It's a "00 C1500 with a 6.0 with Vette LS6 heads and cam.
true duals. Still running the stock 5.3 computer program, with the rev limiter raised to 6200 and speed limiter up to 128..
18-19 mpg..idles like a stocker..uses regular gas..will run with or beat the Gibbs truck all day..with 3.42 gears running 14.0's still hitting rev limiter..
Now with 4.10 gears, should run 13's..
If they would build this truck it would (SHOULD) be priced right and be what public wanted..I think. MAYBE SOME DAY!!

Sorry to bug you like this but my dad is a Chevy man by heart and sometimes wishes his truck is as fast as mine.
Nice work...

I swapped the motor out to a 6.0..If you think about what a computer does, It wil operate ok, but just not up to it's full potential..It tries to maintain a set air/fuel ratio and regulates timing by the knock sensors..the ONLY thing I had to tweek was the base idle screw on the throttle body..Had to raise it about a 1/2 turn..Ed Wright (GM Computer Guru) in Oklahoma tells me I have at least a 1/2 second in my computer..May have it reprogramed now that I have tires and gears like I want..
Need more info, email me at My-SS@EV1.Net

Dude your truck is bada$$, but running a stock 5.3 computer program on a moded 6.0, how is that possible? Did you bore the engine or swap it out with a 6.0? Got any idea on how much power its putting out?
