Are you sure on the 6.0L? GM didn't offer the 6.0L until 2001 and even then it was limited to HD trucks. It is probably a 5.3. Look at the Emission Control sticker on the plastic radiator cover when you pop the hood. The engine size is listed in the upper left hand corner. Is it a 1500? 2wd or 4wd?

I'd worry about the tranny going south before I worried about the motor.

Also, is this the 99+ body style, or the square bodied 88-98 body style. There was a "99 classic" that was a square body style too.
