2007 GMC Sierra gave up the ghost

[GeorgeG.]

Looks like my truck gave up the ghost this morning...


I'm trying to embed a video from my FB but can't seem to figure it out.

Cool story, I know Stay tuned cause when I figure that out, I need to know your thoughts on whether or not it's top end or bottom end.

[GeorgeG.]

well this is going well. Here's my FB link, I just made it public.

Ouch.

Assuming it has good oil pressure, the oil looks okay and it's not misfiring that could be a carbon knock. I'd try some seafoam and see what happens.

I'd also run it without the belts to make absolutely sure it's not an a/c compressor, tensioner or something else stupid.

[GeorgeG.]

Seafoam in the oil or gas...or vacuum?

I can remove the belt really quick to rule that out, good suggestion.

oh damn! What else would be needed to make this work? New computer? Tune?

[KBScobravert]

Time for an LS swap.

Time for an LS swap.

Well technically it kinda is already an LS...but yeah maybe time for a BIG LS.

[GeorgeG.]

Anyone have any links for this kind of swap? Do I need the harness, ECM, mounts, tune? I'm off for two week at spring break so I have to do something....either reman 5.3 or used 6.0.

What sucks is it's been a long ass time since I've pulled an engine.

If you've already got a 5.3, grab a 6.0 of the same generation or year. Should be super simple. Most of your stuff can be reused I believe.

whats the oil PSI?

[naynay]

and stop starting it!

I was just looking some of that up. Looks like your first link is pre-2007 (Classic). 6.0 engines for my year jumps up in cost by a lot...still looking though

Paging DJ...can you hook a brutha up?
