Default First year of 5.3 and 6.0 engines?

What is the first year of the 5.3 and 6.0 engines in the Yukon and Sierra? Also do you have to get a Yukon XL to get a 6.0?

Thanks for the quick responses. Do either of you know if you can get the 6.0 in a regular Yukon or does it have to be a XL?

Actually I think the only 6.0 in a yukon would have to be 3/4 ton.

let me rephrase that more clearly. in 99 and 00 they made the 4.8/5.3/6.0 1500/2500 silverado and the old body style CK pickup. in 00 they made the 4.8/5.3 SUV and the old body style SUV. in 01 they came out with the 2500HD and 3500 as well as the duramax and 8.1L big block.

That is great info and I really appreciate it. Just one last question what is the VIN ID and position in the VIN for the 5.3 and 6.0? Thanks again for the help.
