[Old Fart]

[Intmdtr]

Nice ride

[99chromegt]

SS = super sexy

So did you get your LS Ream Team swag ordered for this season?
Congrats!
Post a video or two so we can hear that cam & exhaust setup.

[TurboFox]

Its got a stock catback on the moment but it still lopes. Ill get a sound clip once I swap out the muffler

[03svt]

very nice Sir, very nice.

[HyperGT]

nice and now i get the exhaust! How many km on er?

[TurboFox]

150km. Love it so far but the gas mileage is terrifying

Obi-Wan: Your father... was seduced by the Dark Side. He ceased to be Turbo Fox and "became" Darth Dean. When that happened, the good man who was Dean was destroyed. So what I told you was true... from a certain point of view... He's more Chevy now than Ford. His mind is twisted and evil.

[TurboFox]

Fucking guy lol

[Armen]

Haha... J/K.

Very nice truck. And the colour is great. Much better than all the black ones. Sharp.

[TurboFox]

Ya im happy with silver. To be honest i would have bought this thing regardless of the colour but im happy it worked out this way.

[12GrabberGT]

An engine compartment picture would be nice.

[ZR]

Wow, very nice.
Yes please on more pics.

[JDS]

Very nice.

[saleenman]

Very nice! I think I might have a Trailblazer SS parking sign somewhere in my house. lol

When I sold mine I forgot to give him that.

[Laffs]

Nice looking fuel slut, those are fun trucks.

[TurboFox]

11mpg driving to work....

But it's an animal from a dig

[Laffs]

Rolls for the race car, digs for the daily?

[TurboFox]

Combined they would make the perfect car


Actually that's pretty much a gtr

[Ziggyzag420]

Very nice truck, is it a 1ss or 3ss

[TurboFox]

Not sure. Its got leather with the suede inserts but no sunroof or nav

[Ziggyzag420]

Sounds like a 3ss , the main difference between the two is the 3ss have leather and digital climate control and the 1ss has cloth seats and manual ac/heat

[TurboFox]

Yeah its got the climate control too....good to know

[Ziggyzag420]

Have a look at

www.tbssowners.com there is a lot of good information on there about the TBSS

[TurboFox]

Well guess who might be doing a 4l80e swap

[ZR]

Ok, I give up, who?
More pics yet?

[TurboFox]

I'll probably bring it out next week....

[ZR]

Ok, off the hook till then.
Pretty killer rig dude.

[TurboFox]

Ya I'll try and limp it down to Cayuga next week and watch some racing.

[ZR]

Deal.

[Ziggyzag420]

Well guess who might be doing a 4l80e swap

Did the trans give out , I replaced mine twice on my 06 TBSS ,if I had kept it I would've went with a trans from RPM they seem to able to build them so they stay together.

[TurboFox]

pretty much yeah. Honestly I think I might go 4L80e. I'm hesitant on dropping 4k on built 4L70e just to worry its gonna grenade everytime I stomp on it.

4l80 isn't too pricey. Just need to have a driveshaft made and buy a preprogrammed TCM. I already talked to Circle D about a converter that will be able to tow yet have a higher stall (3200).

I dunno tho I am still thinking it all through. I have a massive bill coming my way for my mustang's paint job as well otherwise I would have already started ordering the new trans parts.

[Ziggyzag420]

Whichever way you decide to go when the trans is out it would be a good idea to address the oil starvation issues the trucks have as well.

[TurboFox]

already done. Its got a fresh LS2 in it with one of those PCM4less oil pickup tubes

[Ziggyzag420]

already done. Its got a fresh LS2 in it with one of those PCM4less oil pickup tubes

That's good news

[StAnger]

Nice truck. Be kind to that transmission though. Those 4L70Es don't like a lot of abuse, and tend to grenade like their 4L60 cousins.
