The truck started as Z56 Police Pursuit Package Tahoe. If you google Z56 Tahoe you will see this was the best stock chassis to start with, HD brakes, HD suspension, lower ride height, and 2WD are some of the factory Z56 features.
On the mechanical side, I tossed the factory iron block 5.3L and replaced it with a Corvette LS1 5.7 Aluminum short block with factory flat top pistons, New Clevite Bearings, ARP Rod Bolts, 241 Heads with Partriot Gold Double Springs, GM MLS Head Gasket, Comp Cams custom grind 230/232 .601 lift cam, Melling LS6 High Flow Oil Pump, Cloyes LS2 Timing Set, All new GM factory replacement gaskets from the dealer. The engine is at about 10:1 compression, tuned for 93 pump gas, and runs great and makes about 450-500HP crank, soon to be higher with a little more tuning.
Exhaust starts with polished Stainless OBX Long Tube Headers to V-Band clamps connecting it to a full Stainless 3in true dual over the axel out the rear to polished Stainless SLP 4in tips running through Stainless Magnaflow straight through mufflers and a DynoMax Stainless Cross-Flow Muffler (X-Pipe). This exhaust was all done right, mandrel bends, all stainless hardware and stainless wire was used for welding. This will last forever and sounds amazing, nice rumble down low that wakes up when you get on it.
The rear end was replaced with 4:10 gears and an Eaton posi unit, Installed by a professional and is what Eaton calls their "Bullet-Proof" rear end.
The Transmission was rebuilt. It shifts awesome, nice and firm and does not slip at all. Should last for many years and the transmission computer was tuned along with everything else to handle the added power.
The brakes were all just replaced with ceramic pads all the way around and new calipers in the front. This truck does have the Heavy Duty braking package and stops with lots of power.
Starting front to back with the SS front bumper, then the SS grills, next the body color header panel, then the clear corner lenses, and hide-away fog lights. I added the HID 8000K headlights, they are in proper projector housings with proper cut-offs that will light up the road and not blind oncoming traffic. Next was to shave any body molding, clear the roof, and color match the door handles. I also ceramic painted the calipers and added Chevrolet high temp caliper decals. The look of this truck is 2nd to none and a real eye catcher. 1 of a kind and receive complements all the time.

Now for the "Good News/Bad News" section...
The Good:...
You have a truck with a newer engine, lots of power that is going to last a really long time because it has all now quality parts. Transmission has been rebuilt and tuned for the power, so it will last for many years to come. The rear end internals are all brand new too and with performance parts. The entire drivetrain is rebuilt or new and is ready for years and years of long term reliable service. The truck is still a 2006 and is pretty new. I have used "Rust Proofing" on the underside of the truck, and it is mostly rust free although it is a Buffalo vehicle and rust proofing last 2yrs at best here, I recommend doing it again next winter if it is something you care to do. The truck has never had a trailer hitch and never been used for towing or heavy loads. I have the title clean and clear in hand with no leins. I have almost $6K in receipts for most of the work and parts that have been put on this truck. The brakes are all new within the past month, and the carpet is brand new.
The Bad:....
Minor crack in the windsheild up above the rear view mirror. The front bumper is "a good 10 footer" it has at this point more touch-up paint on it than actual paint (not really that much, but a lot). The paint all around has some scratches. The heated seats are not yet wired, I have not had the time since I put the new seats in. The rear wiper does not work, and I never cared to figure out why because I don't use it anyway. The truck has 165K miles on it, I know it's high for the year, but you would never guess it looking at it, and the drivetrain has low miles on it now. Will need at least the idler arm and pitman arm replaced before it will pass inspection.
Car is being sold as-is but please do not hesitate to ask me any questions. I Can take additional pictures for interested parties if needed but the pictures of it already posted make a pretty good representation of the condition. I respond the fastest that I am able to

Automakers score 8 out of top 20 most-watched ads on YouTube [w/videos]
Fri, 14 Dec 2012Who would have ever thought there'd be a day where people are able to skip television commercials only to go to websites to watch them later? Such is the joy of a DVR and YouTube. AdWeek tabulated the 20 most-watched ads on YouTube, and found that nine were car-related including eight coming from automakers.
Volkswagen continued its Star Wars theme with two ads in the top 20, including the highest-ranking car commercial The Bark Side spot at number three with almost 18 million views, which doesn't even have a single car in it. Some of our favorites are from Chrysler with Clint Eastwood in It's Halftime in America and House Arrest with Charlie Sheen for the Fiat 500 Abarth. Chevrolet, Honda, Audi and Toyota were the other automakers in the top 20, but we'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention one of the coolest ads on the list, the Hot Wheels corkscrew jump.
Of all the car videos, only the Fiat ad wasn't played during a Super Bowl. Check out all eight videos - in order - after the jump. Nike took the top spot with its My Time is Now ad that has been seen online more than 20 million times with Pepsi's Uncle Drew posted up in the runner-up; some of the other videos include four Old Spice commercials and an ad in which Snoop Dogg is pedaling Hot Pockets.
Chevy might've pulled out of NASCAR if it weren't for new Gen 6 car
Wed, 20 Feb 2013We've been on the fence with NASCAR for some time now. On one hand, it's some of the closest racing anywhere in motorsports, with actual passing and door-handle-to-door-handle action as a matter of course. But on the other, it's become template racing - a personality-driven sport more about the drivers than any sort of loyalty to a particular automaker. The Car Of Tomorrow format really rammed that message home, with a racecar's identity coming down to little more than headlamp stickers slapped on the nose. That's not necessarily a bad thing in and of itself, but we've wondered for some time what's in it for the automakers, who pay big money to stay in a series that has had little increasingly little do with street car sales, let alone innovation.
Apparently General Motors was beginning to wonder the same thing. In a new ESPN report, Rick Hendrick, team owner of Hendrick Motorsports, suggests that GM would have seriously considered leaving NASCAR if it wasn't for the move away from the COT to the new Gen 6 racer. According to Hendrick, GM North America boss Mark Reuss spearheaded the charge away from the 2007 COT and toward a racecar with clearer automaker ties - cars like the new Chevrolet SS racer shown above. Learn more about the fight for a closer-to-production look in the ESPN story at the link.
Now, if we could just get more rear-wheel drive V8 coupes into showrooms....
2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra debut all-new designs, three new engines
Thu, 13 Dec 2012General Motors has finally dropped the curtain on the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and 2014 GMC Sierra. Both trucks have undergone substantial revisions with updated versions of the company's 4.3-liter V6, 5.3-liter V8 and 6.2-liter V8 engines. In a shot across the bows of both Ford and Chrysler, GM says it won't use a V6 engine adapted from passenger car applications. Instead, it developed the 4.3-liter engine based on its proven truck-duty architecture.
All three mills will boast direct injection fuel systems as well as a new cylinder head design. Combined with a revised piston, the new engines feature a smaller combustion chamber with a compression ratio of 11:1 or higher depending on the application. Cylinder deactivation and continuously variable valve timing are all part of the recipe, and each engine is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission with auto grade breaking. So far, no fuel economy or horsepower figures have been released, though GM says the new engines will best their predecessors in both areas.
Outside, the trucks feature a number of enhancements to reduce drag and wind noise, and GM claims both the Silverado and Sierra will offer buyers some of the quietest cabins in the class. Extended cab models now feature front-hinged rear doors to allow easier access to the back passenger area, and Crew Cab buyers can now select between a five-foot, eight-inch bed or a six-foot, six-inch bed. Buyers with a mind toward going off road will also rejoice in the return of the Z71 package, complete with Rancho shocks, front tow hooks and additional under-body protection.
