how many miles do you have? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Well, recently turned 254,000 and have first problem. If it idles too long, I can hear a lifter tapping pretty good. Once I drive a bit, it goes away. Research shows this is common issue with AFM motors from 08. Supposedly there is an updated lifter that fixed this issue. Many failed before the 100k mark so I guess I got my moneys worth. Going to check on cam and lifter replacement I guess. Motor still doesn't use more than 1/2 quart every 6000 miles. Overall, still pleased with truck. Its never left me stranded so I can't complain.
