they are very easy engines to swap out.
are you mechanically inclined? are you wanting to do it yourself?
well, GM and jasper engines make a good reman. they both have a 3yr 100k warranty.Ya I'll probably end up doing the swap, I'm looking for the best place to get a long block right now.
you also can take your PC solenoid out of your transmission and turn the little screw on the back of it to increase line pressure. will get firm shifts after that tooThe LQ4 is a very easy motor to pull and replace, my biggest concern would be how many miles you have on your rig? 2wd or 4wd? Is the rig worth investing at least $2500 dollars, and that's a price with you doing the work. I say that because the burban as well as my Yukon XL start to see tranny issues at 150k plus. I just clicked over 125k on my 03 Yukon XL 4wd and did a complete trans flush, filter, and fluids. Was night and day on shifting and firmness on the shifts. Said to see what my Yukon XL is worth on the used market. Love it.

i dont pull the radiator when doing an engine swap on those. if i were to do it at work i would pull transmission then engine. but thats me working with a vehicle hoistIt has 156k on the clock, its 4x4 and in really good shape. I'm tempted to just rebuild the tranny while its down. I thought about pulling the radiator and grill etc... And pulling tranny with motor ?
We've also got a 2500 Burb, that I'll prolly be doing this on later down the road, so some practice is in order I guess
Ooooooooo how I wish I had a hoisti dont pull the radiator when doing an engine swap on those. if i were to do it at work i would pull transmission then engine. but thats me working with a vehicle hoist
