frick the 5.3l with the dreaded AFM lifters.
I wouldn't have done it, but after putting about 180,000 miles on one, it doesn't really bother me. Started burning between 1/2 and 1 quart every oil change after about 7 years/145,000 miles. Annoying because I took very good care of the vehicle, but not a deal breaker.
I'd buy an AFM equipped truck way, way before I'd buy one with those abrupt automatic start/stop features. In a few years that crap is going to infect every new vehicle on the market.

burning oil is not the issue with the 5.3l AFM equipped .
Having the lifters collapse and stay collapsed to where a cylinder head removal and lifter replace is the issue. Also rounding off camshaft lobes is another big issue with the AFM lifters.
