Replying to: blkhemi (Jan 09, 2006 6:18 pm) Thanks for the response; just for my understanding one has to select the 4WD in the Trailblazer meaning it justs adds weight and cost. In normal conditions one would still drive it as a 2WD. Am just not that familiar with 4WD having driven cars only. Replies to this message: blautens (Jan 17, 2006 1:13 pm)

Replying to: blkhemi (Dec 14, 2005 12:57 pm) Picked up my Black SRT on Jan. 5th, it is a nice complement to my black wrangler. I absolutely love it and am very happy that I got it. I was close to going with an 06 limited, which would have been nice, but my heart about stopped when I saw my SRT sitting on the lot, ready to go. In 12 days, I have roughly 1000 miles on it. Just can't get enough drive time. My buddy, who has a Porsche Cayenne, rode with me through town and said "no fuckin way would I even dare race you". Just an unbelievable car.

Replying to: vanschaikm (Jan 14, 2006 6:39 am) No, the TBSS is AWD, not a selectable 4WD system. Typically one refers to a system as AWD instead of 4WD when there is no selectable low range and it is always driving all 4 wheels, although the torque division is usually variable using a number of different methods to decide how much torque to send to a particular wheel.   That being said, I have a 2WD TBSS - because sometimes burnouts are just plain fun.

Replying to: blautens (Jan 01, 2006 11:18 am) any more info on the tbss pcm and cai to replace the factory cai? Replies to this message: blautens (Feb 10, 2006 1:57 pm)

Replying to: kcarfan (Jan 29, 2006 6:00 pm) Yes, I just installed my PCM from Vector Motorsports. They also have a prototype CAI, should be available late this month.   The TBSS was fast before, but it's unbelievable now. Everyone who's run at drag strips before and after are getting a solid .5 off their 1/4 miles (running consistent 13.5's) with this tune. Can't recommend it enough - even better gas mileage!
#124 of 166 Jeep SRT vs TB SS by jeepster9 Feb 11, 2006 (1:50 pm)
I can't wait to run one and just see how they run. A great Engine for Sure.(TB SS) My 6.1 Hemi has a lot left in it too, at least 600 hp with the right tune. The drive train will take a lot punishment and no problems with the 6.1 Hemi yet. A local man runs his 300C SRT-8 all the time and runs side by side with a C6 Vette auto. Stock engine just removes some fuses and runs 13.4 ET (best) He runs rear DRs and just smokes the tires before a run. Both Great Vehicles in my Book and has a lot of potential left in them. I would love to see the LS-7 Engine installed in the TB. Good Racing. Gene Replies to this message: blautens (Feb 16, 2006 6:51 am)

Replying to: jeepster9 (Feb 11, 2006 1:50 pm) I think that would be fun...lots of TBSS owners going to track so far - lots of slips being submitted. So far the posted times for owners of the 2WD TBSS with the Vector PCM has been consistent 13.5's with one 13.38 at 104 MPH. I think it's going to be as much fun as my '96 Impala SS was.

Replying to: blautens (Jan 01, 2006 8:46 pm) how are the brakes on the ss tb? does the ss package have upgraded brakes over the straight six? edmunds lists vented rotors front and back for the six cylinder tb but it doesn't list rotor size and i know from other ss models, chevy didn't upgrade the brakes from the standard power plants.
