    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.

    No, the Vortec 5.0 and 5.7 are GEN I

    Only the LT1, LT4. L99 (4.3L V8) and LT5 (this one is kind of iffy) are GEN II engines.
