Hell, an LQ4 is usually around 800 - 1k... let alone an LQ9

The TBSS actually have the aluminum block LS2. The LQ9 was also found in certain Escalades.

Found out the whole scoop on this motor. The truck belonged to a shop owner. It was his personal vehicle. He had a oil cooler line that he bought from Napa burst. He shut the truck down as soon as the oil light came on. Apparently he spends 10-20 thousands on parts threw Napa per month. He put alot of pressure on them and they gave him a rebuilt motor to replace it.
