Chevrolet Kodiak C5500 Engine

This is the Chevrolet Kodiak C5500 heavy duty gas V8 that GM intends to use in its medium‑duty chassis. The specifications and details contain the actual entrant: the 8.1L Vortec V8, a large block Overhead Valve platform with ample low-rpm stump pulling power, easy maintenance, and chilling, and it is a perfect pairing with vocational bodies, trailers, and legs thrown into stop‑and‑go traffic.

Built For Work You Can Count On

  • Strong low‑end torque for launches, grades, and loaded take‑offs.
  • Big‑block durability with proven castings and stout bottom‑end.
  • Simple maintenance: accessible accessories and conventional service items.
  • Calibrated for medium‑duty use: consistent performance in heat and heavy traffic.
  • Excellent parts availability across GM’s commercial network.

Confidence With Every Start

  • Thoroughly inspected for external leaks, mounting integrity, and rotation.
  • Factory‑style accessory drive layout for straightforward installation.
  • Compatible with OEM engine management for proper idle, drivability, and emissions.
  • Designed to run cool under load with ample oiling and cooling capacity.
  • Ideal replacement for high‑mileage or oil‑consuming original engines.

Performance

Look to feel great idle quality, instant throttle response and dominant mid-range pull that works well for city carriage on city streets and job site approaches. The high-level torque plateau of the 8.1L big-block gives dependable merging in even a loaded bed or tow vehicle; OEM management maintains predictable drive-ability in any weather condition.

2 reviews for Chevrolet Kodiak C5500 Engine for Sale

  1. Daniel Brooks

    This Chevrolet Kodiak C5500 8.1L engine was exactly what our work truck needed. Freight arrived palletized and well‑protected, with accessories capped and intact. Fired on the first crank after priming, smooth idle, and strong low‑end torque pulling our landscaping trailer. Oil pressure is steady, temps stay cool in August heat, and there’s zero valvetrain noise.

    -Clean take‑out, no broken tabs or sensors
    -Compression checked within spec
    -Perfect fit with factory mounts and harness
    -Clear communication and fast shipping

    If uptime matters, this big‑block is a home run.

  2. Amanda Reynolds

    Good, solid 8.1L for our C5500. It installed cleanly, started right up, and pulls strong with a smooth idle. Only minor note: one coil connector clip was brittle, so we replaced it during install—cheap and quick. After 1,200 miles, temps and oil pressure are steady, and it tows without drama. A dependable buy for a working truck.

Product Q&A

Is this identical to the GMC TopKick C5500 engine?

Yes—same GM platform.

What should be transferred from the old engine?

Typically sold as an engine assembly without ECM; harness inclusion varies by unit—check the inclusions line at order.

Recommended break‑in?

Use the correct oil, vary speed/load for 500–1,000 miles, avoid extended idling and full‑throttle runs initially, then perform an early oil/filter change.

Can this replace a diesel in the same chassis?

Not as a drop‑in. Gas‑to‑diesel swaps require extensive fuel, electrical, emissions, and driveline changes.
