Question
07.5_Z71
09' 5.3 silverado Z71 with 40,000 miles, had ticking noise only at start until recent. Noticed two days ago the tick noise at start progressed to more of a clatter at start but went away within a few seconds. Today after driving for approximately 15 to 20 miles, heard what I first thought was an exhuast leak from under hood, near driver side. Pulled over and from idle reved engine to pinpoint the problem area. Unsuccesful in doing so, drove away and noticed the noise went away then came back after traveling another 10 or so miles at interstate speeds. Long story short, on my way home, hours later, noise returned followed by check engine light. Prior to arriving home, noise went away again but check engine light remains. Never had single issue with truck and a pavement queen. Did some research finding similar problems diagnosed to be faulty lifters and others including cam issues. Purchased extended warranty through dealership so will be bringing to dealership Tuesday. Im thinking truck should stay parked until that time but this vehicle is my wifes main source of travel.??? Any opinions or advice welcome. Thanks.
