Whats this worth? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm looking at a totaled 2000 tahoe 2wd with 5.3
I haven't went to look at it and don't know how much damage has been done to the motor, he says none but from the pic I don't see how everything is ok, maybe it is
Its got 200k on it
How can I tell which tranny is in it? VIN or is it marked somewhere?

He wants $1000 for motor trans and harness, is it worth it with no damage to motor/trans? With 200k miles the accessories are only worth core charge anyway. I want them just for that reason and I'm not sure which A/C I'll go with so I want that too.

You could prob. Find it cheaper in a scrap yard is lsx swap is what your trying to getnin your square but that is a hit and miss game unless your going to overhaul the 5.3. Have you looked on Craigslist down here in tx you get a 5.3 for 500 or less all day. I would try and get it for 800 because at 200k stuff needs to be replaces special since its going to be out and easy to work with

I do plan on an overhaul, I'm putting a cam in it so I might as well start it fresh, maybe a head swap too. Anything with 200k will definitely get new accessories, no sense in putting alternators with that much back on it but with those on the donor i'll get the core covered

If you can take it off that guys hands for 800 bucks (due to the high millage) its a fair price. 200 bucks buys atleast a set of shorty headers or other nice parts
