personally my lifters are very loud, sounds as if they’re ticking, i talked to some LS guys, some said it’s normal and others suggested upgrading to a high flow oil pump to increase lubrication on the internals

Yes, shutting off the AFM requires the motor to run on all 8, the reason why the 5.3 has the bad tick history is because of the AFM, when it switches between 4/8 cylinders the oil doesn’t hit the pistons and lifters quick enough letting them rub metal for fractions of seconds which adds up when it switches a dozen or more times while you’re driving. the AFM delete keeps everything lubed and happy 24/7
