Everything else is likely toast, on its way out, or has already been mauled to death by cheap mechanics and backyard fixes. Those kinds of trucks nickel and dime a guy to death. I wouldn't think having the top end cleaned once or twice would be a big deal on a 5.3 but maybe it is? Was commenting on the engine labs article on lifter failure.
