SOLVED Please help, engine runs very poorly!
Yes, improper engine timing, especially if affecting only one side of the engine, can lead to spark plug fouling on that side, but other factors like fuel mixture, ignition system issues, or even coolant leaks can also contribute.- DodDel5-3-6L80e

Timing? I started thinking timing half way through your story. I had plugs like that, bank 1 plugs just getting wrecked, the whole side.

Horn is not working
Boarder patrol truck here. I was told they activated sirens with the steering wheel horn switch. I direct tested my speakers and got nothing. I added a new horn, fuse, relay, and put a horn swich on the ledge directly below the ignition. Looks good, sounds good. My horn problem solved.- DodDel5-3-6L80e

Exhaust system replacement
I believe you weld at the joint and there is no clamp. I could be wrong, but personally I would weld it. The tiniest hole makes a big difference.- DodDel5-3-6L80e

Lifter tick when cold? Berryman B12?
Your lifter is ticking until oil gets to it. This has to be fixed quickly to prevent damage to your enginee. Your valley plate has cylinoids that inject oil to govern your lifters. You might have a partially clogged or non functioning cylinoid. If you dont want to rebuild the engine to DOD/AFM...- DodDel5-3-6L80e

Need support. Just found out my radiator is leaking
Good idea on the water pump. Now would be the perfect opportunity. I was surprised how easy this water pump is to install vs other makes. The 5.3l is super mechanic friendly- thank you Chevrolet.- DodDel5-3-6L80e
