@swathdiver you seem to know a good bit. I have a 07 tahoe. Flex fuel ly5 I believe. If I have a 2015 l85 with trans and ecu can I swap it or would I need to change other things. I ask because I have a good deal on one. Also my other question leads to my othee option. I want to get rid of afm. What engine is non afm version of my ly5? Or what engine in the 07-14 LS lineup can I swap direct or maybe swap my intake and such. TIA

Well, tell me this: do you have the 2014s engine wiring harness and computer?  If so, keep VVT.  If not, leave it disconnected, won't throw a code when using your original harness and ECM.

 

VVT was good for a solid 1 MPG and broadened the torque band, brought in peak torque about 400 rpms sooner.

So my mechanic has put the 2014 engine in my 07 yukon and he is saying it wont crank up and its not compatible. We are not using the donor harness or computer since i didnt buy that. Is there any reason why it wouldnt crank up?

 does it even try?

 

 

also check the VLOM bolts might sure they are nice and snug(sometimes they roll out loose from the factory)  there was electrical changes for the 2010 model  that is why they have VVT (way better emissions output compared to non vvt models)(NO2)

 

that is why you buy the computer and harness

Sorry fellas, I had signed off for a while, was busy with work.

 

LY5 is not a FlexFuel motor.  The L85 system is completely different and would probably not talk to your BCM or Cluster.  Your LY5 does not have VVT, which was introduced on the 5.3s in 2010.  You can pin and reflash your EC38 to use it, delete it, or get an EC38 that has VVT on it already.  The first few years of the 6.0 L96 are FlexFuel motors and do not have AFM but do have VVT.  The L9H is a 6.2 without AFM and has VVT. 

 

The LH8 was used in vans and some pickups, it has an aluminum block and did not have AFM or VVT, it was available in 2008 and 2009 only according to my research.  It was a FlexFuel motor.  Check out Summit Racing's library on LS engines.

Well, that's not correct but I reckon you have it sorted out by now.  Any update since?

Hello there, I’m hoping I found the right forum here. I have a a 2009 Chevy suburban and am trying to figure out what year 5.3 short blocks are compatible with it? I will be deleting the AOD/DOD on it but would like to reuse heads and all accessories.  Thank you for any help fellas.

So I have a 2007 Chevy tahoe with 5.3 engine I couldn’t afford brand new engine so I bought a motor from a friend that says the motor is a 5.3 that came out of a Tahoe year model 2002-2004 will this interchange with my motor? Wondering if I will have to delete the afm? Or will it work without having to delete ?

      Because that is IDIOTIC, much like this question. They've already been forced to do it by past administrations - why would you roll that back when it's a GOOD thing?  WHO IS ARGUING FOR LOWER MILEAGE???? 😂  NOBODY IS!!   I'm certainly not! What I want is RELIABLE vehicles again that are worth the price paid!    I don't get your logic here ...   In 2003 I paid $2,200 for our '86 Grand Marquis. It's STILL running and I've never been inside the engine, aside for the timing cover since it was leaking, so I threw a new timing set in since that makes sense. Transmission is ORIGINAL. Electric pump in the gas tank is ORIGINAL. Rear end is ORIGINAL. I'd have to hit my head REAL hard to want to pay $60k or more for a car that still can't come close to the comfort, seating and storage space, or reliability of this one. Nothing is even in the ball park! Hundreds of thousands of brands and models have been built and sent to the crusher while this one keeps on going!   https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   I've got a whole fleet of cars, motorcycles, and a truck close to this age for summer and winter. No one could pay me enough to buy anything built this century. I have zero use for any it.

      Since I'm the one who has to fix them when they break, I'll take vehicles over 30 years old all day, EVERY day, over ANY modern crap. Have you attempted any repairs on anything built after 2006? It's a friggin nightmare, and gets worse the newer the model year.    If I had the will or desire, I can make any car of any age outside of a Model T (I don't have THAT much will ...) just as powerful, comfortable, and have all the tech the new stuff does, and get pretty close in mileage, too. I prefer SIMPLICITY. The less the vehicle has, the less to fix WHEN it breaks, not IF.   I'm glad you snot-nosed punks don't like them. More for us, plus that keeps the prices from climbing more than they already have.👍

      Bringing this thread back on topic. I just noticed the incredible lack of bright chrome across the entire new lineup. Even the Denali has tinted the brightwork in the grille and has none elsewhere. None of them have chrome bumpers. As far as I can tell there aren't even chrome mirror caps. I'm curious if this also happens out back? Are there no chrome rear bumpers either? This is quite the departure for GMC.
