Daryl Z71's 2006 Silverado Z71 Re-build

Daryl LBZ · January 28, 2015

Ordered these from 4wheelparts.com. Got the set for $472.96. Not a bad deal in my opinion.

They look good, that's an upgrade I want to do my Tahoe....looking at 18 inch take offs of the newest gen trucks though. Edited January 31, 2015 by cobrajet84

Daryl what are your plans powertrain wise?

As of right now I'm thinking of buying a used L33 5.3 with under 100k miles, and putting in a new oil pump, rear main seal, oil pan gasket, knock sensors and intake gaskets. Then swapping it into the truck.

Just out of curiosity why not lq9 or lq4

Chris · January 31, 2015

LQ4 is easier to find and offers 10 more HP off the shelf than an L33 does, plus has more potential

How about l59. Its kinda nice to see peoples faces when you put corn juice in your gas guzzler and peel out with them watching you leave the gas station [emoji4]

Is the LQ4 a 6.0?

Chris · January 31, 2015

Yes, found in Denali suvs, and hd pickups

02suburbanZ71 · January 31, 2015

Really? The lq4 went in denali but lq9 went in escalade? I dont get why they would do that

I thought the same thing. I thought the LQ4 was just for the pickup trucks (excluding the Silverado SS)?

I think I'm okay with the 5.3 for now, it actually runs pretty good. I was going to run the original motor until it died, but the fuel mileage is terrible right now. If I get a four wheeler I'd like to get better mileage since I'll be driving a decent distance to go ride it.
