Chevrolet Silverado 5.3L lifter tick — what the factory manual says

Silverado AFM lifter tick. If you’ve got a 5.3L V8 between 2014 and 2021, you probably know what I’m talking about. Dealers want $3,000+ to fix it.

The factory manual has the full Active Fuel Management disable procedure, lifter replacement torque sequence, and valley cover gasket specs. Guys are doing this job themselves for under $800 in parts.

• 5.3L and 6.2L engine teardown and assembly specs
• AFM/DFM system diagnostics
• Transfer case fluid specs by year
• Electrical diagrams for every trim (WT to High Country)
