Motor replace cost?

[username]

Found a deal on a 2004 GMC Sierra z71 with a 5.3L about a year ago. Son's 16th is approaching and I figured that would do for him. Currently getting some bad ju-ju from it and suspect a engine replace/rebuild is in the future.

Anyone have recent experience on what that will cost? Having it towed to repair shop tomorrow.

Pull out from the junk yard and roll.

I mess their cheesy old commercials they use to have on the Houston Tv channels.

How many miles on the motor? Those 5.3s will get to 250+ if taken care of

if you can do the work yourself it will be cheap. You can get a good junk yard engine for a good price

Just a note, a motor is electrical, an engine is gas.

An engine is in front of a train or in a fire house. A motor is a motor.

Not too expensive to replace you can get an ls 5.3 for a couple hundred bucks or a 6.0 for about $1200, work is fairly easy to do if your tech savvy. If you want to rebuild it’s gonna cost you a little more with parts and la or depending what needs to be done to it

Whats the bad Ju JU?

And a replacement is a lot cheaper than another truck more than likely

The 5.3L in a Tahoe my wife had years ago gave up at 100k miles. I called around Houston and found several places where low mileage replacements were available for cheap. I believe I paid $1200 installed for an engine with 44k miles and a small warranty. The swap out isn't hard if you have the time, tools, and skills but I was short on time.

Did you buy this new? 100k is unacceptable.
