So ive been looking at a couple 6.0 engines and I know Id be better off with 03 and up but what I dont know is that does it have to come out of a 1500 series pickup or would a 2500hd, 3500 Van, engine work becuase most engines im finding are pick outs from 3500 series vans. If someone could clear this up for me.Thx Ben
I would think any 03 will work.
so if i bought one from an 03 3500hd it will work
another one i found had no oil pan do you know of any reason it would come with it?
3500 6.0 should work someone correct me if I am wrong. I would stay away from any motor that did not come with an oil pan. Make sure you get one from some worthy company like LKQ
Don't buy one without an oil pan from a salvage yard. It may have been sold seperately but I'd steer clear of it.
ok thx i found one from a 3500hd 23k miles and they want 1500.00 does that sound right?
:thumb:
eh, i bought a 6.0/80e combo back in november for $1200. sold the trans for $850 and the engine for $1500. shop around, there are deals;)
see if u can find me one like that in mrytle beach matt id be glad to come get it
i found that one in FL...i'll keep my eye out
Something you may or may not know is that 2500, 3500 truck engines may have a different crank (they have thicker flanges if they do for use w/ the 4L80E). Just something to think about.
why, is that?Quote:

myrtle beach is da shiznit. I went there, columbus, and fort jackson.
Unless you know exactly why the pan was pulled I'd just steer clear. It may be because there was a noise and they investigated it and failed to re-install the pan. How was the engine stored, on a stand? Without the oil that was in it still being in there, how can you check the oil condition? No smell test, no sample test able to be run by a lab, who knows the truth about what went on with the engine. They may have just pulled the pan to sell it seperately but its not worth the risk to me unless they sell it to you for about $500 for the risk or they give you a 90 day warranty active from the day the engine starts in your conversion, not the day it leaves their yard.
im with red on this one. People will scam you for peanuts nowadays. or they just dont care.
ive gotten mine out of an 04 escalade, with very little miles on it, didnt all escalades come with the LQ9's? or was it 04 and up?Quote:

I saw some from LKQ and was concerned about their feedback overall was good but 25 negatives in the last month makes you wonderQuote:
