Miled Out '08 Chevy Silverado 1500 Gets An Engine Swap

- This '08 Chevrolet Silverado has 400k km on it and the 5.3 engine has a collapsed lifter and a scored cylinder. So she gets a heart transplant because even a body full of rust won't keep this old girl down.

What should we do with a 5.3 aluminum engine block that has a scored cylinder? Hmm...
Coffee table mod? Sad to see an engine fail this early in it's life....I drive a '98 F150...4.6 2 valve motor...nearing a half million and still runs like new and all original....go figure. Amazing what regular maintenance can do.
Machine it and slap on a 5.9 turbo.
Kenneth James
I was coming to say the same.
Trash it
It should have an iron block, aluminum heads.
Everything is easy and straight forward when you know what youre doin
God bless the GM engineers who made the LS family.
21st Century Hot Rodder Amen
Amen
21st Century Hot Rodder more like bless the gm designer from 06 and before😂
Great motors I love my 5.3 Silverado plenty of power and hop ups are endless.
And fuck the guy who ever introduced garbage afm into an otherwise bulletproof family of engines.
I have an 01’ 3/4 ton with 3 pedals on the floor 185,000 miles, general PM and it drives everyday. I’ll drive it till they stop making parts for it, then I’ll make my own parts and keep driving it.
i feel the same with my 99 buick century..... 255K miles
my dads 97 buick lesaber has 275k...... he just loves that old POS
Mine's a 1998 1/2 Cheyenne w/4.3, 5 speed and 2WD. Lots of hangar rash but she still runs tho she is on her 2nd engine with the original CFI, trans and rear end. Clock shows +-300,000 but not sure if that's original as we got her used about 6 yrs old. Not sure what they did with her before but they did ride hard and put her up wet. She's hauled 2,000 lbs of horses in an old heavy steel hauler from TX to CA back and on to NC and MD. Side note on my Lincoln TownCar, when I sold it, almost 500,000 miles with only head gaskets and new intake. FN plastic
Recently found a 04 sierra 4.8. 100k miles. No leaks on oil or trans. Previous owner was an old man. He changed the oil almost every 6 months but he would drive it so little he would end up changing it in like 2 k miles. No ticks, no noise nothing. Shifts like butter. Paint so good it makes you think it was 2008. Was so lucky to catch it at the dealership as soon as they put it on sale.
Man I lucked out soo much.
This is helpful. Currently pulling the 5.3 from our 2014 Silverado. Trying to avoid the AFM lifter failure. Deleting cylinder deactivation and adding a hotter cam, ported heads, 6.2 intake manifold & throttle body. Enjoy your style and narrative! Thanks!
Wasting your money bud
I love the plain interior. All those screens and bells and whistles in the new trucks piss me off.
Subtle Ford dig at 2:35 LOL. New engine sounded waaay better. Another awesome and entertaining vid Rich. Thanks
Then there's another one later when he's talking about the same connectors on the wiring harness that can get mixed up.
9:30
Another at 13:40 about the tailgate.
Lmao 😂
You guys will love the new Chevy half tail gait, your buddy can't get away so easy when your a$$ packing each other
Fiancé and whole family is at a wedding having fun, I’m stuck at home sick. Thankfully I got DEBOSS to keep me entertained
If it were my personal truck, I'd be tempted to see if I could find a 6.2 to drop in there just for fun as long as the cost isn't a huge difference. But those 5.3's are pretty solid too.
Delete the AFM system too.
@@atx-cvpi_99 Range
U dnt want the 1st gen 6.2s. They were kinda a dud
My 04 Yukon has 212,000 miles and is running strong. I will never get rid of her.
I've had my 14 with the 5.3 for about 5 months now. And every time I see the truck or get into it I feel happy. I live everything about the 14+ gm trucks. I went with a sierra tho. Love having brushed aluminum on the interior over plastic. Just feels more high end.
