Here's how it reads:
1500 2wd EC- SS and Performance Edition (VMax); box length= 6.5'; Max trailer weight= 7800; Required axle ratio= 3.73; GCWR=13000
1500 2wd/4x4 EC w/ VMax pkg; box length=6.5'; max trailer weight 10400/10000; required axle ratio= 4.10; GCWR=15500
1500 2wd/4x4 CC w/ VMax pkg; box length=5.8'; max trailer weight= 10100/9900; Required axle ratio= 3.73/4.10; GCWR=15500
I'm just pointing out that there are several different LQ9 "Packages".
A "Performance Package" and a "Vortec Max Performance Pack" aren't the same thing. A "PP" has the lowered Z60 suspension, 3.73's....and 20's. A "VMax Pkg" has the "super duty" (M70), 4.10's, 4x4...and 17's UNLESS you opt for a 2WD and then you get 3.73's...which is what it sounds like you ordered.
It even states that the "Vortec Max Performance Pack....3.73 (2WD models), 4.10 (4x4 models)..." I don't see anywhere how you can order an LQ9 pkg w/4.10's in 2WD.
I'm sure you'll be happy once you get it. I'm just pointing out that you'd said earlier in the thread that you thought you, "might have made a mistake" when you ordered yours and I'm saying that I don't think you could've done it any other way.

The NHT option gets you 2WD 4.10's LQ9, M70, The ride control shocks and 9.5" rear but no 20's. There is a possibility that the literature is different in different parts of the country. Thanks for the specs but my literature says it's 10,000 lbs. towing cap but doesn't specify the LQ9 with any other options??

Matt, I got it today but haven't taken pix yet. First thing in the morning. This is the SICKEST TRUCK! I already don't miss the Tahoe or the Whipple.

I'm looking for a top notch HID or Projector ligt kit first. Next, exhaust. Then, once it's broken in a little, it goes to SlowHawk. It'll become a notoriously powerful NA truck. And if I'm still not happy after the internals are built, it'll be ready for a 200 wet shot...
