    Bought core block

    I dropped the block and crank off at the machine shop. While I was there one of the guys checked it with a mic. Said the crankshaft is good and will take standard bearings but just needs to be polished. No freeze plugs the screw ins should be fine. So the shop is doing cam bearings and checking...

    Bought core block

    Most of the journals looked pretty good but there was one in question where I could feel just a slight roughness running my finger across it. And the area on the rear of the crankshaft where the rear main seal goes around is questionable. I forgot about Summit guys I havnt used that site since...

    Bought core block

    Seeing that I need a convertor ill be using this engine in another car and look for a 07+ 6.0.. When purchasing this 5.3 block I totally forgot about the relocations of the sensors. But it my tahoe engine fails I will sure keep this in mind.

    Bought core block

    I felt it was a good deal I got everything except for the wiring harness and computer. Came with a engine stand. Over the last couple of nights Ive removed the heads, camshaft, pistons and crank. None of the bearings seem to spun everything looked good for a high mileage engine. Im going to drop...

    Bought core block

    Could this block be possibly 2006 because of the last digit I was trying to decode this so I can tell which year but not finding much info?? The number below tells me its a 4.8l / 5.3l block 99-06

    Bought core block

    Today I jumped the gun and bought a shortblock 5.3 included that seems to be from the 99-06 generation that I was going to rebuild just for a backup to go in a 2008 tahoe. The guy I purchased it from said it ran but burned oil due to high mileage.Im able to turn the engine by hand so thats a...

    2008 tahoe Silent Misfire

    Well over the weekend I got tired of seeing the engine light so I scanned the tahoe and got a P0455. I checked around looking for leaks in the evap system but couldnt find any. I remember replacing the evap valve on the left side of the intake manifold with a autozone brand and remember it came...

    Water pump failed

    I picked up the dorman 800-409 from Ol'reily. Tried to see if it would connect on the left tube but I couldnt get it to click but I didnt try the tube on the right side.. I looked at autozone and both the silverado and tahoe use the same heater core.. So the 800-409 should work unless it only...

    Water pump failed

    Looks like Im going to have to buy longer heater hoses from water pump to heater core. the hoses are too short to reach the heater core.. I was unable to find a connector that has the white clip inside will this one here work?