I always heard about that vvt 4cyc _ 8 cyc thing, so glad im still running the old 5.3, 362k knock on wood, keep wrenching on , #keephergoing
jethrokelly yep, me too. Mine is an '05 and doesn't even have EGR.
My dad's L59 still running great even after 132k miles
254k miles on my Silverado. Good trucks. Appreciate your efforts keeping that baby on the road.
I have a 2007 yukon xl with a 5.3, I super happy with it. I've done evap, wheel bearings, brakes and fuel pump. I did disabled the DOD/AFM. It's been a great family rig
My 08 Silverado is rusting just about everywhere
R.i.p. Jessi. Never knew she was at the end of this video for a brief second.
Just scrolled down to say the exact same thing. 👌
This is about 250k miles for those wondering.
I'm a tree thanks, he said miled out then speaks in socialist metric. Canuks SMH
I'm a tree it's 229k actually
probably on its 2nd set of lifters at that milage haha
UBBERTANKER Or at a minimum, the 2nd 5.4 Triton swap if it was a Ford...If only you could delete all the trash on the 5.4 to make it a decent engine. Not nearly as simple as an AFM delete.
+hochhaul Hmm, my uncle's daily driver is an Expedition with a 5.4L Triton and at 285k miles is still going strong, I've got a 5.4L 3V Triton in my 04 with 209k miles, there's even a website somebody made about his 97 5.4L Triton (97 was the first year for the 5.4L) which lasted just shy of 1.3 Million miles. If maintained, its a good engine just as the LS is a good engine if maintained. Your comment is invalid.
dudes honest as they come,,im a fan ,,awesome vids man
Rich you are so talented. Hard to find a mechanic like you.
This would have been a good candidate for a 6.0 swap. they don't have the VVT, (as long as you get the LQ9) they are a work horse motor that should also bolt right up
"douchebag handle" that's fucking hilarious
Ford lol
Climb in the back like a donkey made me laugh a little more. But yes that is on the ford tailgate.
They put those handles on there so ford owners have a place to hang their purse while they climb into the bed...but id be careful up in a truck bed with high heels on if i were them!
Sam my super duty is kind of hard to get in and out of the bed
Sam id rather have the “douchebag handle” then some sissy ass waste of a money step in the side of a bumper
My 08 had a real bad squeak. Had about 115,000 miles. Did some reasearch and found out that it could be the lifter being scared and also destroying the cam. Exactly what happened. Replaced lifters and the cam and it runs great.
Im on Van Isle, the rust aint so bad here I see old trucks like this all the time at my work
done lots of these 5.3,4.8,6.2 s,never done VVT later ones ,love the older ls s.had one that a girl drove her pickup all summer with no coolant, i pulled it apart and the lifters siezed up ,couldn't budge them with,surprised it would run ,extremely noisy, through that block away(used for core trade in,even though it wasnt any good ) and bought a low mileage 5.3 from the wrecking yard ,2 yrs,later the truck runs great,.i liked the video.
That's kilometered out, not miled out.
Lol
It's metric..
I bought a 02 1500 Dodge with a 4.7 it has 260k. I drained the oil from the previous owner and it had 2qt of oil left in it. Gave it some love and now it just needs some clutch attention. Also one owner truck 4x4 manual 4 door
"THE ENGINE LIGHT IS ON- SO IT NEEDS A NEW ENGINE" OMG
Godspeed Jessi Combs
I’ve got first gen with the dirty it, absolutely love it.
First thing I did when I bought my '07 NBS is have the AFM tuned out when I had the tune done. Easy. 150K and just had to do manifolds like every other LS. Other than. That it works every day as a construction/contractor truck with no issues.
These engines go much further than 250k someone must really neglected this engine
No they definitely won't without replacing those garbage lifters
The factory afm that cuts the engine in half also adds unnecessary wear on these year ranges... usually the older ones last the longest
I mean, yeah this one looks neglected though haha
@@HumpDaddy01 got one with 489,000 miles on it setting at the house never had a bolt turned
@@austinlowhorn3124 what year?
