Welcome to the forum! What kind of lifter issues were you having with the GMC? How many miles were on it? 5.3 or 6.2? Thanks
Frist lifer issue was a year ago on pass. Side, at tune of 1500 bucks to get it fit, and was at 68k miles.
Then last week, at 78k miles, two lifters on driver side crapped. At tune of 2 grand or better to fix that. Its a 5.3 engine. The infamous afm issue that pladge the gmc for 8 yrs.

Welcome Aboard from Denison Texas

Damn $41K on a tradesman 1500.
WOW hope it’s a loaded out tradesman.
I bought my tradesman Power Wagon out the door for $39K with $1800 down and 8% interest.
And it’s a very nicely equipped 2500 6.4 Hemi 4x4e7ac8c5b6f5191e4921a74ae095695df.jpg

Ny is ny, the tradesman is above the basic one,plus they added chrome package and running boards, spray on bedliner. Pretty much thats it. They gave me a good discount from sticker price plus trade, which is a partly broken gmc. I got 5% int rate loan on it
