07 Silverado 2500 6.0l lifters ticking??

This truck when first started seems to run fine. After it gets warmed up. The lifters start rattling. Is it time for a cam and lifters? Oh it has 174k on the clock. When this truck gets used, which is pretty often, it has a 20ft box trailer hooked to it. Just looking for some advice on where to start looking.

On these motors, do you have to pull the heads to get the lifters out? I've put head gaskets on a 04 with the 4.8L( I don't remember how the lifters are designed)
I think I would rather pull the motor out than , pull the heads with motor in the truck. Mainly because of having to use the angle gauge to torque the head bolts.
