Hey guys, thanks for the welcome!
When I get some time and some good pictures I will post them for you.
The reason I picked a 4.8L, is for a couple reasons:
1. Bought the truck 2.5 months ago, and that was the only 03' Arrival Blue V-8 LS1 in the area that was still for sale. End of year Sales Blowout, Saved $6K off of Sticker price.
2. Only Color I wanted, Biggest engine I could Find at time of purchase.
3. Basically the same as 5.3 & 6.0, think only difference is the crankshaft.
4. The truck is just a stripped down work truck with no options/ only options are
4.8LS1 and Auto 4L60E.
5. Light weight/ No Options/ LS1 V8/ Mods/ and Maybe in near future
Supercharger=Fast Truck for Not Much Money.
Hopefully that will answer some of the questions, why a 4.8L?
So Far, I am very happy I purchased the 4.8!!!!!!!

Well, I was just wondering? When I purchased mine I didn't know any of the differences between the two. But, after i purchased the truck I found LS1.com then FSC.com, then LS1tech.com, then here, and most of the sites dog the 4.8 hard. I like it, don't know any different I suppose. But I aspire to have a 5.7L LS1 someday. But in the mean time I am going to get the most out of my 4.8 that I can. Hopeing Allen can help with his tuning as soon as I save of some bucks.

You could go to Webshots.com and you can upload them there and post the link here, or you can send the pictures to farmtruc and he can post them for you. Hope that helps and any other way I am sure people will chime in.
