rockfangd Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 What submodel is your Deville? Base, DHS? DTS. I believe that 2005 will be a vin 9 engine which is a 300hp Northstar and if yours is a Y that means you have the 275 HP Northstar. The transmissions are different in the way that they shift, The Ecms are different, and other things are likely different. I am sure other members will pitch in here. Welcome To Caddyinfo. If you dont mind, What is wrong with the current engine? GM FAN FOREVER Nice, clean, luxury= fine automobile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will the sts engine fit in my 01? I have a Y in my VIN. NUMBER 2005 STS is RWD - 2001 Deville is FWD. No way the the engine from the 2005 STS will work in the 2001...

Logan Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 I was sort of looking for one on my '01....I think a 2003 engine will drop right in. I think the pistons were slightly changed for 2003 with a anti slap coating...so salvage yards show it as a 'one' year engine only. Used 2003 engines are very cheap and plentiful because of this. 2004 engines saw a lot of changes. One being the coil banks were changed to individual coils...so the ignition system alone is a show stopper. But that may simply require swapping the valve covers...that said...there certainly could be and likely are other differences..

rockfangd Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 I wasnt completely sure on the RWD so I didnt post that, and the COP setup also means different harness and ecm GM FAN FOREVER Nice, clean, luxury= fine automobile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
