Re: 06 5.3 Loud tick Lifter?

ok just to bring this back up, I finished my lifter swap and it seems to have fixed my tapping issue. Mine is older and not DOD and I even understand the newer ones have the "better" lifters.
It is a chore since you remove the intake, exhaust and heads. I took a chance and only removed those and hoped it was not anything deeper. It sounded like lifter noise and it was, I will finish getting her together and drive to make sure.
