04 blew up what now

[Amaster]

4L80e. So what blew, the engine?

Swap a junkyard 6.0 engine and keep on trukin' would be my vote.

It's ours so I've thought about putting a 5.3 in it and calling it a day that's still a lot of work.

Isn't swapping in a 6.0 pretty much as much work as swapping in a 5.3?

"you broke it, you bought it!" comes to mind.

Should be all the same--4.8, 5.3 and 6.0.

Edit Well we found out that our trust worthy local mechanic that will rebuild the engine. So after the holidays are over we're going to get back here.

I would say that but 5.3 are a lot easier to find.

No doubt you are happy with your mechanic choice but, how was it determined that he/she is trustworthy? Recommended by friends? Have you checked for certifications and reviews?

Gotcha. They are pretty plentiful down here.

I'd think 4.8's would be more plentiful since no one really wants those. That makes them cheaper too.
