OBVIOUSLY YOU DID NOT READ THE POST. MY TRUCK IS FIXED. I HAD THE CAM SWAP IS DONE I COULD CARE LESS ABOUT"GETTING ATTENTION".I GUESS I DO SOUND LIKE I AM COMPLAINING BECAUSE I AM.BUT OBVIOUSLY THAT IS NOT WHAT THIS FORUM IS ABOUT. THANKS FOR THE ADVICE ON WHERE TO REDIRECT THE BLAME.IF YOU DON'T THINK GM IS RESPONSIBLE PUT YOUR HEAD BACK IN THE SAND. DONE WITH THIS FORUM . PEACE

NOT LOOKING FOR HELP MY TRUCK IS FIXED , JUST SAYING THE ENGINE HAS A POORLY DESIGNED VALVE TRAIN.AND IF YOU THINK "I'M 27 AND EVEN I ...."IS TRYING TO BE HELPFUL I THINK YOU ARE MISTAKEN. A SQUIRREL IS SOME YOUNG DUDE THAT HASN'T LIVED YET THAT GIVES AN UNSOLICITED COMMENT JUST LIKE THAT.

NOT LOOKING FOR HELP IF YOU READ THE POST YOU WOULD KNOW I ALREADY DID THE AFM DELETE.MY POINT IS ANY TRUCK WITH AFM IS A SHITTY TRUCK AND YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE TO REPLACE YOUR VALVETRAIN TO MAKE THE ENGINE RIGHT.

NOBODY CARES HOW OLD YOU ARE OR WHAT YOU WOULD OR WOULD NOT BUY SQUIRREL.EVERY NON AFM 5.3, 6.0 OR 6.2L ANYONE IN MY FAMILY HAS OWNED OR STILL HAS ARE WELL OVER 100K. THE POST WAS TO SAY THE VALVE TRAIN IS GARBAGE AND PRONE TO FAILURE AT 1000 OR 100,000 MILES.IF A TRUCK HAS TO HAVE THE FACTORY DESIGN ALTERED TO BE DEPENDABLE IS IT REALLY A GOOD TRUCK???

IF YOU ARE 4X4 COST IS ANY WHERE FROM $1500-2000 FOR LABOR TO DO DELETE.I DON'T KNOW WHAT PLANET THEY DO IT FOR $500.00 ON.YOU CAN'T EVEN GET 1 HEAD PULLED AND LIFTER REPLACED FOR $500.00 LABOR . UNLESS YOU HAVE A SHOP CHARGING YOU $25.00/HOUR I DON'T SEE THAT $500.00 PRICE.YOU HAVE TO EVEN HAVE TO DROP THE OIL PAN TO DO THIS.ABOUT $1000.00 IN PARTS IF YOU ARE GOING TO ADDRESS OIL PUMP AND TIMING COMPONENTS WHILE YOU'RE IN THERE.IT IS A GOOD 15-20 HOUR JOB. DIABLO MAKES A GOOD TUNER NOT REAL EXPENSIVE AND ALLOWS SOME DECENT ADVANCED TUNE OPTIONS LIKE AFM DISABLE, TIRE SIZE(IF YOUR TRUCK IS LIFTED TO CORRECT SPEEDO) GOVERNOR OFF , SHIFT POINTS ETC.

I HAD THE AFM DISABLED WITH A DIABLO TUNER WHEN I HAD ALL THE PROBLEMS.DELETE HAS BEEN DONE TO THE TUNE OF ABOUT $3000.00.I CANT BELIEVE YOU BOUGHT ANOTHER ONE ! I USED TO LAUGH AT THE FORD GUYS THAT BRAGGED HOW BULLET PROOF THEIR JUNK WAS AFTER HAVING TO PUT $10,000.00 IN THE MOTOR.I AM IN THE WOODS AL LOT , GETTING OLDER AND JUST WANTED A NICER RIDE THAN THE 2500 OFFERED BUT IF I STAY WITH GM I WILL HAVE TO GO WITH A DURAMAX AND DEAL WITH THE BUMPY RIDE OF THE 2500.SORRY ABOUT ALL CAPS WHERE I WORK WE JUST LEAVE IT ON SO CUSTOMERS CAN READ IT EASIER I'M NOT YELLING.LOL

10/4 THANKS FOR THE RESPONSE.I JUST FIGURED SINCE JUST ABOUT EVERYONE THAT SOLD THE DELETE KITS WERE HAVING TROUBLE GETTING CAMSHAFTS THERE WERE A LOT OF FOLKS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE.JASPER NOW OFFERS A REMAN NOW WITHOUT THE AFM/DOD.GOT TO BE A REASON FOR THAT.

I THINK I FIGURED OUT WHY THE PREVIOUS OWNER DUMPED MY TRUCK. I HAD 350,000 MY ON MY OLD 2000 GMC 2500 6.0 SO I WASN'T SCARED OF MILEAGE.BOUGHT THIS BEAUTIFUL 2015 1500 SLT WITH 98K ON IT AND ALMOST IMMEDIATELY LOST AN AFM LIFTER.$1200.00 REPAIR FAST FORWARD 1 YEAR ANOTHER $1200.00 SAME ISSUE (NOW THESE ARE DELCO PARTS THEY DON'T HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH)GO ANOTHER 3 DAYS AND ANOTHER LIFTER IS IN 5 PIECES.WELL NOW I AM OUT ANOTHER $3000.00 TO DO A DELETE I SHOULD HAVE DONE IN THE BEGINNING.JUST REACHING OUT TO GET AN IDEA HOW WIDESPREAD THIS ISSUE IS AND IF ANYONE WOULD CARE TO JOIN A CLASS ACTION SUIT AGAINST THEIR HORRIBLE DESIGN.I AM 55 AND HAVE DRIVEN GM ALL MY LIFE I'VE CONTACTED GM CUSTOMER SERVICE AND RECEIVED NOTHING BUT GENERIC RESPONSES"HAVE YOU MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH OR CONTACTED ON OF OUR DEALERS".YOU CALL A DEALER AND THE PARTS AND SERVICE GUYS KIND OF CHUCKLE AND SAY YOU SHOULD DO A DELETE BUT GM WILL NOT OWN IT. PLEASE REPLY AND I WILL GET THE PARTY STARTED IF I RECEIVE ENOUGH RESPONSE.ALREADY HAVE A LAWYER INTERESTED.
