    05 Chevy K1500 5.3 77k miles.

    He just bought it from a guy who we both believe was not trying to screw anyone over, but two weeks in, it has 2 seemingly major issues.

    1) Loud ticking from top of motor. I have not heard it, but he says it sounds like a lifter is loose. Does it especially when its is cold, but now is doing it enough to where he doesnt want to drive it. Is there a common issue on these motors that might relate?

    2)Coolant loss. He put over a gallon in the overflow, drove from SA to BCS and back, and overflow is dry. Hasnt overheated. He let it sit in the driveway for an hour and sees no leaks. Changed the oil, and it looks fresh and new.

    Any ideas with the vague descriptions I gave?
