    Thats what I thought, And the only way to find out is to pull the head and see the pistons are flat or dished..

    no 5.3s came with a stick, either a motor swap or not a 5.3

    VERY VERY few 5.3 trucks did in fact come with a 5speed in '99 and '00 only. You'll have fun for about a week, they don't shift above 5 grand and if it doesn't have at least 3.73s the 2-3 change is just depressing. But still pull a plug and check
