Ok, I just read the article in Truck Trend Magazine about the 2005 RWD SS. It does indeed say 4L85E and lists its correct gear ratios. Can anyone confirm if this is correct or a mistake???

I am skeptical of several bits of data in that article. I think the trans should have been a 4L65-E instead of a 4L85-E. If the person putting the data together thought it was an '85, then it makes sense that they would find and list the ratios for that trans.
The tire size is listed as 245/75R20 which would have a diameter of 35.4 inches, which is a significant increase over the 31.9 inch diameter 275/55R20 tires that were previously used. Again I think this is a typo.
The axle ratio is listed as 4.10, but an article on the internet said Chevy changed the ratio to 3.73 in the 2WD SS.
So, someone has a 2WD SS and can verify this stuff. How 'bout it?

It's hardly any different than the VHO trucks other than the body kit.
