Vin decoded
Bought a motor today and now I'm finding conflicting info on whether it's a 5.3 or 4.8. The link that's scaring me is
http://service.gm.com/dealerworld/vi.../vincard07.pdf
They list the 8th letter as a c is a 5.3 in a car and a 4.8 in a truck. I am not exactly sure what it's out of. I called a dealer and gave them all 9 digits on the back of the block and they said 2007 5.3 Yukon. Can someone help me sleep tonight. Code is C7R217785
also it has 799 heads and is DBW
it has flat top pistons but i read that all 2007 and later motors do.

I'm hoping someone can chime in. I don't want to have to drop the pan if I don't have to. There isn't even any carbon at all on the pistons. It seriously looks brand new inside.

No they had sold the 6liter already. I saw this one sitting on the top rack of the 3 story shelf and climbed up to check it out. It is really really clean. I woulda waited for another day and a 6.0 but they want top dollar for them out here. The block says 4.8 and 5.3. I just recalculated the last nine numbers of the vin that are on the block. yes.... last 9 numbers, that would put the "C" as the check digit, not the engine code. So my vin would be 00000000C7R217785.
