I didnt have any attitude. I both respect and appreciate both of your advice but thats not what I was asking. I was asking if it fits and would work and thats all. If no ones ever done it before how could you tell me its wrong or it wouldnt be good. You gotta find out first. Maybe I wanna be the first one to find out if 4.8 flat tops will work or not, who cares let me try. Jeeze guys all I did was ask a question and when you guys said "why dont you do this instead" I say no and you guys get all pissed off at me. I know you both have a lot of experience and I respect that but downplaying a question that I have just because you dont like Hyperteuctic pistons and because I "should" go forged because the motor will be better isnt what I am looking for when I ask a question. If I asked well if it wont work then which direction should I go then yeah by all means have at me with your advice or opinions but if someone doesnt ask for that you shouldnt just give it to them just because. Anyways thanks for your help and your answers. Guess Ill just have to find out myself then.
Btw Cody I know your name because its been listed under your avatar at least once before. How else would I have known it? Would you seriously rather have me call you 1slow01z71 in person if I met you or would you rather have me call you by your real name?

Ok guys after a small problem our thread is back!!!! ok who cares who said what..... lets get over it...
i never said It wouldnt work. i would love to try it but im broke... like i said if you goty teh extra money or better yet see if anyone on here has a used set you can try...
or talk to scoggin dickey or one of our sponsors and see if they can get you a good deal on them, and since they do alot of performance stufff, they may have already had soemone do that swap, and they may know.
Long story short, we have not tried it so we do not know whether it will work.

For anyone concerned. This thread is not!!!!! i repeat is not to give you special deals or selling parts of any kind!!!! we do not sell teh parts at all...
Me and bigredexpress Just wanna help you guys get teh right parts the first time. We work for GM so we both can lookup parts for you, but please realize as a GM employee I have worked with Gm performance division some, but as for swapping one engines internals to another to see if it will work is not what we do.
We are here as a reference... If you get a part number from us, at least you know it will be right, and you can take taht part number and get it from one of our sponsors. They will take care of you.

I was just trying to save you the work and money and try and guide you to a much better option that is all, if oyu want to put brittle pistons in your truck then go for it.
And how the **** do all these people on here know my first name, people I have never talked to via PM/phone etc always seem to know my name I dont have slightest clue who they are.

I dunno ddue... all i know is i am trying to help people find something for their trucks/vehicles, and they take taht to mean i will know what combinations will work.... ive neevr seen anyone put a 4.8 piston in a 5.3
but hey it mioght work it might not..... the best way to find out is if you got the extra cash just chance it....
personally i got better ways to spend my money..... and im not trying to dog anyone for trying something new, but when we say we will look up something for your vehicle please understand I may engineer parts here all day long, tht doesnt mean im gonna know how an engine will react or what teh clearances will be on a 99 5.3 with a 4.8 piston....
hell the cad designs for any engine pare before 02 is not even in my computer anymore. tahts why i told him im not sure....
I dunno i try to do something nice for people and all you get is attitude when you try to help...
