Exclamation My new 2006 Crew Cab Vortec Max (Website/Pics)

Hi guys!

Last week I got my new Silverado Crew Cab and posted this about it:

https://www.performancetrucks.net/fo...d.php?t=362741

Thanks for all the kind words...


As of right now, I have 199 miles on it. I sure love this truck but there is one thing I don't care for, the wash time! I washed it yesterday to take some pics and damn, it took about twice as long than a regular car! Not use to that. I had to get in the bed to wash the roof and I'm 6' 3". I ended up with a few water spots here and there due to washing it in the sun, didn't have a choice yesterday.

Anyways, heres my simple website for my new truck, (56k Beware, lots of pics):

Very nice. The 3.73's get it 2 mpg better than mine with 4.10's. My sticker said 14 & 17 mpg.

Glad to see another proud VMAX owner. Congrats!

Mike

P.S. Mine has almost 1K on it. I LOVE my new truck.

Thanks! I can't wait for this weekend. We are going back home to Erie, PA (4 hour trip) for about 4-5 days and I'll rack up the miles, probably about 600-650 by the time I get back.

The button is for "Ride Control" it is suppose to make it ride a tad stiffer when towing and/or driving on rough terrain. I really can't tell a difference when it's "ON"

One thing I did find out was the heated mirrors and rear defogger are on the same switch.

Thanks BTW are you taking your SS to the f-body Gathering 10 in Atlanta in May.

It's a fun show about 400 f-bodies and the new Camaro Concept will be on hand.

I like to drive, but that's too far for me, probably close to 12 hours or so away.

Thats a very nice truck. I sure wouldnt turn one down. I just cant believe the MSRP for all that was only $35K. That seems cheap for all that and normaly MSRP is scary.
