Unless you want to do an aftermarket cam, then do a dual valve spring. I like the Brian Tooley Racing ones.Scott Ganow

I've changed every 3k with full synthetic. From what I've read online ls motors are prone to lifter tick, and piston slap. It's my first cheby so I don't know too much about them. Shoulda gone ford...Originally posted by Cooter View PostComment

Maintenance and cost of ownership wise I think you probably did good with the 5.3 over a 5.4.Originally posted by blkpony98 View PostComment

yeah, but that was 10yrs ago... I'd say if you've gotten 10 trouble-free years out of it, you can't really expect that a Ford would have done better.Originally posted by blkpony98 View Post
I've seen F150's with cam issues also from that era. I think you chose the right truck

Wish I knew exactly. They were all clean inside w no sludge or build up. This one only wiped out 2 lobes and 1 lifter. The others had a few more in a random order. Wonder if bad materials or treatment. Good time to upgrade if ya gotta do it.Originally posted by Nash B. View Post
And you did fine going with Chevy. Dodge would have been better
