Thanks for the info guys

 

I think I'm going go do some research and get to the bottom of exactly when the 4.8 cranks manual cranks were all short. I'm pretty sure it happend when they swapped to the Tremec tr3450 trans. I think it was somewhere in the 2001-2004 range.

 

What were you talking about exactly? $100 shipped and a free Vortec engine cover?

 

I see how it is brain. Im just the other guy now LOL just kiddin man Im having second thoughts on sellin my crank but I might still want to buy an engine cover.

someone just sell me a boat anchor

 

with all the 6.0 swaps going on out there you cant tell me there is not someone willing to sell me a 4.8 crank for 100.00 shipped. Its a Boat Anchor folks, betting in my race truck than your garage floor!

 

I'm guessing a 5.3 crank is different...I have one of those if they are the same.

 

I'll sell you mine Brian, but like I said I got to pull it out of the motor. Don't laugh, but how the heck do I remove the flywheel w/out the crank turning on me?? Jamb a screwdriver in there?

 

You should be able to shock the bolts loose. Do you have air tools?

 

No, but I can borrow some from my friend. I'll see what I can do.
