I only have 7K miles on my truck and I have a ticking noise coming from under the hood.  Sounds like a loose rocker to me.  One guy said  that the injectors on the new GM trucks make this noise?  ???

hi Corey  68,

 

My truck has almost 4000 miles on it now and I haven't heard any noise under the hood. There is an anoying rattle under the dash which I'm gonna have to find. I hate rattles.

My 6.0L has a constant tick from the rear of the motor.  I know it's not the rocker arm/needle bearing thing that everyone is talking about....

 

Mine is deeper in the block, and I've mentioned it to the dealer once before...  I'll mention it to him again when I take it in for my State Inspection...

 

BTW, My motor sounds better after I've run it hard...  So I'm baffled about this one...  If it was carbon buildup, then the noise would be on the top of the motor most likely, and would burn off with some abuse...  but my noise is definatly deep in the block, most likely around cyl. # 7 and #8.

Doesn't that sound like the infamous piston slap that others have near #8?  A guy named Gixxer over on pickuptruck.com had his 6.0 replaced under warranty with a new 03 engine for that or something similar.

My 6.0 liter makes a ticking sound when it is cold and lasts about 30 sec to 1 minute. It has done this since new and has 13,800 miles. Since reading the posts on this board, I have decided not to take it to the dealer and chance having something else go wrong. This truck totally kicks a$$ and I'm not going to worry about some ticking when it is cold!

I agree with you in your case, but some of our GENIII's tick all the time, hot or cold, sounding like it's in the bottom end and not carbon buildup nor the lifters, injectors, nor any other top end component  :(

Markeaux,

 

Sorry, I thought you guys were talking about when the engine was cold. I would take mine to the dealer if it ticked all the time.

I know there use to be an additive GM dealers sold called EOS and if I remember there is a newer version additive that would probably fix this clicking....worth a try. :(

Yeah , mine is the same as Bob G. only when it is cold, and for about 30 secs or so, I am running 10w30. Do you think this could be a cause? I doubt it, My buddys 5.3 ticked really nasty and he put some good fuel injector cleaner in it before a hard tow and it really did quiet it alot, I think I'll try some good brand of the cleaner next tank, I have heard of some chevron brand, wal mart has some for like 6 bucks, says it is good for like 12 gallons of fuel?? It did wonders for his truck, funny , last winter, not start up tick, this year, have the tick, also alot colder this winter, any comments? the 6.0 does run well for me.

My 5.3 in the the PU and the 6.0 in teh Escalade both ahve a slight tick.  The 5.3 is alot worse.  The dealer said it was the valvetrain.  Its leased so I 'm not concerned.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.

      Correct.  2019-2021 model years are serviced by a different p/n.  19420611.  Recall 2021s use 19420611.   The recall engines 2022-2024 model years are serviced with 12740076.     The difference between 19420611 and 12740076 is GM changed injector size for 2022.  The injectors are smaller on 12740076 with smaller injector bores in the cylinder heads to match the smaller injectors.  So you can't install a 19420611 in a 2022-2024, and you can't install a 12740076 in a 2019-2021.     Both engines are the replacement engine p/ns that are in the L87 recall.  So both of these are the updated engines.     Here's a version of the L87 recall with the p/ns for all the parts needed.    RCRIT-25V274-7075.pdf   Note it shows 19420611 and 12740076 with an asterisk to a footnote "Use the VIN and the GM Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC) to determine which part to order if two or more part numbers are listed for the same part, as it may vary by vehicle options."

      Looking for advice from this group. Took my flawless 2020 6.2 TB to an unnamed shop for routine rear brakes and oil change. Tech forgot to put oil back in after the full service and needles to say, destroyed my engine.  It’s all on their shop video so they are responsible.   I had my Chevy dealer do the analysis and they confirmed its compromised and said engine replacement. The manager said they only get GM reman engines from GM with full 3 yr warranty and the one they would put in is not same as what’s they are swapping out on 21-25 for recall.    I am looking for advice why that would be a different engine because obviously I had the good 6.2 year and replacing it has my concerns with that recall for 21-15   Also what’s the pros and cons of accepting the engine swap vs telling the shop that bricked the truck to pay up so I buy a new truck. I’m concerned about stigma resale eventually if I just decide to get rid of it after the swap or other issues showing up after the swap out.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By GN2018 · Posted

      Just looked up my records.  I've never gone over 5000 miles between oil changes.  At 46K miles, I have 10 oil changes.  I hope that will help.  I also installed the disabler last year.  I've still had a few times when it didn't seem to engage (which I can tell because the start stop feature kicks in), but for the most part, I think it's working.  For some reason, GM did not include the number of cylinders running in the information screen like I had on other models.  In my Cadillac, it shows me when it's running on 4 cylinders on the fuel milage screen.  I can't find that on my '21 Denali.
