Huge problems and don't know what to do!!!!!
I have a 2009 Chevy Silverado with the 5.3 motor. I just recently blew the motor and needing to get the cheapest fix possible so I can trade it into the dealership and get something else.can I just throw a 4.8 motor in there and be just fine? I need the cheapest fix possible
|
Don't think a dealership would take it if has blown motor. But what wrong with it?
|
they look the same on the outside so a 4.8 would do it
|
Put some thick oil mixed with Holy water .. dilute 52:1
|
Yea, you can toss in a 4.8. The tune will need to be adjusted for it. What happened to the 5.3.
|
Lifters collapsed and destroyed the cam. Doing a cam swap was an option till i priced everything
|
so you are wanting to throw in a 4.8 and trade it in?? I understand that money being tight can be an issue, but tossing in a motor that didnt come
with the truck, trading it in and letting it be someone elses problem isnt a much better idea, kind of shitty IMO. What exactlly happened to it? was it a stock motor or modded? I have a few stock cams that i would be happy to send one of them if it would help you out. |

honestly bud its simple. Pulling the heads isnt difficult, swapping lifters, ect. There are plenty of us on here that are willing to answer any questions you have. hell I know there are a few boys in OK that will probably lend you a hand. as far as not having room, that does suck.

Yea there are a couple of guys around here. I am just not to happy about having to do something like this it really does scare me. The only reason I am considering that it is a cam is beacuse it makes a chirping noise at idle. I was reading a service bulliton like what we get at the motorcycle dealership I work at, and it was saying that if you are hearing a chearping it usually means your cam is gone. I personally don't think it is a lifter because It would be making a lot of noise wouldn't it?
