Default Nubey with a 400 super sport silverado

hey guys, I just bought a 2001 silverado SS 400 . from what i hear these trucks are pretty rare. only paid 14.5 for it with just over 100k on it. its got the 400 v8, the original owner said he put a chip in it and a cool air intake system on it.

where can i go for more information on it?

I will be the first to let you know they do not have a 400 engine in them.. They have a 5.3 in them, the early 99-00 trucks had or you could still get the 350 in them. Just a mild appearance package, mostly sold in mexico.. Welcome to the site, but sorry to burst your bubble.. If you paid 14.5 for it just because they told you it has a 400 in it, I would take it back and tell them to give you about 7k back or drive the truck up there ***.. Pics is always a plus

It SAYS 400ss, but its a 5.3 (324~ CI). post the VIN number, we can prove to you its a 5.3
