That's why you shop around - not every shop charges the same rate and some of the better shops will charge more because "you pay for what you get", which I'd be okay with that knowing good quality workmanship is behind the cost. Other shops up and coming that know they are good need to build a reputation and will charge less to gain a customer base and adjust accordingly. Frankie is a good guy on here, if he says it cost him $500 then it cost him $500. Higher 4x4 traffic areas like TX will have better rates with more work coming in than somewhere like MI where most shops around here are Jeep shops due to Silver Lake and all of our sand dunes.

 

Seriously though, I think your Caps Lock button is broken. Press it.

im 27, and even i wouldnt buy anything with 100k unless it was an LBZ duramax. my father has a 2016 LML, and they have issues too. especially with the DPF clogging all stock. 

 

these motors are good. and so are the trucks. i just put efilvie on my 2016 5.3 last week, im at 30k miles, disabled DOD, and if i drop a lifter, im going full LS7 lifters and a cam. 

 

do it once and be done, or dump the truck. 

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???

So what is your plan then?  Fix it with the same lifters? Better lifters? Or sell the truck. I don’t get the point of your posts. 
you bought a shitty truck. Sorry?

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.

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.

[roadkill5.3]

So you came here to complain and look for attention. 
Your right. You shouldn’t have to replace with ls7 lifters. But this issue is common since they started doing this. Just as all the issues with diesels and their exhausts, to meet epa guidelines. Blame the epa for increasing the requirements for fuel economy. 
ls7 lifters are bullet proof. Do it once and be done if it happens again. Or sell the truck

I’ve lived enough so far pal, you don’t know me.  I’m not stooping down to your level of intelligence. 
go complain that you bought a defective truck on Facebook for attention. This is a forum for help, and feedback and learning new information. You came here with the intent to complain and to look for attention and it clearly shows with each additional post you make. 
Also, goodluck with your lawsuit. If you act the way you act in here, goodluck in court.

Well the guy that did it works at the Chevy Dealership but he did it on the side at his house, trust me I know I looked at a few shops they were charging 1200-2500$ for labor... Im telling them what I paid for it no reason to lie I’m sure if u looked around you could of find a decent price. No reason to change the oil pump unless u wanna waste more money, my truck runs excellent no problems been a year an 3 months and 32,000 miles later.

 

“I’m more then happy with what I paid.”
