Does he like green?

Road King Cole 02-05-2013 10:25 AM
yes, for some reason (which I completely don't understand), he likes green.

I had to run to the store tonight and I now rememeber the one thing I REALLY hate about barn doors, theres no wiper on them. I live on a dirt road, so my BURB is always dusty. And everytime we get a light rain forget about seeing out the back.

what was the first year of the 5.3? was it 2000 or 2001? heard it was a good motor.

THEFERMANATOR 02-08-2013 10:54 AM
The 4.8 and 5.3L came out late 99 in the newer body style TAHOE, 99 in the new style 1500 pickups, and 2000 for the SUBURBAN. The 4.8 and 5.3 are both great engines, and get good fuel milage(probably a good 10-20% better than the last 5.7L engines did with a good bit more HP). I would shoot for one around 02 or so as that was when GM got the HP up, and most of the improvements done to them before they redesigned them in 07.

My 02 4.8 1500 got about 14 mpg,
my 09 1500 5.3 got 16 to 17 mp,
Now the new to me 02 Tahoe 4.8 got 14 mpg
But that was a 1/4 tank of gas when I refilled cause we were getting this snow storm. so I will see what it gets again when using a little more.

If had to do it again I would look for one with the 5.3 the power is very noticeable.

mj, you ought to be getting better than that. maybe after you clean the throttle body, it'll improve.

The difference isn't so much the 4.8 VS 5.3, it was the 02 VS an 09. There was ALOT of changes made to the LS engines in 07, and your 09 may have even had teh 6 speed trans in it which also REALLY helps the milage out. The 4.8L is a good engine, but it does take quite a few more RPM's to get going than the 5.3L does.
