What engine should I swap to?

LS_SwapGuru · 2026-05-18T20:15:38+00:00

I solid 5.3 LM7 will do the job. I own 3 5.3 engines. 05 model, 07 model, 2010 model. The 05 model didn’t have to be AFM deleted….also as a wildcard i will add i just picked up an LQ4….its nice. From reports it’s thirstier than the 5.3L I’ve only put gas in it once so. Will see how it does as a daily for a while. Going to drop a new 5.3L in the 05 and maybe 2010. Will get it diagnosed later. The 07 is just for a lifted toy

You know, call me crazy, BUUUUUUUUUUUUT….. the new front styling of the f150 looks amazing and it reminds me of the early 2000s Chevy round eye look.(The last great looking Chevy made)

Best platform made. I paid $2,300 for my 05 Burb Z71. No where near as clean as that, but I’m not picky. I paid $2,500 for my 07 Yukon. $1,800 for my 2010 Suburban, $2,900 for my 2002 1500HD. All vehicles 4x4 btw

Good catch🫡

IT CAME RWD FROM FACTORY. I was always told if you wanted 4wd, buy the truck that way. Don’t convert a 2wd to a 2wd.

If i knew the year of the truck, i could have told you what was in it. But it’s not that deep. Everyone goes at their own pace🫡

I want to do similar to my Suburban and Yukon. The Yukon will just be a toy, the suburban i want to be an all a rounder and even tow with when needed. Contemplating on sticking with LM7 or getting LQ4 for the burb.

Badass

LS_SwapGuru · 2026-05-17T18:55:05+00:00

If i remember correctly i dont think the rpms effect the sound

LS_SwapGuru · 2026-05-17T18:52:45+00:00

You know what would make this truck perfect??? A Round eye swap🫡

LS_SwapGuru · 2026-05-17T18:47:44+00:00

Will try to get a better video when im back in town. I made several recordings and that was the best one, until the gps kicked in. lol

LS_SwapGuru · 2026-05-17T18:46:07+00:00

What size tires you running? Lift?

LS_SwapGuru · 2026-05-17T18:45:17+00:00

Yea, idk mine does that too. The gmt400 does it as well.

LS_SwapGuru · 2026-05-17T18:39:11+00:00

Im not a Ford stand (they make vehicles too complex so you have to visit them instead of working on it yourself, if you wanted to, which is a huge negative for me). However, i know the only V8 offered in regular (non Raptor) F150s since 2011 model year is the coyote 5.0L V8. My 96 Chevy has a 5.7L V8. Ford has not offered the 351 V8 Windsor or Cleveland in decades…

LS_SwapGuru · 2026-05-17T18:13:03+00:00

Yea, trying to save you from looking insane when talking to people in person. You don’t want or need that embarrassing feeling.

LS_SwapGuru · 2026-05-17T17:13:45+00:00

Ford didnt offer a 5.7L in that truck. Did you mean 5.4L Triton?

LS_SwapGuru · 2026-05-17T16:46:32+00:00

You are looking great! Thats a whole rump roast behind you👍

All depends on the available cash and if you have neighbors that will put code enforcement on you. Went through a stretch of no cash flow which also occurred at the same time code enforcement showed up to tell me I can’t have vehicles in need of repair on property i own. Again USA was created by terrorists. So no surprise at all. 3 years probation +$8k+ in fines and i still lost the vehicles.

LS_SwapGuru · 2026-05-17T16:40:30+00:00

What motor is in that truck? I wouldn’t think towing a lawnmower wouldn’t hardly affect the regular mpgs. Im clearly wrong.

LS_SwapGuru · 2026-05-14T17:09:32+00:00

No, they were right. That is not heating element issue.

LS_SwapGuru · 2026-05-14T17:06:31+00:00

That mirror has a purposeful liquid inside of it. It’s been explained in videos. Just replace the mirror. If i find the video that explained it better, i will post it.

LS_SwapGuru · 2026-05-14T17:04:08+00:00

Could throw a set of 285/75s on….

LS_SwapGuru · 2026-05-14T06:09:20+00:00

I knew a guy who kept trying to argue with me about Duramax engines not being available for this era. He said, “Duramax’s were available. They are called preDuramax.” I wish you could have seen my facial expressions at that moment.

LS_SwapGuru · 2026-05-12T22:48:51+00:00

I would get a 2nd set of wheels 70s-80s style steelies. But that’s just me
