They are the ones on my stock 02 Z71 pick up truck. My truck has 186k miles, they lasted this long but ive read some where that my truck or trucks around my year have head problems. Something to do with them cracking an leaking antifreeze/water into the pistons. Just tryn to figure out if my truck falls into this category is all
You should be fine as long as it is well maintained. Wouldn't hurt to pull them off and double check sometime if you don't mind the down time.
I'd prefer to save myself from the frustration of reading responses

Hey i forgot to add LS7 lifters to my mod list sorry but i honestly dont think that would change anything. I made a thread on it as well it was late 2012 when i made my mod thread. What do you have done to your car? I know your lighter than me and i don't care. Your shooting for 12.8 and im just hoping to get out of the 13s range. Ill be happy with low 12s honestly but **** happens

Durring the summer i would like to go to Atlanta and run the 1/4 mile. If anyone else wants to join that would be cool. Talk some smack, race, then beers? Idk about anyone else but with my job i usually have to ask well in advance.

MAC, i've never heard of our trucks having head issues. The biggest thing i've read were the intake manifold gaskets causing lean issues in both banks (its the battle i'm fighting now) although i just cleared my codes and just got my truck inspected this morning. The head should be fine IMO. I have 150k on my 4.8 5spd. I wanna put headers on the damn thing to make it sound cool lol

Mac, you should be pushing for more than getting out of the 13s with a 400rwhp car
Figured with LT's, ls6 cam you should pick up more than that
How many excuses did I count in that?
Contrary to popular belief, it does take a few runs to get a car dialed in. That is why I LOL when some local guys have talked smack about my old bolt-on LT1 running a 13 flat the first pass and first trip to a 1/4 strip.
You guys and your 4 wheelers...
I honestly hope every single one of them doing wheelies eats ****. Natural selection is a beautiful thing.
Just in case any of you miss the State of the Union tonight - here is a brief summary for you.
1. It's everyone else's fault, especially Tea Party Terrorists.
2. We are going to have so many programs that'll do nothing but be paid with the tears of the next generation's lost opportunities.
3. Obamacare is the greatest thing since the birth of the nation and has insured 3x the entire population of the U.S.
4. We need to reject every compelling theory of economics and start talking about minimum wage laws again
There you go, for the guys who are bored
12.8 was sort of a facetious statement, bickering with HiO. I told Lawhead if I run 12.8s as my best then I'm ghost riding it into an oncoming train. I'm sure I'll run a 12.8 and a 13.5 when I blow the tires off twice in a row, but I've never driven the car with this cam, or this setup period, that coupled with the fact that it will be lighter than any car I've had, it's gonna take some "feeling out" to find out the sweet spot for the launch. With it dialed in, I'm aiming for 11.something.
