Hopefully it's an easy fix and you don't have to locate a replacement

Same weather here. Spent some time out just to get some air. It’s brutal.

Meanwhile in my ski town it was 50F this afternoon while I was detailing my clients Range Rover. Lol. Hopefully you get the kids truck sorted out!

Say, if I end up going down the path of replacing the motor, what years would be considered almost plug and play. It’s a ‘97 5.0L. I’m assuming it would have to be at least an OBDII vintage at least, correct? I think this puts me in the ‘96-‘98 range. How about going to a 5.7 from the same years? What would I need to be aware of?

The diagnostic process has started. Should be fun in this weather.

Almost certain it’s just a tune to your ecm for the 5.7 values As far as the engine. Not sure about the 400r trans if it’s the same on the 5.0 and the 5.7. I did a swap on my 96 c1500. I almost went with the 5.7 but budget was tight and it was a work truck. I bought a crate motor from Jeggs for under $2000 if I remember correctly
