revamping my 2001 yukon

[07Burb]

yeah a good running 5.3 will get that truck moving just fine I'd like to do a 5.3 swap in my '77 at some point as well.

Plus you can build a 5.3 out of the car easily. The heads already flow a lot. A good cam, some head work. Or toss on a set of aftermarket heads that are already revalved and flowed. These In combination with a tune and you have boom approaching 400hp.

You can simplify things with the MSD ignition and a carb setup and make lots of power also.

Also may I suggest you go with the 4l80e or the 6l90e

whats the difference between the 4l60e and the 4l80e?

The 4l80e has a slightly larger case, different gearing, stronger internals than a 4l60e. The 4l60e is an electronically controlled 700R4 in essence, basically the same internal parts and gear ratios. The 4l80e was put behind the 6.0L LQ4 in HD trucks, 8.1L vortec motors in 2500 Suburbans and Yukon XLs, diesel motors in some GM vans among other applications.

I hope this helps.

How did you color match the Denali grille? I'm wanting color match my grille with the rest of the truck. Is there an aftermarket paintable grille I can buy or did you paint the stock grille?

Thanks

no problems so far, if you prep it right you won't have any problems. when painting chrome is all about the prep good sanding and and a good self etching primer
