    Truck needs rings.. Or should I 6.0?

    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 Sent from my leather heated ass
