Man that sucks I almost posted earlier asking if it was the same truck you had transmission issues with.
If the cylinder is really toast and you want to fix it I wouldn’t rebuild that engine unless it’s really simple. The machine work is rarely worth it, those blocks are a dime a dozen. Id buy a used engine with the old cam that doesn’t have the afm lifters. A lot of guys just bought a whole brand new engine from the dealership (10k) when they dropped a lifter. I absolutely would get a different vehicle before I’d put 10 more grand into the same engine.
I have a 2011 with 210k, ready to spend the money if it ever drops a lifter just because cars are absolutely ridiculous right now.

Got a 2010 Yukon with 165k and had the AFM electronically disabled around 100k miles when I dropped a lifter. No issues with it since then, fingers crossed. If I could go back I'd probably go ahead and get a full DOD delete but just didn't have the cash to drop at the time.
If I buy a used '15+ GM vehicle with DOD I'll probably do a full delete to never have to deal with it.

The compression on all the other cylinders were fine. I need to see if they checked the lifter, could the valve be stuck open causing no compression on the cylinder? And it just be a lifter issue? I may be completely wrong.
