Well, just to help anyone else out with a current 2025 story of GM lifter failure.... My 2015 Silverado 1500 LTZ with 35k miles on the 5.3L L83 (carefully maintained) experienced the telltale lifter tick on the passenger side (either cyl no. 4 or 6) with hesitation under load and I had it brought (towed) to the dealership. Cylinder #6 lifter failure. Dealer quoted $4,680 to repair based on TSB 15-06-01-002H. If the camshaft was found also damaged, the bill goes to over $9000. "But you're getting a 2-year warranty with unlimited mileage!" they told me. Yeah, great. The 6-year powertrain warranty did me a lot of good (I don't think it was ever used). I've contacted corporate customer care along the way. Now I get to see what they have to say for all this, as I find this an absolutely unacceptable burden... and $9k+ is litigation territory in my humble opinion. This isn't just abuse or bad luck, we all know this is a full-blown design defect. So how's that class-action lawsuit coming along, gents?
