Hey guys, picken up a 03 chev silverado with the 5.3 wondering how to go about finding out if these are the compatable coils for my gxp, and mainly could i just switch them and run the gxp coils in the truck and the truck coils in my gxp?
thanks,

Truck coils are compatible. But I don't remember which ones are OK to use.

Some have more power output. Might need the harnesses and brackets from the truck.

If you're getting the coils with a truck anyway, they couldn't hurt, but don't spend any money on buying coils. GM got these ignition systems right, and even stock LS4 coils can easily power a car into the low 11s and beyond.

I know that wasn't your question, but I'm just sayin'!!!
