Just picked up used 2015 GMC sierra with 5.3 . I guess the lifters were replaced right before I got it. Not even 1k miles and I had one fail on me yesterday morning. I thought these gen V motors were good to go ?
How many other guys out there having the same issue ?

Should still be under the 100k mile warranty

I work at a GM dealer and haven't heard of a lot of this. Lifters are an item that will fail but I would never say it's a problem at least in my area in Texas

Do you know if ALL the lifters were replaced or just the bad one?

Is this a dod/afm truck?

There's a reason most fellas just do the dod delete.

I didnt think it was common on gen V motors. Googled it and seen alot of guys with the issue. Guy here at my job has a 2015 silverado with L83 and said it happen to him twice already..

well in a total within 3k miles it has happen 3 times. Gm doesn't feel the need to replace motor yet. Last time they replaced the lifter they also replaced a oil manifold piece. They feel confident in the repair now. Ive only own the truck a month, tried to get them to buy it back and they wont give me what i paid for it .. What a garbage situation ... Yes ive been in contact with GMC customer care and the rep is said they dont feel engine should be replaced yet.

See if they'll warranty a DOD delete if that's something you'd want and place the former lifters in there. However, they might not want to set that precedent where they would basically be admitting that a key feature is faulty.

I'd be talking to an attorney and lemon law'ing it. That ***** for the birds. If GM can't explain it, or won't explain it then they are not doing their due diligence on the matter.
