5.3 part identification

bushhog750 · Jul 12, 2013

Just wondering if someone can help me identify some parts on a 5.3. I've searched for about an hour now with everything I can possibly think of on google to find my answer before posting on here. If I take a picture of the couple parts can someone help me identify what it is and if its needed for the swap into my Jeep. Any help greatly appreciated. I just bought engine yesterday and I'm not real familiar with some of the small parts and sensors.

It maybe tonight before I check HL again, but between myself and the 1500 LS owners on this forum I think we can get it figured out for you

1) EGR VALVE

3) EVAP HOSE (I think)
4) MAP SENSOR

Damn son. That was easy. I don't remember seeing the egr valve on some other installs. Do I need that or can I remove it and its connecting pieces. The last swap I saw I believe had a plug over the hole on the intake that it runs into. And that oil level, will I need to get a new one or can I **** can it when I put the new oil pan on it. Thanks a lot bud.

You nailed it. Get rid of those 2 and their wiring and have them tuned out.

P.S. Your watch is gay :popcorn:

This on egr

NTIDWELL · Jul 12, 2013

This is what ur sensor should look like

bushhog750 · Jul 12, 2013

Just got done doing that. For time being. I found egr block off plates on Internet that I ordered a few of. They were cheap and another buddy needs one also. I'll get map sensor tomorrow.

for your egr you can also use a rubber expandable freeze plug I forgot what size. The 6.0 with hyroboost brakes have a plug in the intake for your booster if you can come up with one.
