## Description

2007-2014 Active Fuel management Engines Only 4.8L and 5.3LVin codes J, O, 3, 7 2007-2013 Avalanche, Silverado 1500, Sierra 1500 5.3 vin j , 0, 3, 7Includes:Full set of LiftersNew lifter guides.Valve Grind Gasket Set from Fel Pro New Head BoltsAFM lifters fail due to a faulty VLOM (valley cover) - Updated Deactivation Manifold is now available as Part 917-162. We have this priced to save you money.Call with your vin code if you have Escalade, Camaro, Corvette, 6.0, 6.2 others.... we can do it.Lifter kit also available as a seperate purchase, Part # GM5.3AFM-LK

Review: Great kit - Great kit all you need to replace your old stuck AFM lifters. If your not replacing the vlom make sure to inspect the gasket for blown out areas at the ports. Most of these gaskets are riveted on the manifold and cant be replaced by the diy. Also not in the kit. Replace the oil pressure sensor filter(also not in the kit) and check for debris blocking oil to the manifold. If your warm oil pressure is below 22 psi youll need a new pump or at least o-rings. Low oil pressure is the primary cause of AFM lifter failure, since oil pressure is what releases the inner plunger of the lifter to deactivate the valve.
Review: Just get melling lifters - I like that it was a felpro gasket set and bolts I put the truck together and ran it for 2 minutes somthing didn’t seem right like an intake and exhaust valve was opening at the same time so I took it apart bought the same parts from the parts store and had 40 bucks less in it then this kit put the motor back together the same was as before just with melling lifters and a new gasket set runs great

### ⭐ Waste of Money
*by C***G on March 12, 2023*

Bought this kit to replace a stuck lifter on 3/1/22. Lasted about a year, now having the same issue again. Money doesn't grow on trees and to spend $600 on parts and another $800 on labor to fix a problem, now to have to do it all over again is not worth it. Don't waste your money.
