I have been doing a little searching online and I have found 2001 escalades with the 345 hp 6.0 which I thought wa the lq9

 

Have them give you the Vin# it came out of

 

The LQ9 wasnt out then. Thats all there is to it. It rolled out in 02 in the Escy. Sounds to me like that seller is misleading you a tad.

Make that seller yank one of the heads off. If it has a dished piston, its an LQ4. If its flat, then it is an LQ9 and he just has his model years messed up.

 

thats what I am trying to figure out, I havent paid for it yet and I have heard from the seller yet. I really dont care if it's a lq4 or lq9 as long as it is a 6.0. Some one had made the mention that GM did not even make an Escalade in 01. I found very few titles on a google search on the 01 but I have found some. So I really don't know what to do. I don't want to get any type of negitive feedback but I also don't want to get screwed either.

 

If you can get the vin# you can tell by the eigth digit.

V = 4.8
T = 5.3
U = 6.0 LQ4
N = 6.0 LQ9

 

If I could get the seller to contact me it would really ease my mind