I agree with you on the rust part. Ive seen tons of these on the road with different beds and rusty beds and rockers. They seem to hold up well though otherwise.
I am totally amazed watching this. The exact reason I looked it up was to see the good/bad of this generations of pickups and you literally nailed the “if you’re a young person keep driving that piece of shit cavalier as long as possible and get the next gen”. That is exactly me. 😂Love all your videos and the great advice
I have a 04 chevy avalanche 5.3 i also did the engine swap but i did it with a rebuilt engine runs great now.
When you started it I was reminded when I changed a timing belt in my car it idled really high on start up, I thought I fucked up but the car just needed to relearn of course it would have blown up or ran real bad if I did fuck up the timing, Im not really a mechanic but I do all the repairs on my own cars if its not too complicated, I like it and Im also an auto technician full time.
106k 2011 Silverado 5.3 6l80 .. Never gave me a problem great paint job with color match and rust free. It's been in snow desert .. doesn't burn oil .. street tuned with long tubes
Good video Rich
I.M.H.O. The GMT-400 88-98 (2000 for 2500-3500) was the pinnacle of GM trucks as far as reliability and general quality goes. The cabs and ride were so much bigger and better than the square body trucks (hate me all you want, if you’re 6’3” and daily drive a regular cab square body you’d feel the same way), the seats and dash were made of extremely durable material, you got the rock solid (my favorite engine family of all time) old school SBC engines, a nice ride thanks to IFS and a good, long lasting suspension thanks to torsion bars. The 92 and up manual trans models are my favorite, I’ve had several. The 96-2000 K2500 or 3500 with an NV4500 and Vortec 5.7 is the ultimate/best gas pickup truck ever made. The TBI’s are great too but low on power, those vortec 350’s were beasts and still easy to work on. I even had one 93 k2500 (8600 gvw model) with the 6.5 with a mechanical pump and an nv4500 and that was the best diesel pickup I’ve ever had, but I knew what to expect going in too. Basically the power of a TBI 350 but twice the fuel mileage .
I wonder how many people think Lucus could stop the knock.
Thanks for the information!
I like ur opinion about it being simple but I like simple cause it allows me to put my own touch on it
I love the 2nd gens! I just bought mine last year and my Dad had one for a while. I agree the interior is really boring and not impressive, but it is better if you have the LTZ (unfortuately I don't). The Interrior on the 3rd gens are a lot better but I have heard the 3rd gens have more problems. Thy tend to vibrate a lot whenever you are at higher speeds (Chevy Shake). They have also been notorious for drive shaft issues and power loss issues. The 8 speed transmissions have a lot of problems too.
You explained the most simple way out of all videos
I have an 07.5 1500 extend cab, I LOVE my truck, I do have a few gripes with the styling (front isn’t aggressive enough, personally too many curves) but for $13k I couldn’t beat her, slapped some 31’s on it and it’s absolutely perfect for me, although I think a 12v swap may be in its distant future 🤔
I love my 2007.5 SIlverado Extended Cab LTZ with the 5.3 (Built the first month for this body style, 2007.5-2013, which was in May, and everyone says do not buy the first year bodystyle/engine, but mine has never had any issues). Now I removed all AFM/DOD Hardware once my warranty expired, did it around 118,000 miles, and it was working good. Awesome truck with no issues, never had any warranty problems, anything failing. Only issue was the small dash crack by the passenger airbag, which was very common on these trucks, especially the non LTZ style Dash. The LTZ interior is very different than the NON LTZ. Full Center Console, different dash lines, and a few other small things. Awesome truck, very dependable.
What did you do to remove the AFM/DOD hardware? Any codes or lights on in dash? Im looking to do the same on mines.
