Both of my neighbors had start lifter noise. Replaced lifters and fixed per dealership recommendation.

Also check for coolant getting into the oil, from what I have seen not enough to show on the dipstick will show in top of the valve covers creates a sludge in the engine. GM had some porosity issues with some of there heads. Google for more info and how to identify head castings with issues. Something to look for.

There are different orings for use with GM or Melling pumps. When I installed a Melling 10295 on my 5.3 I learned you use a different colored oring for the two different pumps plus it depends on whether the pickup has a tapered end or straight. Red, green, blue and black. Good instructions came in the Melling box.

Bill that is excellent information and sometimes overlooked. If you Change the pump get it first then get the right o-ring. Have seen a repair that fixed the problem initially but it returned. Melling pump with o-ring that was ordered for the year of truck and engine application.
