WTF! this place is worse than the office... TOO MANY TLA's!!! (Three Letter Acronyms) I can't type quickly but at least I write it out so you know what I mean.

Really... I am pretty good, having been in the speed parts business for over 30 years but I am still a little confused by all of the TLA's on this foum... thanks for the list!

Ok I am new to this site and I have looked through the acro post but I just want to double check. I am looking for information on the 03 5.3 vortec motor, based on the post that would be the gen 3 motor correct? I just want to make sure I am reading the proper forums.

Oh no you didn't!

No, I'm just kidding, everyone starts somewhere I guess, but you two really caught me off guard.

LSX is any version of the LS engine LS1, LS6, LS2, LS7 etc.

No, it does not mean LS Xtreme, please proceed to

That may not be an acronym. I'm not sure, but a Fob is the keyless entry remote we use to unlock our doors

58x (60-2) & 24xe

When we named the 60-2 AND the 36-1 crankshaft target in the US patent over 20 years ago,
I though that was a good name for the crankshaft target.

GM renamed that (60-2) to the 58x name, NIH ?
(Not Invented Here)

There are actually 59 teeth as "seen" by the EMS (Engine Management System).

The crankshaft target GM used, when the patent was in force, was the 24xe.

My question is what, besides 24 teeth, does that (24xe) stand for in crankshaft position terms ?
