    lmao! the tune.

    that does suck for the customer. depending on the shop and money the customer has, it can get expensive for him to fight it.
    maybe they just bored the block out and put in 6L pistons

    Shop needs to be hung out to dry for trying to pull a fast one. Hey Allen, why can't you tell what size an engine is by the log file?

    2002 Lightning - GT headed 5.5Litre w/ Twin 7665s
    2002 Silverado - 427Lsx w/ Twin gt4202s
    2010 Silverado crewcab Z71 - 5.3litre w/ procharger
    2000 Wrangler - 5.3litre with some stance
    2014 Xsport- 3.5 Eco boost

    it ain't that I'm too big to listen to the rumors, It's just that I'm too damn big to pay attention to 'em..That's the difference

    haha, i honestly don't even remember all the tunes I do, don't know if it was a live tune or mail tune.
    sounds like it's running good for a 4.8L.

    Maybe it was a honest accident. Maybe somebody was grinding something and accident slipped and ground the all the markings off the motor. It could happen....maybe....kinda... Hell they could have had two motors sitting side by side and somebody slipped and got both motors. Then they accident put the wrong one in...
