5.4 fords have head gasket issues sometimes. i think they are a dog pulling but so is your 5.3.
If you are not seeing any coolant leaking, they like to "crack" the heads on the top side and "wick" cooland into the oil and it burns off from there. pull both valve covers and pressurize the cooling system and watch. GM has a technical bulletin in this so i m not full if it. We see it here at the GM shop all the time.
some trucks never get fixed and stay running fine, just gotta change the oil sooner and keep topping off the coolant.
look for a 2003-2004 7.3 Ford or a 2006-2007 LBZ 6.6 duramax if you want a truck.
Dodge ok too i guess.
6.0 gas in GM is a bullet proof motor, but is lazy and drinks a lot.
