I have a 2007 Tahoe with 5.3 Flex-Fuel and as we all know, lifter collapse.
While a new motor would be the best, but is around $6500 at dealer. The next option would be a new Crate motor. Third option would be rebuilt with new lifters.
I was hoping to hear from others who may have had this problem, see which option they choose and see how it worked out. If circumstances were different I would hands down go new from dealer. But I was hurt on an on the job injury, got cut off by workmans comp (case still open) but was able to retire in order to have a paycheck coming in but I'm playing catchup from having no income, so funds are tight. I'm trying to figure my options and looking for potential avenues. Thanks in advance!
