well im realy thinking about swaping my 4.8 out it dosent have enough power for me and im looking at get a 5.3 i would go 6.0 but gas mileage sucks . i havent been able to find one around here for a good price i wanted to get a 2006 one the same year as my truck if yall know anybody who gots one hit me up im in houston
Get rid of that programmer and get a nelson tune and ull get more power.
Nelson Performance - Performance without Sacrificing Drivability
i had the truck dyno with and with out the programmer and with out it it was 229 at the wheels and with it i was at 270
yea you will see an increase, but as stated programmers mess with very little in the motor. imagine what a true tune will do for you. i bet it gets right around 300 with the change over to tune.
well i guess i should sell it the only problem is i cant take the tune off of it right now cause i broke the programer so i wasnt sure if i had a custom tune would i have to buy a new programer and uninstall the tune thats on it right now
Thats not tru. Nelson will send you a new pcm and you just send them your old one.
about how long would you say it takes before i would get it back
I dont think you understand. THey send you a new one programmed and after you put theres in you have 30 days to send them your old one. Thus there is NO down time.
o ok i didnt understand you at first but now i got it do they need a list of your mod or anything like that
Yeah its all on the order form.
i think Gavin should start getting a paycheck from allen for all his advertising. :lol:

drive down airline dr or shepard and take a pik of an auto salvage . you can find them for about $500 . i bought one on friday for $300 it an 05 told him to remove coils, water pump, manifolds ,intake . all acc good luck
I wouldn't swap in a 5.3 from a 4.8. I did that, mostly cause i was in a pinch. There isn't enough of a power increase for the trouble and money.You would be better off with a Cam swap and a Stall converter. If thats not enough hit it with a little spray. Yeah and don't don anything with out getting a good tune ditch that high dollar calculator(programmer) Unless it on with a custom tune on it.Quote:

Everything will swap over
everything will swap over, 5.3 and 4.8 are identical blocks, you can use everything off your 4.8Quote:
