Still a legendary around hear in Alabama in high school. 2022/2026. I'm a softmore this year. I have a 01. My dad's 1999 has 440k miles still runs strong.
I love the 5.3 there some of the best built motors out there. My dads 1999 has 440k miles and doesn't tik or smoke. My 01 has 230 and its just getting broken in lol
Some stuff does run real good before they blow up, the engine gets loose and has less rolling resistance but is still within spec. Then it goes downhill from there. Or it was good and cleaned out by that point.
@@jeremiahpage Id say it probably cleaned out the carbon real good from the ports in the heads, valves, Plugs, Piston's etc. As well as cleaned out the injectors and fuel rails etc. My truck sat for 3 year, I got it running and held it on the limiter later that day. Only for about 15 seconds everyday and it would run better and better. That was 8 months ago. Its a 99 5.3 its my daily. I drive it kinda hard and it sees the rev limiter daily. I do very good maintainence on it i must add. 3-4k mile oil change internals, I change the powersteering fluid every other oil change. Its calls for 5w30 i run 10w30 full synthetic STP brand oil and AC-Delco filter. It loves it lol
@@hotwheelsracer6380 10w30 isn't any better for it. Just the cold weight. If anything it just takes longer to get the oil into the components when it's cold resulting in a dry start. I've heard lots of debate on going to 0w30.
@matthewmorgan582 my dad's chevy has 440k miles and we run castral 10w40 full synthetic. It doesn't smoke or tik. We run that oil in all our vehicles and alot of our cars last long than other people's cars. We normally do our oil changes around 15k miles and I can say we definitely haven't been easy on my dad's truck lol.
@@nano-gq9tv Yeah, I run Amsoil and I use a Lucas Oil high mileage additive. Car runs like silk at 260k. I would change it at at least 10k with synthetic though. Full synthetic only has to be like 40% synthetic. Amsoil is 100% synthetic. Pennzoil is also really good. Is the truck a diesel?
Back in 2000, I purchased a subaru brat with an ea81 in it for 200$. Long story short, I did this same thing, and after 4 or 5 hours I got tired of hearing it so I just turned it off. Pulled the engine and trans and sold them for 300$. Those old subaru motors were nuts.
And to think some guy is gonna pull that motor out of a junkyard, rebuild it, and throw 20lbs of boost at it for another 350k. It may be blown up but that engine is still gonna out live all of us😂
They love it. Half the neighborhood starts something up when I do. Derby cars over there, harlys and quads over here, old tractors across the field. Only one Karen and she don't complain anymore. 😁. File complaint in the air box, proceed to the rev limiter.
I was about to ask the same thing. I have an '03 just about identical to this one with 93k on the clock. This was a tough one to watch but clearly it was destined for the scrapyard anyway. Gives me faith that my engine will outlive the rest of the truck
I swear the 53 Hass to be one of the most durable Chevy engine but I swear to God those things do not blow up. I bet that thing only locked up because it got hot. If that thing cools down I bet it you it will turn over again.
@@jeremiahpagemy mom's 07 in park will not go past 4k but in drive it will go right at the limiter. And our 06 gmc yukon has the same motor as that suburban in the video will git 5.8k in park but they made it to where it doesn't Bounce its smooth. I think they changed that in 04? I now the motors are the same 1999/06. The 1999/02 have cable throttle and 04 up have electric throttle so that's probably why our 06 has a smooth revlimter.
What a waste. These LS engines are the new go to engine for hot rodders and car builders. With all of the you tubers that love to blow these motors up, there won't be many good blocks and heads left.
I have pulled dozens out of the weeds, most have went to a junk yard that also pulls and sells parts, sacrificing one or 2 for some fun isn't going to hurt.
There’s a reason everyone uses these things. They’re a dime a dozen, easy to get parts for, and also because nobody cares if they blow up. Rebuilding/fixing an LS is a lot easier than anything else. It’s like Ford’s 4.6L, or the 5.7L Hemi. There’s loads of the things out there.
Somewhere around 800. Can't remember exactly. But every vehicle is different, cats pay different, some aluminum rims are lighter than others. And that's just the scrap, I sold other parts.
Then go watch something else big dog. Holding my phone straight up and down, push the full screen button at the bottom and it fills my screen. Maybe learn to use your phone before making yourself sound stupid. Or sence this is my video I could just delete your comment but that would be as petty as your comment. Lmfao at people like you. 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@jeremiahpage not to defend this dickweed, but the point is, a video is much more pleasant to watch when it’s horizontal, especially if it’s watched on a computer. I would give you that as advice, not say you have to do it. 👍

It’s crazy these engines can go over a million miles if maintained
Yes sir, i appreciate the view.
Bru you should’ve cut the muffler give us just that much better of on experience 😂
Yes I should have. It was just a factory muffler, no cats
Sad to see one of these breathe it’s last breath. These were legendary when I was in highschool ‘09-‘13
Still a legendary around hear in Alabama in high school. 2022/2026. I'm a softmore this year. I have a 01. My dad's 1999 has 440k miles still runs strong.
Shows just how great these engines really are
Yes it does. High mileage and still lasted like 10 minutes on the limiter and probably would have went longer if the rad didn't blow.
It definitely prolly just spun a main bearing locking everything up😂. Gotta love those 5.3’s
I like how it sucked up the mouse nest 😂😂😂😂 air intake
Yeah that was pretty cool. Was a wtf moment.
@@jeremiahpageI couldn’t help but laugh at that. I was not expecting that at all. 😂😂
To quote "Neutral Drop": "she's locked up".
It sounded like an old school muscle car.
It was making lots of different sounds that day,
This engine is made of gold
never saw a 5.3 blow like that. must've already had issues. most healthy 5.3s can survive tons of abuse
Yes high miles and I've been giving it Alot of abuse the past couple weeks.
@@jeremiahpage3V 5.4 would’ve blew up hella quicker
@@smashthings4fun oh yeah. Probably would have self destruct
@@jeremiahpage it happened at cash for clunkers back in 09😂🤣
Also vortec 4.8 and 6.0 are literally built different 😂
Dang, you should've used it as a Demolition Derby vehicle. I feel sad for the poor Tahoe.
@@Entity_BlackRed777 I'm building a avalanche right now for derby
Anyone else start waving there hand up and down like Carolina squat style 🤣🤣🤣
Lol. Your hand might get tired. This went on for awhile
@@jeremiahpage 🤣🤣
Aint no way shes dead.let it cool down and let her hit that limiter again. its a 5.3
I tried the next morning. It's locked up.
@@jeremiahpage they always seem to lock up. but never self destruct
average day in the rezz
I love the 5.3 there some of the best built motors out there. My dads 1999 has 440k miles and doesn't tik or smoke. My 01 has 230 and its just getting broken in lol
My 99 has 230k as well and runs so good. It was pretty neglected before I picked it up at 220k also.
2:09 damn look at that oil pressure😂
Healthy too
It never made pressure like that until this day. 😁
THIS is why the gen 3 GM smallblock is the go to swap engine. I will probably never use anything else
Before it blew the hose it sounded like it was running better lol

Lightly used. Lol
Cool video even though overheating engines can lead to fires
You should’ve kept it for a spare engine
I binge watch these types of videos. ❤
sounded cammed when it ran out of gas
That engine must’ve been put through hell prior to this
OH YEAH, many minute long rev limiter burnout
your poor neighbors lol this was awsome
They used to complain. They finally realized that it doesn't do them any good. Actually just one Karen.
The most science to ever come out of Ohio! Good job
Lmao. 😂
And to think some guy is gonna pull that motor out of a junkyard, rebuild it, and throw 20lbs of boost at it for another 350k.
It may be blown up but that engine is still gonna out live all of us😂
Guaranteed. It didn't make a window. Definitely rebuildable.
I bet a cord wouldn’t make it half as long
Making great oil pressure. Surprised all the gauges worked.
Yes it did, I was also surprised that they worked, everything else on it was broken
this guys poor neighbors
They love it. Half the neighborhood starts something up when I do. Derby cars over there, harlys and quads over here, old tractors across the field. Only one Karen and she don't complain anymore. 😁. File complaint in the air box, proceed to the rev limiter.
Ls for the win. If he didn't put flower in it, it would have ran forever.
Maybe if it was moving, not enough airflow to keep it cool.
Home made cam😂😂
I thought I was listening too a call centre!
That’s it I’m buyin a gm
Subscribed
This should be a Chevy commercial
Definitely lasted longer than I thought it would
Were you about to start feeding it flour before it died? 😂
Yes, yes I was...
I bet the neighbors really appreciate it, yeah, you cut the pipe off. even louder, so your neighbors could even like it even more.
That poor 5.3 lol
It loved every minute, right up until the radiator blew.
@@jeremiahpageit’s amazing that the engine itself wasn’t even the failure point.
how many miles, videos like these make me want to let loose a little more since i baby my 5,3 but i want to beat on it sometimes lol
I cant remember exactly. It was like 350,000 or something like that. Most 5.3s take it great, keep oil in it and don't overheat it to bad.
I was about to ask the same thing. I have an '03 just about identical to this one with 93k on the clock. This was a tough one to watch but clearly it was destined for the scrapyard anyway. Gives me faith that my engine will outlive the rest of the truck
2:17 Sounds like an old steam train!!
Yes, very much. That's the stock muffler trying like hell to do it's job. Lol
those engines are built proof
It helps that the actual redline is 7700rpm, but factory set to around 6000rpm. Makes it hard to wear them out.
@@jeremiahpagewon't last that high, 6800 is reliable with new valvesprings
@@chunkiermango7982 for sure. 7200 wouldn't hurt.
I swear the 53 Hass to be one of the most durable Chevy engine but I swear to God those things do not blow up. I bet that thing only locked up because it got hot. If that thing cools down I bet it you it will turn over again.
If someone got the engine as a spare, it would be better for him than to bother him like this 😢
cant say a Toyota would last that long
It would. 😂
Nope.@@jaredfletcher1587
Self installed cam towards the end
I bet if that thing cools down it will turn over
It was stuck. I tried next day with jumper cables, smoked the starter wires.
Whats the flour supposed to do???
Blow it up
Temp isn’t pegged it’s at 240 no different than killing a huge hill at full throttle
I climb some long hills in my avalanche, 10,000 pounds on the trailer, 2nd gear, 5500rpm for minutes at a time. Never gets over 210.
Bruh u could of kept it as a spare engine that hurts to see thag happen😂
No biggie, 5.3s are plentiful.
Can I have the headlights, and a few other interior parts?
I would if I still had it. What year you have?
O hell ya bruthur
Engine head puller
Should have cut the exhaust, headers only
Why do newer 5.3s not hit limiter like this. My 08 revved out at 4k and so does my 14 now
They have Alot of safety features. Try holding it between park and reverse not sure if it will work but worth a shot. Let me know...
Soft limiter. It's there so you don't do a neutral drop and destroy the transmission.
@@jeremiahpagemy mom's 07 in park will not go past 4k but in drive it will go right at the limiter.

@@nano-gq9tv on the 04 if you floor it, let off and floor it again, it should start bouncing. My 05 avalanche does, sometimes takes a few tries.
@@nano-gq9tvwith a tune you should be able to get rid of the soft rev limiter
Why did you want to blow it up in the first place?
Something to do. 5.3s are very plentiful around these parts. The engine was the only part of that truck that still worked.
@@jeremiahpage that's fair
IT AINT GOT NO GAS
It runs on blunt smoke. LMAO 🤣
Just sold engine
5.3 live a long time
