Available Engine Sizes for the Tahoe

[Davco]

I'm getting a 2003 Tahoe LT (called it an LS in a different thread...my mistake). I was looking on MSN Autos and they say the motor is a 4.8 rated at 275 hp. According to the sticker on the engine, my Tahoe is a 5.3 but MSN makes it look like the 4.8 is the only size available. I'm sure MSN must be wrong so the question is this:

Is there a reliable source that will tell me all the available engine options and their rated HP/TQ numbers?

If it's an LT it has the Vortec 5300 (5.3L with 295 HP).

His is an '03... the available engines were 4.8L(275hp), 5.3L (285hp), 5.3L Flex fuel (I have the same one... except mine is NOT an LT...) I believe the 5.3 was standard in the LT.

Except for the HP rating. :thumbsup:

GM has a habit of doing that. in 1993, when they used the LT1 in the Camaro, it was 265hp... in 1995, it was 275hp... in 1997, it was 285hp. Same with the 'vette...

LOL... If I could have afforded a Denali or Escalade, I would have.. unfortunately, I had to deal with a dealership and couldn't get the '02 Lade I was looking at.
