Thank you guys for replying to my question. Forums like this are a great tool for people to use to help each other out. This is my first Chevrolet to own. I previously had a Nissan Titan and before that a Toyota. I took the truck in this morning and the service manager listened to it and told me it was the Direct Injectors that what was making the noise. He said he gets two to three new 2015 owners come in a week asking about the noise. He said no need to worry.

I bought a 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Z71 Crew Cab 4X4 with the 5.3 engine. I've had it a week and have noticed a ticking noise that sounds like it is coming from underneath the truck at the bottom of the engine. I noticed it two days after I bought the truck but didn't think anything about it. I thought it was normal noise from the engine until I heard another new 2015 running. I can not hear it while driving down the road and the engine runs and feels great. I can only hear it when it is sitting still idling. It doesn't matter if the engine is cold or warm, it happens either way. It doesn't sound like the lifters as I believe they would be heard more from the top of the engine. Any thoughts?
