8.1 Vortec ZF6 Silverado 2500HD walkaround and info

Love this bad beast. I'll add to this description later. Check back This is the elite 8100 vortec big block with the German ZF S6-650 6 speed manual. Only 3% of 8.1s were stick. 97% were pathetic automatic scum. The wifey picked it up in Colorado and drove it back to NY. Modded it with a complete chrome delete and color match. Raptor liner'd the plastic trim. Painted a set of PY0 wheels with Goodyear Duratracs. Added e-fans from a newer half ton. Tuned the computer with LS-Droid, TunerPro and an AEM wideband. Swapped in a dodge Cummins AAM 11.5 TracRite helical limited slip. I figured out how to put a 1500 Tahoe rear swaybar on with Beretta endlinks. My buddy boner did a video on it    • 2005 GMC Sierra 2500HD - DIY Rear Swaybar   Added n-fab nerf bars, a double din with backup camera, a 2wd low range switch.
