Noticed one morning when starting up my truck the valves were tapping. Like out of adjustment. My 5.3 is roller lifters so i was surprised. Took it to dealer and was told that gm had a recall on cadillac, chevy and gmc 5.3 and 6.2 engines with defective lifters. Dealer replaced the lifters. Took a week. When i picked up truck service adviser told me to expect to come back around 60k for a new camshaft. Now what! *tr
