re: Houston Mechanic Reccommendation? - 2017 Chevy 5.3 ticking

Mine did this at 100k miles. Like 105,000
Barely out of warranty.
I was quoted around $4k in 2020 because they have to fix them all or you damage cam shaft and it’s basically totaled.
I sold it.
Literally the same truck as you. And I’ve warned others.
PS: a mechanic told me to sell it because he had seen it with almost every 5.3L Chevy from that year. I straight up told the dealership salesman that sold it to me…that he sold me a lemon. He just put his head down.
Also, when I sold it, I traded it Toyota Slidell for full carmax value without the lifter cost. Tells you how much it would cost them to fix it in house.

That’s why the gmc &. Chevy dealers are offering lifetime power train warranties.

I actually just got my 2018 Yukon Denali back from getting a full AFM/DOD delete last week. I plan to do a larger writeup about it but if it's a simple tick, it could be one of your standard lifters. However, if the tick becomes a tap and you get a cylinder misfire warning light, you have a collapsed AFM/DOD lifter that will remain collapsed until you have someone pull the heads and get it out. Here's comparison to a normal hydraulic roller lifter versus a AFM/DOD:
I bought that Yukon with 97k miles on it (in fantastic shape) and knew those lifters are just ticking timebombs and a question of when they will actually collapse and not come back. So, I bought an AFM/DOD delete kit from AMS Racing and it included a Brian Tooley Racing camshaft and lifters of your choice. The truck runs great and the engine should go the long haul like I plan to use it.
