03 GMC needs a motor
Hey guys, I'm sure many of you have answered this question a million times. My 03 gmc sierra 1500 has a 5.3 and it has been abused and unmaintained for a long time. I'm losing coolant and I have a tick in the motor. I want to give it a little more power as I use it heavily on the farm and it gets pulled a lot.
Thanks
Thanks

Welcome to the site.
Find a 6.0 to drop in it and either use the 6.0 PCM or have your stock one flashed with 6.0 tune.
Or pull the 5.3 have it dipped and cleaned, put new rings and bearings in it and put it back together. Your call.

Still dealing on a motor, but bought a 6.0 pcm on ebay for $36.00. Did I get screwed?
