2008 Avalanche afm system. When replacing lifters, is there a less expensive lifter that will work in place of the program lifters? I am thinking of saving around $300 by reprogramming & not purchasing the new pump & programable lifters.

You should repost under the maintenance &repair category.  
You will get better answers there.
