Is this a really good deal for a complete with acc, harness and pcm? Includes pedal and all that wiring as well. 40k miles on it.

That sounds about right to me. I have heard that you can pick up 5.3L`s with everything for $500, but in the 3 years I have been keeping my eyes open I have never seen one for that. I bought my 5.3, complete with everything for $800 and it had 109K on it.

the salvage yard by me is selling some 5.3L's for $900 w less than 60K on both. They also got a 38K 2002 6.0L for $1500. So I would say that the 4.8 is a reasonable deal.

I bought my 5.3 from a local salvage yard complete engine with harness with 59k for $400, but it took me a long time to find a good deal. $700 for a complete 4.8 is good. Wish I could find affordable 6.0's around San Antonio with decent miles.
