This.if you know you're trading it in, do the cheapest option and be done.
My 03 5.3 uses about a quart of oil per thousand miles. And trans is weak. Would it be more economical to 6.0/4l80e swap it or rebuild the 5.3?
Edit: Keep in mind I'm planning on tradong it for a 6.4 superduty or an lmm next year

Well not necessarily NEED a diesel, but it would be nice to not have to borrow my cousins dmax to take my tractors to shows or pull the pontoon up north. Not really all THAT concerned about the cost aspect as I am the value aspect. After all, is it really worth putting 3-5k into a truck worth $7k on a good day?GL, If you're worried about re-ringing a cheap LS based engine or tossing in a (relatively speaking) cheap 6.0, I would heavily chew over the diesel idea.
OE style injectors for those things are like $350+/ EACH last time I checked. Do you need a diesel or just want on the bandwagon?
(If money is no object, then more power to you BTW)
