Your 2001 5.3L is a GEN III.
That VIN is just an unfortunate coincidence, the first 4 digits are country and manufacturer codes. The 1 just means it was made in the US.
One piece rear seal is a horrible way to ID them anyway. There are one piece rear seals in all generations.
Well i called the local dealership to ask about the Generation and they were clueless.. *L* Hey yall thanks for all the help..
