Been reading a lot about the 99-06 being the best 5.3 motors...and that the newer motors have issues because of AFM..?? Our 03 Tahoe went 365k miles...never an issue.

Interested to hear some thoughts on the subject. I don't mind an older truck, and I know the transmissions are the weak link.

Educate me and then I'll post the 'truck wanted ad'...

----I have a real soft spot for this era Subby, especially a 2-wheel drive. Don't need it but might just have to have it! Do you have an idea what he's looking for, money wise?....Bill S
