Topic: Lemons staff member having car trouble. Advice

Hey, for anyone coming to NHMS we could use a bit of help.  A staff member is having a problem with his LS equipped truck.  If you're an LS expert, could you perhaps give him some advice?  His name is Brad and he is working the gate.  No, we can't get the truck and fix it trackside, LOL.  He's just looking for input on what to do with it.  It's at a shop now.  Here's the info he gave.  Thanks!!!

2008
Chevy Siverado Crewcab
5.3 Vortex
232,000 miles

Cylinder one misfiring
Spark is good
Coil is good
Fuel injector is good
Wires are good
Only 90 lbs of compression
Ran Seafoam (FI Service) no improvement
It's just the one cylinder
