2004 Silverado crew cab

yes you can. i have actually seen crew 4.3s.

Orly?

Check it real close for any leaks or noises from the transfer case. Those NP8s are notorious for the pump wearing a hole through the case. Otherwise they are one of the most reliable vehicles on the road.

Thanks. The truck is spotless except the drivers seat. One of the cleanest I have found for its age. I will post pics after I pick it up Friday. Went into 4hi and 4low with no issues.

Wow that's shotty. Ford won't make a crew 4x4 with a 6cylinder and I figure gm would have the same approach.

I had a crew cab 4x4 4.8 with 3.42 gears... It was a pig. And plenty of them exist.

Hmm wonder if they were a special order. All the online sources I looked at said 5.3 only in crew with 4x4.

I think a lot of people think they have 4.8s, when they really have 5.3s.

You sure about that?

Not gas, at least.

I'll let you drive mine, I bet your opinion changes.

I had one I assure you... They offered lots of them in 07 with the old body style, 4x4 floor shift, cloth split front bench, and texas edition wheels.

Test drive it felt fine so I went with it and suffered through it for 100k miles.

I'm dumb. Next one was a 6.2

Peronally for that kind of coin, look for a VHO or SS. The 6.0 is 10x better and fuel economy is about the same, even a 06-07 vmax

Must be why they bumped the 4.8 to around 300hp in 07.

I would have said 6cylinder with turbo

That is the next generation... 07 was first year. So I wonder if that is the first year they did his that. Does not appear to be an 04 option.

Not interested in the HD 1500 from 04 with the 6.0. Likely couldn't find one with the history, miles, crew, 4x4, and condition for 12.5. I could flip this truck for a couple $k in a week if I wanted up here.

I am not sure how it could be 10x more reliable as they are great platforms already. And I don't have redneck interest of making a 4x4 truck fast.

That generation 6.0 is also pretty well known to have oil consumption problems. I believe they revised the valve cover, then the PCV and finally just wrote a TSB saying it's normal.

It didn't really hurt anything but most people don't like adding 2-3 quarts of oil between changes.
