Silverado SS

[Red03SilSS]

I believe the truck has been wrecked before. Also I was under the impression the the SSs came standard with Leather.

they changed to drums in '04 again thankfully, and I noticed along with the bad gaps there's a wrinkle in the bumper cover drivers side and with the missing badge that makes me think its been side swiped or something, but as long as it was fixed right not a bad deal at all

off by a year they started bigger front brakes in the front and drums in the back in 05 along with e fans also

05's+ have drums. I've never heard of an SSS with cloth but almost anything is possible. $12K doesn't sound like a smokin' deal with truck prices right now but it's not bad IF it's not a rebuild.

Thanks for all the responses . There is a carfax provided and no accidents show up but carfax doesn't catch everything . You could wreck it yourself into a pole backing out of your driveway , pull it into your garage and fix it and they'd never know about it . I called the dealer that serviced it in San Angelo ,TX that is mentioned in the carfax and he said that it could be an LS SS rather than an LT and this package could have the velour interior . The report also shows 2 front end alignments and the service mgr told me that some of these trucks tend to wear tires on the inside because of the 20's . Is this true ? My 94 has never had a front end alignment and now has 200K on the odometer . They also say its RWD but maybe they don't know it's AWD ? As far as the spacing in between the bed and the cab it looks OK to me . What are you seeing Chevrolade ? Appreciate the input gentlemen !

Looks like there's a BB gun hole or something right above the gas tank door. +1 on the body lines...maybe it's the photos but something seems up...

That stupid about the LS SS. That was a salesman? Figures. It's neither an LT or an LS......it's an SS. I guarantee (almost) the model is a 1SS, 2SS, etc.....

The '94 style is probably the worst GM truck front end for part longevity, alignment issues, and sloppy steering. Sorry but....the AWD's hardly ever have alignment issues (including Denali and Escalade). Two aligments? Well, could be better than average maintenance. Almost impossible for warranty to pay for one, muck less two, unless there were parts replaced that required it. Hope that's not it. BTW, the only thing that shows up on CarFax in most cases is if it's had pillar damage. If there is pillar damage, it's most likely a total that would show up in FREE state or dealer checks anyway.

Umm...cannot remember what year this is but they made 2WD SSS later on....

Guess I need to check the link, huh?

I just ran the VIN in GM VIS, it's 2WD. 3:73s with G80. I didn't know they came without leather either, but I see nothing that says leather interior in the vehicle build, it's the 1SS interior so that doesn't include leather. Nothing major was replaced under warranty, wheel alignment measure was done at 6000 miles which is pretty well the mileage for it's first tire rotation, the customer may have noticed very slight wear on the tires and the dealer may have checked the alignment to keep the customer happy. The front tires will wear a little on the inside if they're not rotated every 6,000 miles or so. Once these trucks get some miles on them it's good to get an alignment. The caster/camber tend to go towards the negative side of the specs and sometimes out of spec a little. Almost every truck I get in for an alignment with say 50-60K miles+ on them I have to adjust the caster/camber up sometimes as much as a degree. Negative camber will wear the tires on the inside edges.

I noticed the same thing with the spacings in the doors on the drivers side especially, could be the pics though. That truck is definietly worth taking a look at, seems to be a great price!

Looks real to me except for the cloth. The VIN checks as far as engine number and, cab style, year model, etc. I'll run it through GM's 'puter tomorrow if someone bumps as a reminder. That's kind of a lot of miles for an '05 in some places, low for here. The body gaps are bad in the pics. Someone said this was a private sale? NOT. Private sale by a wholesaler. You can tell by the type (not the actual quality) of pics.

[GasGuzzler]

Thanks. No need for a bump now.

Alignment without parts replacement is only covered between 750 and 7500 miles. They must have had another truck previously with tire wear issues and knew how to complain to get it under warranty as the AWD's didn't pull or wear.

I have to add caster to every GMT800 I've ever put on the machine....and almost all of them have negative total toe that needs corrected. Camber can be anywhere....

Thanks for running that through the system for me . The carfax says that a steering shaft was replaced . The guy I spoke to worked in the service dept - he was't a salesman but he said that sometimes those steering knuckles will start to pop and they just replace them . Frankly , I'm getting turned off with this truck . I'm not all that mechanically savvy like you guys are . I'm also seeing that the SS gets 16mpg on the highway , I'm thinking of finding a nice Silverado with the 5.3 maybe and just letting Allen work a little magic on that for me . As far as my 94 goes , maybe I got a good one . I've never noticed what Gasguzzler is saying but maybe if you put it on the machine you'd be sure to find something wrong at 200K ! All I know is that it doesn't wear tires and never has and doesn't pull at all . I wish I could say the same for my Regal GS . I found this really nice 05 Silvy Max in Richardson and it seems like a great price although I'm a bit turned off by the fact that it's been cammed - I'd rather have a stock engine and do mods myself . Can anyone tell me what the rims on this truck are ? THey say they're factory . You guys try not to get too excited about this truck now because I might buy it !
