Well I got it done! I replaced the oil pick up tube O ring, the pick up tube proper, the timing chain and gear, water pump, and installed a high volume oil pump from Melling, and I cleaned everything up and replaced the T chain cover as recommended. The lifter noise is gone and the truck has had a huge wake-up call! It get's and poops really nice now! I live in the South of Puget Sound just south of Seattle, I drove clear up to Bellingham 2 hours North and got an average 20.1 miles per gl.! That's the best I have ever obtained! Not bad for a 6,000lbs. truck. My Avi is an '06 Z71 half ton with an automatic (upgraged to 70 or 75. Stock tire size, I rebuilt the front end (new hubs too) when I got her along with new shocks and an alignment. I also replaced all the rockers with Melling rockers. Wifie sprung for the trans rebuild and upgrade. I installed the the drilled and slotted brake rotors while I was into the O ring job..
