Glad to hear it was something minor. I hear you on the constant problems, literally for the last couple of weeks, I fix an issue and another pops up immediately. Last night it was a high load misfire, I took a guess and swapped all my driver's side coils and it fixed it. So one of the 4 I removed is bad, I'll have to swap them back on one by one to figure it out. Always good to keep tons of spares of parts like that around. I myself went with the V2 BTR trunnion kit, haven't heard anything bad about those either. Hope your next track outing is more successful!

It'll get there, patience is key, I didn't really start leaning on my car until the last couple years and I still haven't been to the track, plenty of street hits but no track.
You built yours, tuned it and went racing pretty quickly, much more harsh way of finding out what doesn't work versus street driving and ironing it out.
Consider your combo though too, 5.3 on 20lbs. on E85 with the 7875 has gotta be knocking on 700whp and those 7875's make good torque too in a heavy truck so everything is working hard, way harder than on nitrous for sure.

And now my 2019 daily silverado has dropped a lifter. I cant win for nothing. I've always been a chevy guy but here lately I find myself depending on my company truck a bit more often. 2022 f150 5.0.

You guys can see my truck on YouTube on fire on the bayou no problem raceway at 11:15 minute mark. Keep in mind this was the first test pass with the new motor and I didnt want to max it out and i should have gotten on the transbrake a little better but I was a little rusty, been a while.

I didnt attach the video but someone else did after I commented, its on YouTube. If you type in fire on the bayou no problem raceway it will pop up and im at the 11:15 mark and i was a bit rusty and didnt stay on the the brake long enough for it to build enough boost so I could have done better and no new noise so far and I ordered all the parts from Texas speed for the daily truck so im just waiting on everything to come in. Im going to do it at my buddy's house since he has an enclosed shop with ac, lift, and just about any tool you can imagine. Were going to yank the motor and trans out and put a dod delete kit on the motor and then while im at it im going to do the thermal by pass on the transmission, a new converter, trans filter, and new fluid. Trans hasn't given me any problems but while im in there im going to go ahead and do those few things as well. On a side night theres a silver caprice in the video as well, that's my buddy's car, my tuner tunes and works on that car as well.

Yeah, I had several lifters fail on mine too around 80K miles which were covered.
I bought one of those Ranger AFM delete modules that plugs into the OBDII port, been good ever since.
If the other lifters fail, I'll just toss a Stage 1 DOD Delete Truck cam in it.

I ordered the kit from Texas speed, its just a stock spec cam but I liked it there kit because you dont have to pin the cam phaser. It retains the vvt and just deletes the dod so its relatively easy and my buddy will tune it for me so I didnt have to get the hand held. With his discount I got the kit for $693. I still have to buy the converter and the thermal bypass though. I thought about putting a different cam in it but I already know the rabbit hole that we lead me down. My wife drives my daily more then me as I always drive my company truck so I just need it to be reliable for her. The last thing I need is her calling me telling me her and my 5 year old are broke down some where so stock it stays.

What converter are you buying?

Those transmission have a thermostat, you can do a thermal bypass on them and it drops the temperatures from 200-210 to around 150-160 and I havent decided on a converter yet. Ive been searching around trying to decide. I have a buddy that has a similar truck and he bought one of the billet ones from oreillys and his truck does surprisingly well so I was considering getting that one but still kinda undecided.

These LT trucks are definitely not an ls, started on my 2019 or should I say 2018 because it's 2018 body style search for the number 7 misfire and I definitely found it. Sure enough spring stuck on lifter.

My lt truck finally apart, decided to pull the motor. Notice timing tensioner was cracked and oil pan was leaking it was easier to pull the motor then pull the pan since I already had the heads off. Im gonna go ahead and change rear main seal and put a gel pro gasket on the oil pan instead of silicone.
