quick66ss Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 I am looking at buying an 06 GMC crew cab with the Vortech max package. Anyone have any insight for me? I think it will fill all of my needs. I am just looking for some feedback from forum members. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonmalibuss Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 I have an 05 VHO which is what they were tagged before getting the nae plate Vortech Max in 06. Off the top of my head I would have to say try and get it with 4.10 rear gears instead of the 3.73's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 overall it is one of the best trucks offered by the general ever. milage is within reason, but they are a premium fuel vehicle. if i were to buy an extended or crew cab 06' that's what i'd buy.

I don't see why not it only makes sence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quick66ss Posted February 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 Thanks for the feedback. As soon as the Impala sells I am off to the dealer. It looks like I will have to build it as they have not been able to locate one with the options I want. Can you re program the PC for 89 fuel? I don't think I would consider it unless gas got over $3 again. I love the fact that my Impala SS runs so strong and gets 21 MPG running 89 octane.

diehardchevy Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 diehardchevy - Do you have any regrets? Any options you wish you could have added? Thanks Mike <{POST_SNAPBACK}> NO SIR! this is by far the best truck i have ever owned. the only thing i wish it had, was a DVD system for the kid, which i am adding in the next month or so. My truck is pretty well loaded. leather, sunroof, bose stereo, i think dvd is the only thing it doesn't have. If you click on my sig there are quite a few pics of my truck. check em out and let me know if you have anymore questions! Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I would consider it unless gas got over $3 again. I love the fact that my Impala SS runs so strong and gets 21 MPG running 89 octane. you could program it for lower octane, but if it were able to run efficiently at a lower octane, GM would have done that themselves. you'd likely lose fuel milage over having the propper timing curve with premium fuel. keep in mind that between mid grade and premium it's less than $3 per tank difference.

zippy Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 you aren't losing anything by running 92 in it over 91, trust me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
