other than blue that is how it comes. you gotta get one from the dealer

pwtr02ss · 07-20-2011, 02:13 PM

The side covers are on all LQ9s, ss silverado, vortec max, escalade, and maybe denali?

The motor I just bought is a 2002 vin U from a yukon 2500. it has the full covers. maybe they mislabeled it and I got lucky and scored an lq9?

WORP67 · 07-21-2011, 01:04 PM

Chris you have a LQ4 according to the info I have. VIN U is the LQ4 and VIN N is the LQ9

Th LQ9 also came in the Escalade 02-06.

BR3W CITY · 07-21-2011, 01:23 PM

there are 5 variations that I can remember
Vortec Max (comes red) top cover, and side covers
Vortec 6000 top cover, with the same side covers
Vortec 5300 which if i recall is the square top cover only off the early trucks
and the Escalade cover which i think has the same side covers as the top 2.

i can dig out the part numbers if you guys need them

our work truck is a 04 2500 with a lq4 in it and it doesnt have the covers. just the top one

Awsome, thanks guys. I think this is a nice looking cover. $50 is the cost on it, just checked with a buddy at the dealer. Better than having a custom made.

Here is something a little different.

softballnrd27 · 07-21-2011, 11:48 PM

85burb-I love that look!! Mine will look similar only I will be keeping the MPI. 4150 TB on Super Vivtor EFI hopefully on top of 408ci.(keeping fingers and toes crossed)

Thanks. I like the look too. But i love the milage. I get 14 mpg with mostly in town in a 4x4 burb with 33s and 410 gears. That is with a good amount of beatings threw out the drive.

That will be for the center cover only. The 2 side covers have additional cost.
