I got an SS 6.0 HO as well but the previous owner did an emblem delete on the doors to add a 22’s emblem. I no longer have those 22’s on the truck due to one of the rims cracking
Hey I love the sound of that exhaust. I hear different others and I picked yours.. I also have a 03’ SS rebuilding transmission right now and would like to get more info as possible.. what kind of engine work you Ed done so far? Ls9 cam? What stage is that? I was told a stage 2 if I wanted to do a pro charge in the newer future.
Edit: I think I called foul on this too quickly. My apologies to you, enjoy that sweet sounding ride. ^.^ I just see way too many "Silverado SS" videos where critical details are missing. Or people forget to bowtie delete the rear, put "SS" decals on upside down...Note: not badges, but decals...right next to the existing door panel "1500". Or the body style is all wrong/engine displacement incorrect. I triggered being unable to see your transfer case while you shot up under the rig. AWD was all that was available that year. No choice. Only 30k of these left the factory over entire production run. Out of the 100 Dale Earnhardt Intimidators built, only 97 saw the light of day. 2 went missing, one never was completed and never left the factory. Mine's #3004! (if I'm reading the VIN serial right)
Bill Gonzalez just ordered mine as well and was wondering about the drone, ive heard its horrible, if i dont like it im putting my black widow mufflers on this kit haha
Bill Gonzalez if you dump any exhaust under the truck it's going to drone. I'll be buying the speed engineering set up for my SS but with mufflers and rear exit.
Thanks. Its been down for almost two years now. But by this fall i should have an updated video of the new forged 6.0 with a precision 76mm turbo and 4l80.
@@Lightning7474. if you are just throwing them on and not having them ported or changing the valves then the only real bump in power you will get is from compression. it will put it near a ls2 witch is just a aluminum 6.0 that also has 243s. if your doing this on a 6.0 youll probably only get 15hp (probably the same with the 5.3). i believe the reliefs in the pistons on a 6.0 put the compression around 10.2.1 with 243s. But if your gonna be all motor a set of 243s is a good first step. Once you decide to modify the heads or add a cam youll gain real power
@@2012Z28Camaro it's in my 03 Silverado SS. LQ9 motor. I appreciate your feedback, much respect to you dude. Not so sure where to start. Or how much $$$ all this will be. First time for everything.
@@Lightning7474. no problem dude. plenty of good companies out there for parts too. I mostly like (TSP) texas speed and performance. Since youve got the lq9 your compression would be even higher because youve got flat top pistons. As far as $$$ its all about how much you wanna do. TSP has a "Low lift truck cam" series that can reuse factory springs. Youd probably like the stage 2. on their site it says itll add about 50 hp and 20 tq but it still drives really good and doesnt really sound too different.

Hey man I saw your truck at Late Model Throttle. I have a red ‘04 SS too. I was wondering what your plans were with it and if you were willing to part it out since there is no motor in it. I’d be interested in buying
Bill Gonzalez have you had all your work done at Late Model Throttle. And when once you get it up and going I’d like to see it in action. I heard it’s about 900 to the wheel
At that time it dyno'd 350 to all four tires. That motor is long gone though. I'm currently working on a fully forged 6.0/76mm precision turbo/ 4l80 (still awd too) setup. Money is tight, but I'll have it ready in the spring. And I will put up a new vid when that time comes.
Bill Gonzalez hey man can I send you my phone number. I’d like to ask you a couple questions about your SS at Late model throttle. I have an SS too and was wondering if you’re willing to part it out
holy hell.. sounds awesome bill. and towards the end when you gave it throttle!!!! muscle car sound. I'm impressed
Sick truck I would not put that many badges on it very nice though
nice truck but did you really have to advertise the engine size 4 times on the hood lol
What mufflers
Where u get the steering wheel from
Holy fuck this made my speakers sound like it was my truck making noise
It should say 6.0L LQ9* on the hood. Clean truck though and sounds good.
Chenger Performance
Well, now it’s a forged Lq9 block, with GMPP LS9 heads and a Precision 76/75 turbo 😁
@@billg938 still 6.0L LQ9 is cleaner
i just bought A SPEED ENGINEERING 3" stainless y pipe
will be installing soon
thanks for the vid
That truck sounds so good.
th-cam.com/video/QhJ3Bk1UZds/w-d-xo.html
Would love to hear a cruising video on the highway!
where can i buy the hood emblem? 6.0 vortec 364ci
Don’t ! That’s the only thing I didn’t like about the truck
Truck sounds badass bro

