Good stuff brother.....did you use the harness from the 6.0 or did you use your original harness & ecu then get it tuned? Was the first start up on the original 5.3 tune?
@@WrecklessGarage alright thanks a lot bro, never done a swap before so I’m confused. And the guy who sold me the motor insists that I need the harness and computer from the 6.0. Nice build tho btw very helpful videos
I have an 02 2x4 tahoe and a 2004 lq9 out of an 05 Denali and it's all wheel drive . Can you let me know what I'm going to have to do to put it in the 02 2x4 tahoe I have wiring harness from the Denali. What trans would be best over all easier for the swap
It's a direct swap just leave your harness and throttle body and whichever trans you want to use they're the same physically except maybe the neutral safety switch plug
Just take everything off your 5.3 and out in the 6.0 it's a direct swap easy peasy. Just needs a tune to optimize it at the end but I drove this for awhile on the 5.3 tune
I have a 4.8 in my 2004 Tahoe what all would I have to do to a 6.0 swap? And what year model 6.0 would be a easy swap for my 04 Tahoe. I was told the sensor on the motor would matter on me being able to do the swap
They're pretty much a direct swap just take your 4.8 flexplate off and put it on the 6.0 get it tuned and roll.i did drive mine without a tune for a bit
@@WrecklessGarage nice I got a 04 TAHOE and plan on doing this. I just got a rebuilt 60e and added a 40k cooler so I wanted to make sure I can use it still. Thanks for responding
@@WrecklessGarage lol yea I was jw I have a 05 tahoe with a 5.3 and I'm currently looking for another vehicle bcz driving this thing to and from work just drinks tf out of gas
Actually a viewer sent me some e85 injectors that I was gonna decap but I sold the Tahoe yesterday so they're gonna go in the nitrous s10 or turbo Silverado I just started on
That guy you got the motor from is a great guy. I’ve bought parts from him a couple of times
For sure he's a good guy ill deal with him again most definitely
good deal 6.0 swap went pretty good
I've got a 2011 2500 with a 6.0. Old farm truck. I thought about pulling the motor a swapping out my 4.8 in my 04 Tahoe
Next mod, Carolina squat?????
She'd be a 15k tahoe then in this market sadly lmao
Can I do this with 04 z71 without changing trans
Yes we didn't touch the transmission
how much did this whole swap cost from start to finish?
The engine cost the headers then the tuner everything else is still from the Tahoe so 2500 or under
Did you had to change the engine mounts from the 5.3 to the 6.0?
No
You have the stock 4l60e ? Planning from v6 to 6.0 lq9 swap my single cab. I have rebuilt 4l60e with 40k cooler not gonna be towing much tho
4l60e will work til it doesn't
What headers and y pipe did you buy? I'm getting ready to swap my 01 suburban
Speed engineering

He put harness and pcm from the donor truck in it
What did you do for the throttle sensors? I’m doing a 6.0 swap and my 5.3 is cable and the 6.0 is by wire
Just use the throttle body and wiring off the 5.3 everything interchanges

Did you re use the 6.0 flywheel or use the 5.3 flywheel .. just picked up a 6.0 for my 03 .
5.3 plate installed
Did you have to change anything? I’m doing a 2001 Yukon XL 6.0 into a 2003 Tahoe
Just take everything off your 5.3 and out in the 6.0 it's a direct swap easy peasy. Just needs a tune to optimize it at the end but I drove this for awhile on the 5.3 tune
@@WrecklessGarage thank you!
Just wondering how much did you spend with everything
I can't recall whatever the engine was plus headers gaskets seals and a tune
I got a set of flex fuel injectors and I'm in nc
What wld ya want for them and what part of NC?
@@WrecklessGarage Hillsborough nc and 20 bucks
@@jeremybrown93 that's about 150 miles away would you be willing to ship and if so do you have PayPal?
@@WrecklessGarage Whats your Facebook ill message you on there
Does it feel different from 5.3
Yes a good bit peppier
Was this originally a 5.3? If so what all was needed for the swap?
I wanna do this to mine. Is it a direct swap? Do you need the harness and ecu?
It's a direct swap just need the engine and reuse everything off your old engine

@@fredonthecuttzent.8405 you shld be good to go super easy swap too
How's the MPG the 5.3 already gets shit MPG to begin with lol
It definitely wasn't a gas sipper after this but I also don't have full size suvs for fuel economy.

Decap injectors?
