thats because the 2005 is an enigma, GM was in to much of a hurry to intro the C6, it's half C5 half c6 neither half done very well some came with 4 speed auto's some with 6. it has a computer system ALL it's own.

I don't know what the website currently says but, I had a COW booster on my previous 2005 car. I'll have a new one installed at SEMA this year...(If it is still available...)

Are you saying some 2005 cars came with 4 speed autos and some came with 6 speed autos...or just 6 speeds.
To the OP...there was a 3:15 performance rear axle available and I suspect you don't have it. Check the glove box (does anyone keep gloves in there?) for a list of options. Also, make sure the trans is starting out in 1st gear...could be a prob there.

Say whaaaat? I'm sure you are generalizing when you say half and half...perhaps the front engine/rear trans from the C5 is the half?

Hey Guys. Sorry I've been absent from the forum last week or so....
Been trying to get some second, third, etc opinions on some medical stuff....
Will be loading the truck and headed for Charlotte on WEDNESDAY afternoon and will be there Thurs morning
READY FOR ACTION. I won't be able to fly having to take as much crap as I need, so I'm gonna take one for the
team and make the drive. Will save lots of strain on my neck and back no to hump that equipment all thru the
airports and such. Just gonna make the 10.5 hr road trip and bring more cool stuff!
I'll be in the office some time after the doctor's appointment Tuesday at 2pm and will be there all night for
anyone that needs to communicate with me.
Looking forward to this one!
Here I come!
