Have you considered going with the 6.0 L engine?
Recently bought a new to us truck and went through the good and bad of the 5.3 L engine.
While not the end of the world problems with all of them it seems it's like the lottery if you get a good one or a bad one.
From what I have read, the worst ones were the 5.3 L with the fuel management system that shuts down 4 cylinders under light load, I believe the 4.3 was equipped with the same system.
We were not looking at as new as you are, so the issues may have been addressed by now.
We went with the 6.0 L to stay away from the cylinder deactivation system and are quite pleased, lots of power, reasonable mileage and very dependable.
Resale value will be lower with the 4.3 L but if your like me and drive them until there is nothing left of it then not a concern.

I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
