Default Need Advice

Right now I have a 05 ECSB with 5.3 Flex Fuel. I have been thinking about swapping to a 6.0, But I don't want to loose the Flex Fuel. Besides the extra HP from the 6.0 what other benefits are there from a 6.0

More power....how is that not THE benefit?

The only thing that makes it flex fuel is the alcohol sensor in the tank, bigger fuel pump, and bigger injectors. Basically has nothing to do with the engine since you can reuse your 5.3 intake. Upgrading the injectors and fuel pump later will also not affect you having flex fuel.

Yea he pretty much hit the nail on the head there. Truck would run good considering it's on a halfton frame and not a three quarter.
