Part of the updates when they switched to gen4 i believe, the HO aluminum 5.3 (L33) available in 05-07 classic ECSB trucks also had them, this was the only gen3 5.3 that had them, now the 07 up new body style trucks whether it be LY5, LH6, LC9 which are all gen4 should be floating, correct me if I'm wrong but i think they also all use coated skirts on the pistons too. It was part of GM's way to reduce the common complaints about piston slap noise.
