Looks like I just had my lifter issue appear - 2016 Silverado 6.2 liter with 108k miles. Suddenly misfiring badly (engine light, traction control lights on dash). P0304 misfire code on engine. Local shop ruled out plugs, wires, coil packs, and fuel injector. Reading the forum is sounds pretty typical of this VFM induced failure.
QUESTION - I probably want to keep the truck long term (comfy, fast, and still paying it off!) so the choice is either (1) have a local shop fix the lifter(s), get it running right, and use the plug-in VFM delete controller.... or (2) fix it with the new cam and full mechanical delete kit (if I am using close enough tech terms). If going with the normal lifter fix and plug-in VFM delete, does it solve the problem of lifter collapse in the future as well as the full mechanical delete? I like the V4 highway miles, but not enough to have this threat of collapsed lifters hanging over my head forever.
And do you think its wise to have them change the timing chain while in there? Anything else??
