thanks for the info on the 06's. I was told in april, after several visits to the dealer and letters to GM, that the 6.0 was not going to be offered in the crew cab 4x4 and that was not an opp. for 05 or 06. After talking to them i was sure that i would not see a 6.0 crew cab 4x4 in 06.... so i ordered my z71. A friend told me about your posting and i had to read it.... needless to say the next phone call that i made was to my GM dealer. the sales person was uh, well, clueless. (but honest) and doubted the info i had. Untill i gave him the RPO that you posted. well after a short "come to Jesus meeting" he understood my posostion and reordered my crew cab 4x4 with the 6.0. with my original z71 due in next week, you saved me a lot of greef. i will have to start the waiting all over again but i will be waiting for what i want and not what i had to settle for.....
If i would have taken the z71 and three months later seen the 6.0 crew cab on the road, well pissed off would be an ubdrestatement I dont know how or where you got your info but keep it coming. and thanks!!!!!
im happy now!!!!

This is the RPO NHT:
VortecMax Performance Pack, includes (LQ9) Engine, Vortec high-output 6000 V8 and door badge that reads "Vortec Max", (M70) Transmission, 4-speed automatic, super duty, (GT5) Rear axle, 4.10 ratio, (G80) Differential, locking, heavy-duty, rear, (ZX3) Suspension Package, Ride-Control, (NP8) Transfer case, electronic Autotrac, (KC4) Cooling, external engine oil cooler, (KNP) Cooling, external transmission oil cooler, auxiliary, and (Z82) Trailering equipment, heavy-duty

They still have the RPO B4V:
Silverado Performance Edition, includes (LQ9) Engine, Vortec high-output 6000 V8, (M32) Transmission, 4-speed automatic, heavy-duty, (GT4) Rear axle, 3.73 ratio, (Z60) Suspension Package, High-Performance, (G80) Differential, locking, heavy-duty, rear, (NW7) Traction assist system, electronic, (KC4) Cooling, engine oil, (KNP) Cooling, external transmission oil cooler, (Z82) Trailering equipment, heavy-duty, (UK3) Sound system feature, steering wheel mounted radio controls, (QR9) Wheels, 4 - 20" x 8.5", cast aluminum, chromed, 5-spoke, (QSS) Tires, P275/55R20, touring, blackwall, (ZAN) Tire, spare P265/70R17, blackwall and 17" Wheel, steel, spare

Not available with (ZY2) Paint, two-tone, (DPN) Mirrors, outside rearview, power adjustable, heated, manual folding and extending, (B2E) Silverado Limited Edition or any (SEO) Special Equipment Options.

Also the SS is only going to be available as a 2WD option.
SO, I wonder what the pricing is going to be on these options???? Basically, 3 extended cab trucks with the LQ9 engine in them.

Also they are showing different trim packages:
New Packaging Structure
1WT = Work Truck
1LS = LS
1LT = LT1 trim
2LT = LT2 trim
3LT = LT3

If your dealer actually has an order in with that RPO code then they should have a price on that option. My sources says the price was not yet availible as of last week.Did you get a price for that option?

This is exactly what my buddy did except he actually ordered a Titan
until I told him about this post. I swear this is exactly the same situation he was in except for ordering the Titan instead of the Z71. This may actually be the buddy I'm talking about (LJ is that you?) but was too ashamed to come on here and admit to ordering a Titan. If it is him, please guys don't give him too hard a time about the "other brand" truck! He is a good guy, was just a bit misguided!

yep its me LJ.... but you should know better than the titan thing.. you know i would jump over three titans to get to one chevy.... and do you think i would buy a titan and listen to all the **** you and johnny and andy would dish out.. shawn (dealer) did reorder the truck. he said that he would call next week when the first z71 came in if i wanted to see it.. now i just have to wait a bit longer. but whin i get the other one in, thats what im talkin bout.... HNIC...
