Ok, I can swing buying the stuff for the troubled side, just not both. I appreciate the help
I would wait until you can afford it. The cam could be pitted and if that’s the case it will ruin the new lifter and you’ll be doing it all over again. I would tear down both sides that way you can get a good look at the camshaft through the lifter holes while you spin it over.
That is why I recommended what I did about the teardown. Band aids tend to come back and bite you in the ass. Tear it down once and look at it and then KNOW what the cost is to fix it right.
Everything you guys have said has help tremendously. I was looking at the kits, they are not as expensive as I had thought, but there are afm delete kits and regular afm kits. Which is honestly better?
I don't have to deal with AFM on my 2005 but there are bunches and bunches of threads here to read thru about the plus and minus of AFM.
+1. I assembled my own kit so I could get exactly the parts I wanted for my 2012. The kits are composed of compromises to get to a competitive price point. E.g. in my case, they all had cams designed for the 5.3 but were "compatible" with the 6.2. I wanted a cam that was engineered specifically for the 6.2. Since you have the 5.3 though, most of the kits would likely be a good match for yours.
I appreciate all the info you guys have given me. It's definitely made things easier for me. Believe it or not the kits for the afm delete are cheaper. I'm going to pull the valve cover and head on the driverside and see what it looks like. Hopefully the valves and springs are still in good shape. Thanks again for everyone's input. Once I'm finished I'll check back to let everyone know how it went
Good luck and please do let us know what you find.
