I ended up with a 5.3L out of a 99, not knowing it had less HP than 2000 and up, and it runs better than any of the previous 292, 350, and 402 that where in it. It's 4x4 with 33's on it, and it was PERFECT for what I wanted (fuel efficiency and reliability). Only problem being the 4 speed manual tranny really sucks with this great running modern engine.
