Traded the 4.8 for a 5.3

Postby twday87 [OP] » Aug 11 2012, 2:02pm

Well many of you know I had a 2010 with a 4.8 liter. Yesterday I went up to the dealership and traded it for a 2011 z71 with only 15,000 miles. It has the rancho shocks, appearance package, all star edition and all that jazz. Definitely an upgrade from what I had but now I get to start all over. I was able to come home and take off my cold air intake and tool box. So to start off today I'll install my intake and my Intune. I'm very excited about having the beefier motor to play with.

It's bitter sweet haha can't totally replace your first truck. But someone will be happy with it. The funny thing is I didn't remove the tune til after the used car manager drove my truck he was like that's a peppy 4.8 haha. Not anymore it's not

No, next will be a Duramax. :lol:

Nice looking truck. I really enjoy the 5.3. I drove the v6 and the 4.8 back to back with the 5.3 and I knew immediately that I needed the 5.3.

My boss has the same color leather in his Sierra. It looks fantastic and is very comfortable. Just be mindful of the cleanliness of your hands.

Yeah very true. On the upside my dog can ride now and I don't have to worry about hair sticking to those seats! And yes, duramax after this one DIES. My fiancé would kill me of I got rid of this one in a year like the last one
