They arent easy to find with a 5.3. Most people with them like em enough to keep them around. But worth looking for. How performance minded are you? normal bolt-ons or perhaps cam etc?

I have other stuff that is performance oriented so I'd like to keep performance mods to a minimum on this truck. It will be a daily driver to get to work and back. I'd like it to have a little pep when needed, but it wouldn't be that important. I wouldn't really want to give up any gas mileage for extra performance. A 4.8 would probably be faster than the Ford truck I was driving. And the Ford was doing a great job getting me to work and back (until the motor locked up).

I haven't looked at the Ford to see what happened, but it was obviously a major failure. If I had to guess I'd say it may have dropped a valve.

The joy about the LS trucks, I DD'd the white truck in my sig up to two days ago. Got approx 17 mpg with stall, cam, gears and full bolt ons. As long as you dont get crazy with it you can do alot and still dd

I agree. The LS motors perform really well and still get good gas mileage. That's why I want to switch to one for my daily driver.
