The oil change is twice as much and price some normal replacement parts. From the research I've been doing the 5.3 w/od is the best choice by far. I wanted a 6.0 lq9 but after some quick math I can buy a low milage 5.3 and trans with the gear vendor for what most yards want for that motor about $4-5k I would expect with the 5.3 fourspeed and gear vendor you should see 22-23mpg

Anything new on this? Watching the 6 liter ls swap on Trucks this weekend brought me back to this.
