I have a 2002 yukon with a 5.3 truck was rolled i have the full SUV. My truck is a 98 c1500. Besides motor mounts what do i need to do? Also I have a new stage 2 trans in my 98 can I use the trans i just spend over 1300$ on?What is the common issiues during the swap? Do I need a new driveshaft also? And how long will the stock 5lug running gear last? I have alot of questions I want my truck done the right way not to hack it or rig stuff. Thank you for your time and advice ahead of time.

 

Are either or both 4WD? That will affect some of your decisions.

 

it sounds like his truck is a 2wd being a c1500 5 lug. (not sure about the donor). i havent done this swap yet, but intend to soon. the research ive come up with says to use the 5.3 truck oil pan for a 4wd truck, 2wd i imagine would need a shallower pan especially if you plan on lowering the truck. 5.3 truck upper hose, 98 truck lower hose, 95 truck power steering hoses, 98 truck fan shroud with 5.3 fan, 5.3 truck manifolds, either the 5.3 truck throttle cable, or 96-98 truck cable, 96-98 truck fuel pump, 1'' set back motor mounts. 3 wire coolant temp sensor napa # ts5721 and corresponding connector #ec2024. if im wrong please correct me because my brother and i plan on doing this swap on his truck this spring.

 

If the Tahoe is 4WD that complicates things a bit

 

both 2wd if it was 4wd id look into a straight axle swap but both are 2wd

 

both 2wd trucks if the 5 lug will hold up id like to keep it as is with a 4in lift pushung 31s on a 15in rim

 

The 5-lug rear will be fine.

 

I'm not sure that rear will last, the 10 bolt in my truck blew up on a stock motor with 33's, they're called gov-bombs for a reason. you can run it but i would keep an eye out for a 90-92 454ss rear (5 lug 14 bolt), its a direct swap. I'm assuming the built trans is a 4l60e and if so i believe it will work with the 5.3, pretty sure they were all the same in the trucks from that era. there is tons of info on the swap on here and the interwebs.

 

thanks for the info

 

if the trany is a 4l60 it may go first , hate um
