99 Z71 pickup with a 350 engine you have a lifter that is sticking how do you change them yourself?
take off the valve cover,remove the rockers,take off the intake manifold take out the push rods,then pull out the lifter,if the lifter is mushroomed you may need to get a lifter puller
87 Chevy S10 28l V6 and one lifter collapsed and warped the pushrod Can you just change that one bad lifter and do you have to take off the intake manifold to get the lifter out please help?
You can change just the one lifter, however you should determine why it went bad. The intake manifold must come off to get to the lifter. Is there advanced mileage? do you change the oil regularly? Seeing how it is an 87 vehicle, with 19 years of use on the engine, I would strongly suggest changing the full set. Be carefull though as there is the possibility on that engine of 2 different size lifter bores. If yours are oversized it will be stamped on the lifter bore (not on the lifter) 0.25mm 0.5 There should also be a white paint mark at the bore.

How do you change a valve lifter?
There's a ticking noise under my 2002 tahoe. If it is a lifter. Can you tell me what a lifter is? And is that the reason why my service engine light won't go off. Someone told me that it had to do with some box that holds wires under the truck. Is that true?

How do you fix a stuck lifter on a 1977 Chevy C10 pickup 350 engine?
Change engine oil and substitute one of the quarts of oil with one quart of automatic transmission fluid. Run engine for 1000 miles. Change engine oil again with all oil.
How do you fix a sticking lifter on a Chevy 350 engine?
Often a sticking lifter is cause by sludge that has built up inside the lifter. If that's the case a good engine cleaner can often help, or even just add a quart of diesel fuel or kerosene to the crankcase and let it idle for a while, but if you do that, don't put any stress on the engine. Then change the oil and run it for about 300 miles and change the oil again. That CAN help some sticking lifters... but don't count on it. Often the only option is to change the lifters and if the camshaft is pitted, you may need to change that too. If you're going that far, check everything and do a complete rebuild.
Would a worn out lifter cause a taping in the engine or do you need to shim a valve spring?
It is cheaper than replacing the lifter

the cheapest quick fix that works often is a can of engine flush before changing your oil and filter,pour in engine flush let car run 5 to 10 minutes with engine at idle then shut off engine and change oil you should hear lifter getting better during this process.

Could cold start lifter noise in a 5.3 Vortex cause knock sensor check engine code?
NO. The engine computer is in open loop until the engine heats up to operating temperature 195 degrees are more. that means it don't hear the lifter noise and by the time the computer can, the lifter quites making noise.
