Last week I took my truck, 09 sierra 1500 5.3, to the dealership for a loud ticking/rattling noise inside the motor. They replaced a pitted cam and sticking lifter. NOW... when I start the truck, it takes a couple of extra rotations to fire and sometimes I get one knock right at ignition. Ideas?

  Hasn't come up in the 3 gm forums I follow. And only gm knows the frequency of failure of that part. LMG, you want a recall so it's replaced for free...

  You need a better code reader/scanner. You are missing codes. Did the dealer give you a copy of the SAVI scan from that visit? If the fluid hasn't been changed, change it. Shudder will likely go away.
- Can anyone decode a VIN to determine if this truck has had emissions issues or a recall?

  TLDR to my other post... Hard. Pass. Too many what ifs. Are you set on a 3.0 Duramax? Have you considered anything not GM just in case? If you don't have to have a pickup, lots of other options for $27,000 out there.