I just replaced a 5.3 in a 09 basically for the same reason but I would say it is worth it to take the grille and front radiator support off this gives you a lot better access to everything I didn’t even take the hood off to take the engine out little bit of extra work goes a long way
I wouldn't say 400,000 kilometers is a lot for these. There's a lot of them out there with over 500,000 Miles. There's even a guy with an '01 Corvette with 800,000 miles. The motor is all original. My '05 is an iron block 5.3 and damn near indestructible. It didn't even come from the factory with EGR
Robert Smith that's why no egr, egr kills motors
not the same generation engine, the engines you mention do not have AFM which are far more problematic than the previous generation. There are actually class action lawsuits against GM for the 7-13 AFM 5.3's
Robert Smith He did say it was a work truck so likely abused and neglected for most of its life.
Doug Anderson have you seen inside a motor with egr on it fucking black pancake mix that clogs up your piston rings heads and intake
Doug Anderson egr is awful for engines. It's only for emissions, it just cakes the intake tract with carbon.
Hey man wanted to say you hit the nail on the head well said about this gen Chevys . I own my shop (PIT STOP GARAGE) in yorkville Il and I have done plenty of them but we have the same opinion on this Chevys. Take care be safe and keep on 🔧🛠
Also good to put studs in at the ends for the exhaust manifolds to avoid more broken bolts. Silicone those knock sensor harness plugs in the valley.
Great minds think alike. I recently did the dod delete on my 2013 chevy after it failed. But like you, I pulled the engine and refreshed everything. Cost me $1800 in parts. But I have a bran new bottom end without AFM. It had 129,900 when the dod failed
369,000 miles that’s AWSOME
That ending touched me seeing Jesse at the end, R.I.P love ya
I have that hood light, that thing is great
This was a good video... Just great solid info. I'm not capable enough to swap a Cummins into my silverado HD... But @ 200K miles, i'm thinking about a 6.0swap similar to this.
Lmao, I rebuilt my 05 5.3 when a lifter went bad, new cam and lifters and good to go. But I literally had same thing, 1 exhaust bolt would not go back in hahaha
LOL...I love My Turbo Cavalier... love your vids...keep them comin
The oil pump o ring gets hard as a rock on those, dropping oil pressure. If your oil pressure drops you can drop an afm lifter. They also have issues with scoring cams if the lifter roller locks up.
Lt1 swap (guy online in US), you can mail him your Pcm and he will shut off the AFM in the programming for $50. This keeps the AFM in lock mode and prevents problems in the future. You can also delete the hardware of AFM on the engine by replacing the camshaft/lifters and AFM solenoid with a blank.
IF you want to keep the AFM system and have a collapsed lifter, I would put a new oil pump in it along with the AFM solenoid system for a complete repair.
m ph exactly why I shut mine off in hptuners. The minimal mpg gain (if any, really) just isn't worth it.
m ph If it's a 5.3 GM truck with the 6 speed, you can just shift to "M" instead of "D", then select 5th gear. AFM is now disabled. Selecting 6th gear will enable AFM again.
I would rather delete it.
My '08 avalanche 5.3 is at the dealer for new engine right now. I was using a d.o.d. delete in my obd port and everything seemed fine...til the oil pressure dropped, the d.o.d. cylinders goobered up, and then the knockin started. Only 118,000mi! I think the delete unit was telling them to stay engaged, but the pressure might not have kept up. New engine:$4800...plus r/r labor. The truck is one owner mint, so i look at it as i'll have a new truck. Long story short, you were spot on.
Great Show.
Keep up the good work.
2- 94 gmc suburbans had over 200k on the clock, 1st got a basic gasket job in the drive,6 years later I was wiped out in an intersection , 2nd I replaced the rear end, drove the piss out of it , traded it for a low mile pilot I don't know why , love the gm's up till early mid 90's
I swapped out my 2008 5.3 due to the FMS burning out my lifters secondarily to burning off too much oil @200k miles. My new 2014 updated has no issues like the 2008, burns a qt per 2k miles, no lifter ticks @150k. Everything else, 340k miles and working other than normal maintenance & suspension maintenance/sensors etc.
The 4.8 in my Silverado started knocking on a -20°F morning. So I swapped in a 5.3. Easy bolt in. 5.3 is running ok on the 4.8 PCM.
