Spoke to several shops and all agreed that a Jasper replacement engine was the best option. All agreed that disabling the EFM feature was a good way to get the best performance from the new engine. It cost me $6,400 in Cleveland Texas for turnkey 5.3 L replacement and after 3 weeks and 2,000 miles everything is working as it should. Will miss the fuel economy however.
