My squeak (in a 2011 Av 5.3) turned out to be a stuck lifter ROLLER. Gad. Wiped out the cam. Took off the heads and discovered #8 cylinder was so far out of round the rings weren't even touching the back side of the bore.
Always wondered why the oil got so dirty so fast.
One would think that it would be misfiring, or be down on power, but I raced a buddy's nearly identical truck, and both were the same. Go figure.
Bought an L96 6.0 for it. Plus a shit-ton of other parts - billet converter, cam, studs, etc. etc. Don't ask me how it runs. It's been sitting for 5 years now - the 6.0 is still on the engine stand. Other priorities.
I hope I can remember where everything came from - assuming I ever get around to finishing it, that is...

Yup, I had a project like that once. The secret to getting started again is to dedicate 30-60 minutes every other day for a couple of weeks. I did that by getting up a half hour earlier, cutting my 60 minute morning workouts short by 30 minutes, and heading out to the garage for an hour. Even if all you do is install a few bolts, it's progress that adds up quicker than you think it will. You'll have it done in no time and be surprised when you do.
