    5.3 donor motor preferred year range

    again, thank you to all. Appreciate the conversation and feedback. Hoping to be posting in here one day about my own swap. I fully intend on freshening up the engine from the donor truck, whatever that may be. I just want to get all my ducks in a row. Definitely going to be a long term...

    5.3 donor motor preferred year range

    Thanks for the feedback, yall! My intention is to keep the 5.3 relatively, if not ALL stock. I'm just wanting the performance upgrade over my old, tired 200k+ miles 5.7 and the reliability as well. Hoping to find a complete donor truck when the time comes, that way I can utilize the engine...

    5.3 donor motor preferred year range

    with consideration to transmissions, mine being a 2wd 4l60e, does that present any known issues in mating to the L33 engine? The link states the L33 was only available in 1/2 ton 4x4 equipped silverados/sierras. Not sure if there's going to be any significant difference between 2wd and 4wd...

    5.3 donor motor preferred year range

    Anyone have any input on what year model 5.3L gm motor would be best suited to swap into my 98 OBS? Just curious if any particular year range is better than others. I'm very unfamiliar with the intricacies of the 5.3's, I know little about them. Thanks in advance for any feedback you can provide...

    The Stupid Engine Questions Thread

    I've got what will likely be a stupid question for you fellas. (I'm pretty limited in terms of knowledge when it comes to engines, engine codes blah blah blah) So here goes. . . . What the HELL are all the different L** number/combos when talking about the 6.0L engine? ? is it an LS engine...

    The Build of My $200 Dollar Truck

    lookin good! I was so inspired by this build thread, I finally pulled my dented, peeling, ugly tailgate off and am getting it painted. Lol. WIsh I could say I'm doing the work myself, but I have no skills. Benefits of working at a collision repair shop and taking excellent care of my guys...

    Chevy Lean

    My 98 C1500 has got the good ole Chevy lean. I imagine its far past time to replace the leaf springs, since I have 169k on the clock now. Any alternative parts that are worth consideration, or just stick to OE leaf springs? Previous owner installed helper springs on the rear, that I will...

    DRL options

    on my 98 C1500, I simply pulled the fuse so as to not have my HID headlamps burning all day as the daytime running lamps. What I would LIKE to do, but dont have the savvy brain to figure out, is be able to wire a set of LED running lamps in as my DRL's instead of the headlamps. Anyone ever...

    New LED vs HID headlights?

    sorry to drag up the past... but how would one do a projector Retrofit? I really like the HID's I have, but would love a better light pattern in front of me. Mine are installed in factory headlamps, designed for Halogens. All the "projector" headlamps available for sale sketch me out, not sure...

    LED Headlight Set

    I’m currently HID low and halogen hi as well. Will have to see how the 4hi looks when I get it installed. Hoping the HD harness will help out with my HID output as well

    LED Headlight Set

    I will admit, I’m a sucker for the HID or LED look. I wish they would perform as well as they look to me. The halogens are just “boring” to me. Lol.