Was it really just that my 4.8 lost comp and I need a motor soon
Great job!
400,000km? 248,000 miles then...I have a 2003 Silverado 2500 with 301,xxx miles on the 6.0L 4L80E runs like a dream.
Throwing all the ford shade lmao
God Bless Jessi...doing what she LOVED!
Will be doing a 4.8 replacement in my drive way as my first time removing an engine. Hopefully I won’t have the exhaust manifold issue 🙌
My 15 silverado made it to 68,000 miles before my lifter went, dont care one bit, just swapped a TSP DOD delete and cam in, love it to death, interior and exterior still in perfect shape, shes gonna last a long while
I've had my '08 GMC Sierra 5.3L Z71 4x4 Regular Cab long box for a while now and love it.
I'm aware of the issues that can pop up with the Variable Valve Timing setup in these.
Everyone I talk to about these all say CHANGE THE OIL OFTEN and keep it clean so I do a 3000 mile / 4900 Km interval on that.
It has over 155,000 miles / 252,000 Km and still runs great and pulls my fifth wheel camper like a dream.
I believe it's all about keeping up on the service on these .
Do I drive it like an old man( over 30 LOL) ,No , I drive it hard , tow to the max ,throw shit in it , fill up the box for hauling etc.
It's not a garage queen , always sits outside even through our Northern winters in MN.
Starts every time runs great.
I want a newer one now and sell this one to someone as a great runner.
Jus purchased a 2003 suburban z71 with 230k miles...
...looking to get at least 300k out of it. I take good care of my vehicles too. 🤘🏽😎
Good luck man
Alfie Brotherton ..thanks dude. Are u saying that cuz you don’t think so?
@@NorthStar420 of course not all my family got Chevy farm trucks with 4.8s they go forever if a little slow
Smooth as silk!!!
For anyone wondering there's a product made by Range that you can plug into the obd2 port that makes these trucks run on 8 cylinders all the time. Deleting the afm will make these engines last longer.
the mid year 5.3's are notorious for premature failure due to the porcelain tip on the spark plugs breaking off and falling into the cylinder scoring it all up. Keep in mind this is only an issue with the 5.3's that had cylinder deactivation but still it had a problem. I work for a local fleet that had 6 5.3's ( four tahoes and two suburbans ) and all of them had the engines replaced at around 100k miles, two of them had the engines replaced twice. These are fleet vehicles that got regular maintenance, the 5.3 was not bullet proof. Both ford and chevy made some great engines in the late 2000's but they both had their own issues. Ford obviously had the spark plug seize issue and GM had the plug tip breaking issue.
I have seen 5.3 engine go 500,000 miles and beyond
Some people take care of their trucks, some don't
@@ps3boss98 Exactly. My 02 extended cab long bed Z71 4x4 has 300k and runs and looks great still. I just had some diagnostic work because the oil pressure guage was fluctuating(bad sending unit) and both the service manager and the mechanic went on and on about how clean my truck is. They asked me if it was for sale? NOPE!! Everybody wants me to buy a new truck and I keep telling them that I will, when I need one. LOL
Jim M Nice man, are you the original owner of the truck though? I’ve got an 02 RCSB Silverado with 127k miles bought it from my neighbor & never had a problem with it. Sadly I can’t say it looks great like yours, because a week ago I was messing around in the rain doing burnouts and donuts and what not and slid into my buddy’s truck. Now I need a new right side fender lol.
@@ps3boss98 No, I'm the 2nd owner. I bought it at 9 years old, but it only had 56k on it. That was when gas was like $4/gallon. People were giving these 8 cyl trucks away. I only paid $9k for it. I've put almost 250k on it and haven't put much money into it at all. Not too bad if I do say so myself. LOL. Best vehicle I've ever owned and second place isn't even close. This truck owes me nothing.
