No, if you read the fine print the 5.3 is still only available w/ the 4L60E. But the good news is that you can get a RCSB w/ the HO 6.0 AND the 9.5" rear end. So we'll also finally have an easy option to use the 9.5" rear in our trucks! This is VERY exciting!

I got all giddy for a second, but this has to be a misprint...

The Silverado SS is based on the 1500 Series Extended Cab with a short bed. It is powered by a high-output version of GM’s Vortec 6000 V-8, which pumps out 345 horsepower (257 kw) and 380 lb.-ft. (515 Nm) of torque. The engine is connected to a Hydra-Matic 4L85-E four-speed automatic overdrive transmission equipped with a 3.06 first gear and 0.70 final gear, which transfers power to a 4.10-geared locking rear axle for rapid acceleration and relaxed highway cruising.
The 4L85E in the SS? It's listed that way in two different spots, but the gear ratios are that of the 65-e. Hmm, a 1/2 ton w/ the 85-e?!!?!?

That would be awesome if the 6.0 was available for RCSB in 06. Wish it was sooner!
