5.3 vs 6.0 throtle body are they the same size?

I found an Airaid intake on craigslist for a good price, it's for a 6.0. Anyone know of it will fit on a 5.3 TB.

Thanks

As long as both the engines are in 99-2006 year range then yes the tube will fit. I think the 2007+ trucks would be the same also, but I'm not sure about them.

I'm pretty sure they're the same....alot of cold air kits are the same for 4.8, 5.3 and 6.0l.....
