We have a 2015 Suburban with the 5.3, and what I thought was a lifter down was actually a main bearing or something else deep down, so I had to get a Fraser reman'd 5.3. For about $5300, I got a lifetime warranty as well as some other installation parts for a deal from the owner as I caught him one day on the phone. So far, so good, but still, at 145K I didn't think I would have to replace it. One other item of note is that I had them replace a leaking trans fluid cooling line as one of them had a pin hole in it, but the replacement line set thermostat that's built in went bad on my way from FL to KY and the trans fluid heated up into the 260 range for a bit. I went in and eliminated the thermostat and it's running great now with the trans fluid staying below 170 from PA to FL.
