will need to replace cam and lifters chain and pump (1 reports)
Bad experience. I take my wife out for our 35th anniversary and got stranded where there is no signal on the phone for miles and to do some walking. I checked the afm system when I took the valve covers off found the #1 lifter was dead, no action. There was code P0300. I took lifters and cam out - the cam lobe was worn and the lifter was also bad. It was my dream - 40,000 dollars is not easy for a family to pay but I did it and now nothing but problems. These pickup have a problem with oil consumption lifter problems and who know what else there is.
