Hi all, it's been a while since I been in here and posted so I just wanted to say hello and see how things are going. I walk by all the brand new SS's built and admire them each and every time I go to work. Yesterday the plant built two pilot trucks reffered to as "Texas Trucks". I havn't a clue why they named them that. Where is Tahoe? I thought he would have mentioned them. Anyways about these trucks.
Gm will soon offer a limited number of a 2004 C-Model 2WD trucks built with a K-Model torsion bar suspension. The coil spring suspension that is normally used on the 2-wheel drive vehicles has been replaced by a torsion bar suspension thus giving way to a unique frame that is similar to the K-model 4-wheel drive. It has a High Performance Package offering the same 345 hp 6.0 litre engine as the Silverado SS, but in a 2-wheel drive form.
Highlites:
20” Chrome 5-spoke wheels (not the same as on the Silverado SS)
20” Tires (P275/55R20)
LQ9 Vortec “High Ouput 345 hp V8
M32 4-speed HD Automatic Transmission
Unique “Vortec High Output” Badging
C-Model 2WD built with a K-Model Torsion Bar Suspension
Also, there will be another limited edition comming soon with a new appearance package entitled the “Spring Special” as well. This will be a 2-wheel drive, extended cab with 20- inch wheels and tires. Unlike the Texas Truck, the powertrain will be the existing engine (LM7) and transmission (M30). All Spring Special trucks will be painted Indigo Blue Metallic (39U) - a colour that had been previously cancelled.

I still don't think it is available up here.
I than went on the GMC website and did the same thing. To my suprise the 6.0l wasn't available for my zip?
Who Knows? GM is stupid for not just alowing this everywhere.
We tow horses and cattle up here too you know
I can't afford one anyway.
I would like to upgrade my 03 Z71 gmc to a 6.0l hd tranny though.

The dealership near my house had an 04 carbon-metallic Sierra with the LQ9, On-Star, XM, Bose, 20"s, and MSRP was $32k. I looked at buying it but they wouldn't negotiate on the price!!

just because you have it doesn't mean you know anything about it.
