Kojimep did you ever figure out what the issue was?? I am currently having the same issue. I have a 2017 Silverado 4x4 4.3. I took it to a dealer and they said it was normal. However, the ticking is only after warm up. I didnt realize that before taking it in. I have been in contact with Chevy Trucks via messenger and they actually helped me with some other issues that were corrected. I had read somewhere that it could be a purge valve but nothing definitive. Thanks in advance.
