[QUOTE="stutaeng, post: 26887, member: 6175"] Is the engine otherwise healthy? If so, I probably wouldn't open it up TBH. I put a mild Summit Racing (8718R1) towing cam on my 06 Suburban 2500 6.0. I had an intermittent lifter tick, so I initially was thinking only lifters and cam. I wound up pulling the engine block after removing the head, and did new cam/rod/main bearings, piston rings, got the 317 heads remachined and gaskets. I had 265k miles though. I think i spent like $1200 IIRC. That Texas Speed Stage 2 cam always has good reviews. Cam Motion has a similar version as do others. Just stay away from the larger cams because they generally shift the torque to a higher rpm range. [/QUOTE]
