While driving back into town today the truck in next land tam over a huge L shaped piece of metal and it managed to fly into the side of my truck. It went through the paint and slightly dented the cab and also scratched minor parts of the bed (behind the cab...).

 

I'll call the insurance since our premium is $500 iirc, and fixing this will surely go over. FML.

And it may be called an L33, but you may in fact be getting a LM4. The LM4 is the aluminum 5.3 identical to its iron LM7 counterpart. The LM4 was in the Trailblazer, Rainier, Envoy, and SSR

 

 

They have the vehicle listed that it comes out of along with the Vin# for it. The one I'm leaning toward is out of an 05 Silverado with this VIN: 1GCEK19B55E136371

 

Is there a way of identifying that it's an L33 from anything on the engine block?

Casting numbers i am not sure. It will be aluminum and say 5.3L. The iron blocks say 4.8/5.3. I dont know the block differences in the LM4 and L33

Okay. I'll try a google search, see if I can find any information...

 

 

EDIT: Here's a link with some info: http://www.performancetrucks.net/forums/gmt-800-older-gm-general-discussion-130/how-identify-l33-498775/

 

A few things I took from it to identify,

 

- 799/243 Heads

- Knock Sensors are only found in the engine valley under the intake manifold

- Aluminum Block

The only difference in LM4 and L33 visually are the head casting numbers

Left yesterday morning for a weekend ski trip with a bunch of friends. Tonight got cut short for a few of us because my buddy messed up his wrist. Putting lots of miles on the truck this weekend!

The eighth digit of my Sierra's VIN is “B” which identifies it as an L33.

 

The L33: Aluminum engine block, new cylinder heads, flat-top pistons, and a high-lift cam – Increased torque and 315 horsepower..

A little ride in the cold to dinner with the Mrs.

[vettelovralexand]

Looks like i have a month and a half to find a helmet!

[Colossus]

My hood won't shut... did this last time it got really cold... I'm not happy.

 

I'm sorry, Sarah. We all must cross that bridge sooner or later in life as we get older, things just stop working or don't work as well as they did in years past. But have faith, we are all here to help and support one another!

Are the knock sensors only under the intake manifold on the LM4 too? I guess I'll just have to look at the casting numbers on the heads.

Yep, you're correct. I was just hoping there was something on the block itself to confirm that it is an L33. Hopefully the head casting numbers will be enough.
