That’s the next generation of LS engine. Now called an LT.I guess I'm old. I don't know what you guys are talking about and that looks like a motor from a Honda.
The 5.3L code is L83
The 6.2L code is L86 until ‘19 or ‘20 then it is L84 and L87.

I just know I'm not cool without an LS swap and tons.

Did you give much thought to an '82 or '84 L83?

Is that LT different than the LT1?
I'm always amazed at how you guys can remember the L83, L86, etc. And recognize them in a photo!
I am looking mileage. I have not researched far enough to find the use for the vacuum pump. The 4 cylinder option is going to be maintained, I hope.
You are regressing by buying all of those old trucks and car.I guess I'm old. I don't know what you guys are talking about and that looks like a motor from a Honda.
They are almost the same. Intake, cam and tuning basically. The LT4 is the supercharged version
Trucks went to full electric steering in 2014 on the 1/2 ton models.
The vacuum pump is there for the power brakes only.

From what I understand, the dod is mostly for emissions and doesn’t do much for mileage. BUT, ymmv haha.
More conflicting information. I feel like I am at a Biden/Fauci press briefing.
I though the pump was for brakes from what I read. I will have to research the cylinder delete process.
Was just talking to my brother. He bought a 2021 1550 4wd. Said it has a 10 speed transmission, by Ford. I guess we know where his failure point will be.
I had to look up ymmv. I am so old.
If that is the case, it may go away. Can the PS pump he has on that engine run hydroboost and a steering assist and the steering gear? So many questions.

It's for brakes and DOD. When it goes into 4 cyl it doesn't create enough vacuum to operate the brakes. I've turned it off on all of my vehicles and never noticed more than .5mpg loss and you don't have to deal with that stupid helicopter sound that happens when it goes in to that.
Good to know. I will add that to the list.
I've seen some chatter on some forums about folks removing the vac pump and not having an issue with the brakes but it's a lot of work (at least with the engine in the truck) to do for little gain.
What I like was that there is a belt there to run a PS pump already. If I could fit one. A P-pump with remote reservoir and cooler would be nice. My goal is to not have any actual frame past the engine mounts. So space will not be an issue. Front sheet metal and winch mount will be on an engine cage.
10 speed was designed WITH Ford. Hearing good things about them. DEEP 1st gears and three OD’s.
I've heard nothing but good on the 10spds. A real nice feature is they'll skip gears when downshifting instead of going through each gear like the 6 and 8 spds do. They can handle a ton of power to. I'm told the Ford programming is way better than the GM for whatever reason.
I was just trying to bash the blue oval. Now you have burst my bubble.
Desertk5’s rig is running his p.s. pump down there but it’s a type 2 pump. We may be relocating it up on the new higher mount
I don’t like them either but gotta give credit where credit is due.
I don't think that would work. I've been doing recall repairs on the L83 trucks for loss of vacuum and subsequent loss of braking assist. Main repair is reprogramming the abs module allowing more braking assist coming from the abs system in low vacuum situations. Some still lack assist after the reprogramming so the vacuum pump ends up getting replaced under a special coverage warranty extension.
The 10 speed is a bad ass trans. It's first use was in the ZL1 Camaro for Chevy and the Raptor pickup for Ford. In the trucks, it always seems like it's in the right gear. Having the deep low gears in it is a big reason why they don't put really deep gears in the axles anymore. 3.42's as deep as they run. I'd still run a deeper gear with bigger tires, but the tall OD gears help make up for any axle ratio and tire size you plan on running.
That was the other style I was looking at. Not sure if it will run everything.
