2015 Sierra 5.3, 200,000+ miles
It’s had this tick, off and on for a while. Now with headers and a tune, it’s a little more common. At at idle, it’s almost constant but rev it a few hundred rpm, it stops.
Listen here
It’s done this just about since I got the truck with 36,000 miles. I really notice it in drive thru’s but it does seem to be more noticeable with the headers.
Any ideas on what it is? Assuming it’s a lifter but it’s been doing for ever so I’m not really sure as I’d assume a lifter ticking like that would fail by now.
