Have 2 '012 1/2 ton 4x4's at work with the 5.3's. Not the best for gas mileage averaging 15 empty mixed driving,drops down to 9-10 pulling a trailer with 5000 lbs on it. Require synthetic or semi synthetic oil,and dealer said don't stretch the oil changes out to the factory recommendations, engines sludge up and have cam/lifter problems.They said 7000 max with synthetic oil. Oil filter is about the size of a v-8 juice can. They are comfortable trucks,ride well,but I feel they are basically a car with a pickup bed on them,macpherson strut front suspension, small drum brakes on the rear,and 20" tires. Maybe they are ok for a suburbanite that runs to Lowes or Home Depot,but for a work truck there isn't alot of meat to them. Both of ours have had monitor screen/sensor problems,shifting problems, uneven tire wear(dealer recommended rotation at every oil change) I look for them to be a high maintenance truck especially when they get up in miles, just too cheaply built for heavy construction or farm use.JMHO

We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
