New from NC with 2000 Tahoe

[NCTyphoonKid]

Hey guys
I'm new from NC but I've had my Tahoe for about 2 months bought it from a used dealer and put bout 2000 miles on and changed the oil and it started making a knocking noise thought it was piston slap turns out to be a rod knock so guess I'm gonna be pulling a motor soon and rebuilding or replacing it. I love my Tahoe and drove it everyday and took it on several trips up until today when I found out it was a rod knock. Its a LS 4x4 Tahoe with 5.3 and has 294000 orig miles on it.

6.0 swap it, you'll love it.

Thanks for the welcome guys as for the 6.0 swap I've thought about it. Are there any good build threads for that swap? I'm planning on starting the teardown of the Tahoe next week because I'd like to have it back on the road very soon.

Thanks for the warm welcomes guys!! Also made a thread asking about any tips on removing the engine from the Tahoe.
