5.3L from a 2006 Hybrid Sierra...Differences? GM is buying back their "Hybrid" trucks due to battery replacement issues and a few of these trucks are showing up at dismantlers. I'm considering a 30,000 mile 5.3 that will come out of a 2006 Pickup that has the "Hybrid" system. The Vin has a T which is an LM7 engine.
I understand that the hybrid system does the starting and charging in the transmission area and that the power steering system is electric. Other than that I know nothing about the system.
My questions are:
Is the engine the same as any other LM7?
Is the block machined to accept a standard starter?
Is the engine wire harness pretty much the same as any other LM7 harness?
Is the Flex Plate different?
Did I miss something?
Thanks,
Ken
