massive boost.

Whatever your tuner tells you to use. You need to get the size right or you'll burn a hole in a piston under boost. Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

PCM and BCM will do crazy stuff when you have a short and/or low voltage. The alternator in my car shit the bed last summer, and I ended up driving home on battery only voltage. As I was pulling into my driveway dash lit up like a Christmas tree and the PCM/BCM flashed about every message it was programmed for and then went black as the car died.

I remapped my PCM via Black Bear Autocal. That being said, the Autocal read the stock PCM file, stored it, and then flashed a new PCM file. During the tuning process I observed that as the Autocal was communicating with the PCM it displayed UNKNOWN DRIVER before the PCM accepted the new PCM file labeled as DRIVER ONE (same name as stock). It is my understanding that the lable for the PCM file can be named anything you want if you can access that data via your programming software. (My programmer and I use EFI Live). I stuck with DRIVER ONE because MY NAME IN CAPITAL LETTERS seemed cheesey. I'm guessing that your information center is displaying UNKNOWN DRIVER because there is some communication error between your PCM and BCM. Did you mess with anything related to either of these systems? Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

When I supercharged my truck the supercharger came with a new EVAP purge solenoid (the sensor that sits on the intake manifold and purges the gas vapor from the charcoal canister into the intake). I would assume this is because the new one was supposed to have a stronger check valve inside. (I know from experience, as I have smoked this part on my Cobalt SS running high turbo boost. The increased pressure in the intake at boost popped the check valve inside on the stock unit.) Since I replaced this and my truck is a 2004 (even with only 30k) I decided to replace all the easily serviceable EVAP components. I bought a new gas cap and the purge solenoid that sits on the side of the tank (item 4). Replacing these items can be done without dropping the tank or removing the bed. I was surprised how much faster my tank fills at the pump. Even though I didn't notice a problem before, when I tightened up the EVAP system with new components it allowed air out of the tank faster when I was filling up with fuel, and most likely eliminated small tolerable vapor leaks from the tank. The irony in all this is that Whipple does not have a provision on their intake and/or supercharger for the PCV system. The fuel system discharge solenoid that used to vent the fuel vapor from the charcoal canister to the intake manifold now vents to the PCV valve on the driver’s side valve cover and vise versa. The line from the PCV valve from factory that also vented to the intake is now connected to the fuel system discharge solenoid. Therefore you have flow from the PCV system to the fuel system discharge solenoid, and from the fuel system discharge solenoid to the PCV valve. This creates a situation where two positive directions of flow are pushing against each other. i.e. The PCV is flowing out to the fuel system discharge solenoid, and the fuel system discharge solenoid is flowing out to the PCV valve. Obviously this creates a situation where the flow goes nowhere deadheading in the hose until it leaks past the PCV valve back into the valve cover. In this situation the pressure from PCV system finds another route to escape to atmosphere through the engine (better to atmosphere than into my intake anyway I feel. Just don't tell the EPA.) When the fuel vapor from the charcoal canister vents through the fuel system discharge solenoid in to valve cover it mixes with engine oil. This thins it out just a tad im sure, or simply evaporates and exits with the PCV gases to atmosphere. (Again, better than fouling my intake manifold with gunk I think, just don't tell the EPA.) It's a little comical as my EVAP system tells me when the fuel system discharge solenoid vents into the valve cover, because the PCM detects this as an EVAP leak. I'll be driving along and eventually the pressure in the charcoal canister needs to vent via the fuel system discharge solenoid into the valve cover. The PCM detects this pressure deviation in the EVAP system and displays the TIGHTEN FUEL CAP message in the information center. The fuel system discharge solenoid ends the purge, the system reseals, and the TIGHTEN FUEL CAP message goes away. If my wife is with me she hears the chime from the information center and says “What is your truck doing now?” I tell her it’s so powerful it’s reminding me to drive safely. She rolls her eyes. Never complains when the squeezebox pushes her back into the seat through. (Just don’t tell the EPA.)

Check out this Silverado SS I found on eBay... https://www.ebay.com/itm/2005-Chevrolet-Silverado-1500-SS/253370028937?hash=item3afe07d389:g:Z3sAAOSwhplaXBuF&vxp=mtr

If the EVAP canister filter attached to the side of the gas tank is clogged it will not allow air in/out of the tank, thus not allowing fuel in. This problem usually comes in conjunction with a TIGHTEN FUEL CAP message being displayed via the information center readout because of an EVAP system leak. OR if it only happens once in a blue moon the fuel filter in the station gas pump is blocked and there is nothing wrong with your truck. Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

Tuning complete on fourth go round with BlackBear. Very happy with the results! Truck has great driveability and for the most part unaffected gas mileage (if I stay out of boost). Power out the wazoo when I put my foot down, max boosting at 14 PSI. I have a TansGo shift kit and servos etc that I plan on having installed in the spring to elongate the life of the 4L65E. I don't plan on modding the engine further as I think it's taking all it can handle now. If I want more I'm probably going to go get a LQ4 from the yard and rebuild it bulletproof / for performance from the bottom up to accommodate the blower. I think I'm going to take it to the track in the summer to see what 1/4 time it will do. Anyone have any guesses? I'm really not sure what to expect. I have a vacuum/boost gauge and almost always drive the truck under vacuum. I've found the 6.0 has plenty of power naturally aspirated for around town driving and runs real close to stoichiometric ratio @ 14.7:1 according to my wideband air/fuel gauge.