wolfox2007 Um, it is an SSS.
wolfox2007 where can I get a steering wheel like that .?
@@cesarramos9192 are you speaking about the steering wheel cover on mine? Wal-Mart. $12. :>
How do you find out what number is yours by the vin? I'd like to know what number my 04 sss is
The 03-06 GMC Sierra Denali is basically the exact same thing as the SS. LQ9 6.0, AWD and everything. I have one and absolutely love it.
Super nice truck bud looks sick!!
What tipe off hood is that?
Is the cowl hood??
Around 2k rpm, it can get annoying. But it sounds totally badass.
Bill Gonzalez just ordered mine as well and was wondering about the drone, ive heard its horrible, if i dont like it im putting my black widow mufflers on this kit haha
agreed. thats why these dont belong on daily drivers lol

Curious what lowering setup you have on the truck. Love the stance. I have a mint 04 with 30k miles on it. Just bought it. Wasn’t cheap but I love it.
You can use a coilover conversion from Atomic Fabrication for the best ride up front. Rear is as simple as shackles and hangars.
that is a bad ass sound great job on the truck.
th-cam.com/video/QhJ3Bk1UZds/w-d-xo.html
Awesome sound !!!

love the truck

Bill Gonzalez That would be awesome, hope you can get it to top shape again.
Drop?
What kind of speed engineering exhaust is this ?
Where you buy the truck bro and for how much?
Where’d you get that hood? Like how the cowl hangs a little past
How difficult was it to go from 317 heads , to 243 head's? I'm sure it's a no-brainer for some gearheads out there. Not me, just asking.
just bolt them on. make sure youve got the right springs for your cam
@@2012Z28Camaro is there an increase in power from just the 243 heads without a cam?

Is the muffler you have in it is a true dual axle dump?
Where did you get those wheels
x2 wanting to know how bad drone is, getting ready to put this on my RCSB 4.8
Hey man I saw your truck at Late Model Throttle. I have a red ‘04 SS too. I was wondering what your plans were with it and if you were willing to part it out since there is no motor in it. I’d be interested in buying
Danny Barsch I’m actually picking it up today. It’ll be back together hopefully for ls fest this fall
Bill Gonzalez have you had all your work done at Late Model Throttle. And when once you get it up and going I’d like to see it in action. I heard it’s about 900 to the wheel
All work was done by myself and a few friends. LMT has just been storing it for me.
Do you still have this truck I would love to buy it it’s my dream truck please I’m begging you
🔥🔥💪🏾
Badass
How bad does it drone?
Upload an update on the truck haha
How many horses??
At that time it dyno'd 350 to all four tires. That motor is long gone though. I'm currently working on a fully forged 6.0/76mm precision turbo/ 4l80 (still awd too) setup. Money is tight, but I'll have it ready in the spring. And I will put up a new vid when that time comes.
Bill Gonzalez oh nice can’t wait to see the result.
What drop do you have on your truck?
Looks like 4/6 he need to go lower
Actually it’s a 3/3 on 305/40/22 tires
SVT BEAT 4/6 is pretty low
Those are just some iroc style Chinese made wheels. eBay, like $800 or so. But they look good, so.
Bill Gonzalez hey man can I send you my phone number. I’d like to ask you a couple questions about your SS at Late model throttle. I have an SS too and was wondering if you’re willing to part it out
th-cam.com/video/QhJ3Bk1UZds/w-d-xo.html
you said no cats
i have a random question, is your ss badge on door chrome or gray
NateDougie602 gray
is the steering wheel off a trailblazer ss? if so how easy was the install? does everything still function correctly?
Its a grant steering wheel with a TBSS airbag. Easy install, everything works fine.
do you have anything done to the motor
Sounds good. What wheels are those?
