Mine is the 5.3 too. Started around 200k miles and got progressively worse. Never affected engine performance, but will probabaly ruin the convertors if left unrepaired, probably has to wear the rings after a while too I would think. Never had any coolant in oil either, all goes out the exhaust. I did notice I always had the biggest steam cloud around my car at stops.
Buy a Chilton's or a Hain's Manual, it doesn't look to be a difficult fix, just moving a lot of stuff out of the way. The newer gaskets have fixed the problem, but many advise changing coolants away from Dex. I have.
