5.7 Or 5.3, And Pickup Questions

[win]

which one do you like better? or good and bad point of both.

I am looking to buy a 99 or 00 ck1500 or ck2500 ex-cab 4x4 shortbed with an auto.

Or mayby a crewcab shortbed 4x4 with auto. I do not know when they came out the the cd1500 in a this model? I really would like to have a cd 1500 or cd2500 4x4 in the true 4 door pickup.

Can you tell me when they came out the the quad cab silveraudo? what year they made the 1500 4 door?

what year they started putting the vents in the consol for the back seat? My 1995 gmc 1500 did not have them.

Is their a year that was better than another or worse?

thanks again. new to chevy and gmc

Heck, I believe it was 2004 before they made the 1500 crew cab. I could go out to the garage and look at my old brochures, but right now I'll stand pat..

That is true but I thought he was talking crew cab, sorry. I had a senior moment. Lost my ability to read.

Reading his post it does seem like he was referring to the "crew cab" model and not the extended cab w/ 4 doors. My 02 has the a/c vent in the console blowing to the rear but I have no clue what year it came out. BTW, what's a cd1500?

A C designation is a 2wd, a K is a 4wd. I'm not sure they even use those designations once you cross over into the 800 series though.

They are are still used in the VIN to designate 2 and 4 wheel dr. at least through GMT800. I havn't looked lately but maybe even into GMT900

 

Yeah its still in there...

They are two completly different engines, but in my opinion yes.

thanks again

That HD, the crew cab plane ole 1500 with the short bed wasn't made till 2004. (I'm still hoping it wasn't 2003, I havn't looked it up yet)

5.3 over the 5.7 the 5.7 has nice low end torque but hell do you want the hot newer motor or the old crotchety motor?
