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?

 

I think its '99 I know they did make some vortec 350's a couple years before that.

 

ya it is 99 for the sierra and 01 or 02 for the yukon.

 

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.

 

Or Denali...

 

99 for silverados and sierras. in 00 they came out with the 5.3 tahoe/suburban/yukon and still made the 350 body style that year as well.

 

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.

 

it's always the 8th digit. the 5.3 is "T" or "Z" depending the vehicle. i dont know about the 6.0. maybe "U"....?????
