Short block purchase

[swathdiver]

I think you guys have convinced me to look onward. Should I start a new advise post or put it in this one? Basically knowing I have a non deleted 11 LC9 with 184ish k miles and a repeated number 8 misfire that comes and goes after plug replacement what are my next steps. Buy a stock 6.0 for a little more power, get another 5.3 and rebuild it?

I would find out why #8 is misfiring. Proper diagnostics will reveal that. I doubt you need a whole new motor.

That’s the plan moving forward.

Can’t find the procedure @dojetman did? Is there a link?

Slight misspelling in his username. I'll correct here and see if we can raise the genie. @donjetman

That’s the plan moving forward.

Combustion chamber/piston soak, install pressure relief valve deflector, install catch can, and install new improved driverside valve cover as perscribed in GM technical service bulletin: https://f01.justanswer.com/ebrock63...il+Consumption,+MIL+ON,+Engine+Runs+Rough.pdf
also
do a search here with my user name and find all the threads I did back in late 2018.

you're not around Saginaw are you? there a guy a few threads up that's probably about to sell off a hybrid with a aluminum 6.0 in it that most likely has very little wrong with it but a broken exhaust manifold bolt and a oil pressure sensor. for less then your guy wanted for a 5.3 with a cam.
these forums are rough to read sometimes.

I’m close enough if the deal is right

he posted he's selling it, or donating it.

2008 GMC Yukon 1/2 ton SL hybrid for sale by owner - Saginaw, MI - craigslist

First, let me talk you out of this vehicle. 230,000 total miles. Engine does not hold oil pressure - most likely needs new engine. Hail damage from Texas hail storm. Typical cracked dashboard of GMC...

saginaw.craigslist.org

probably best to pm him. you can probably sell the tranny as they don't repair them anymore and the hybrid battery is fresh. I'd say it would sell quickly too, just to hard to ship a 100lb battery. so that is only if you find someone that needs it.

if I was local, I'd buy it.
