LT or LS for towing?

[Dneel81]

This swap has been done many times in many versions. 99Tahoe put one in his tahoe. he's near me and was very helpful with my NV4500 swap. Also this guy has a great write up on his LS swap

In any case, read read read. The information is here as people have done it before you.
It's not mechanically hard but the details are in the electronics and computer crap. Keep us posted of what you do end up doing.

an ls motor would be a bit better for power and mileage when towing.

he is talking a gm ls type motor platform in his lt trimmed truck. it is in the details.

Why do you consider the LS motor an upgrade. I thought the entire model line came with either a 255 hp V-8 or a 180 hp 6.5 diesel. The LS and LT versions in V-8 both have 6,512 lbs. trailer towing. I thought LS and LT were just trim levels unless this is a bot.

can haul more then that.