Jim M Great story man.
nice 111k sub i think u were 30 ish when i subbed. well done sir
Yea those trucks were great
Had this happen to a z71 tahoe was a bad roller that for cam.the bearing in the wheel went bad and it's seems the little port had got clogged. But fixed it and no more problems
i got the 4.3 of that year with only 130 thousand on the dash and my truck already had the lifter tick and oil pump go out so I'm swappin it too. Couldnt beleive it went out after that few of miles
That is one abused engine! It looks like the old Ford 351M after 60,000 miles with all that sludge and varnish!
I have a 07 tahoe 5.3. right around 100k miles kept asking for oil just about every other week. decided to go with the RANGE afm disabler. after that, oil change every 5k without it asking for oil again. 170k now
Those ratchets are awesome
The collapsing lifter feature that is prone to failure is for the AFM/DoD system... You called it VVT, just wanted to point it out because GM's VVT system is actually really good and depending on the cam, can actually make a much broader powerband than if deleted.
Silverados have a hood service position check it out you dont have to pull the hood.
Awesome! Thanks. Always learn something new
Those trucks are notorious for ticking because of lifters...Ive had that problem with 2 truck but i love chevy
That problem was most definitely due to poor maintenance. 369k "km" is nothing...practically low miles...we have about 8 of them at work with around 550k km. If you maintain them, they won't die at such low miles like that...229k mi is embarrassing for an LS.
229k for those engines is much more than most get before having to replace the garbage lifters. Average is 160k to 200k
@@HumpDaddy01 nope. Your wrong. I know of way to many healthy 5.3s with way more miles than that.
@@samuelw.3992 yea. After some engine work. So I'm right!

Great video..
I've had many trucks and as of right now a 2000 GMC 2500 6.0L and it's by far the best truck I've owned, favorite truck was my 1989 F150 reg cab short box 5.0L 2wd had a mild cam, headers and a 3.92 posi that truck would go like hell to bad my sister got REAR ended in it and bent the frame, did pull the engine and it went in my buddies 1987 Thunderturd
Derek Joon sadly that how it usually goes
Derek Joon How many miles are on your 2500? I bought mine (same truck) 3 years ago with 363k miles on it. I'm now at 409k miles. As far as I know still original 6.0L (LQ4), great truck.
MarkPdot Mines got 430,000 on it, origìnal engine and rebuilt trans.
hi any constant tick at idle ?
Ali Saleh Yes a common 5.3 & 6.0 issue, flywheel is prone to warping, cracking and in extream circumstances breaking.
What an awesome video and an incredible amount of knowledge you have. I own a lawn care company and am looking at a new Chevy Silverado 1500 in this year for a dedicated work truck. Any known issues with 2017/2018 Chevy Silverado 1500 WTs? Probably too new to know, but figured I would ask in case there was something catastrophic already known! Thanks! :)
Hilarious to see you comment considering how famous you are now. Love your video, cheers
Most nerve racking part of that whole swap I bet was re installing that hood.
It seems so much more when in kilometers than miles. It only has about 250k miles, which is really nothing for these engines. However, it doesn't matter if it's been neglected, rode hard and put away wet.
229 k miles? thats miled out? lifters what a surprise. i see these 07 and up ls with the afm in the shop way too often
I also like the fact you are the only one that just took off the hood every one else took the whole front clip off ... I would do it the way you did....just hood revoval
I have a 99 Silverado 5.3 has 210,xxx still drives like new
Good job.
"It's a complicated stupid system that will cost more money than you saved in fuel" Best comment I've heard in a while in regards to many systems on all brands of new trucks.
I paid $1700 for an 07 silverado crew cab that sounded just like that. I put some seafoam in it and held it about 5k for 10 second burst and it broke that collapsed lifter loose. I've put 10k miles on it since. Gonna delete afm eventually or replace with 6.0.
LSs are common cam bearing spinners. They do NOT like oil that is too heavy. My company started off claiming our usual 15-40 would be OK for them.
Ayy I have that underhood light, also my 01 Chevy sitting at 265k
at 6:12 lmao thats the best comment on these lifters i’ve ever heard
