Scruggs Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Surprise, surprise. The dealer is claiming that the noise is "normal" and will not be making any repairs, even after the tech rode with me and stated that it was indeed NOT normal. Needless to say I'll be complaining lol... and it looks like I'll be strapping that valve down in the meantime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will McCahill Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 The ticking in V4 mode is finally gone! The tech determined it was caused by either a deffective or inproperly installed steering column seal. (Also called the stearing shaft boot) Send me a message if you have any questions or if you want me to recomend a dealer in the Richmond area.

So in other words when they fixed the seal the ticking noise is not getting into the Cab anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will McCahill Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 That is correct. Apparently the noise is normal....its just not normal to hear it in the cab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scruggs Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Well, id like to fix it, but i had a nightmare experience the lasr time i took it in... They dented the hell out of my truck both inside and out, and were completely slack on many other things. As a result they had my truck 50+ days. I love my truck otherwise but i doubt i will ever purchase a chevy again after having these experiences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tobinstetson Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 That is correct. Apparently the noise is normal....its just not normal to hear it in the cab. Are you still satisfied with the steering shaft seal repair to solve the ticking V4 noise? I've had mine in multiple times and it's getting very frustrating! New fuel pump, new AFM lifters, and nothing fixes it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had mine in multiple times and it's getting very frustrating! New fuel pump, new AFM lifters, and nothing fixes it. I'm afraid not. They are very friendly and have replaced the steering shaft boot twice and it fixes the problem for a few months then comes back. I have to take it in for recall stuff so I will ask them to take another look at it. I am getting very frustrated.....I also can't stand the clunking spastic transmission, whistling driviers side window, and now the peeling undercoating with rust. This will be my last new GM. The older ones seemed like they were higher quality. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmendoza Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Did anyone try putting a Range or tuner to turn off AFM? Did that solve anything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Dewar Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Any fix? Mines a 2018 5.3 and when in v4 mode with slight acceleration sounds like a card in a bikes spokes as we did as kids sort of flapping...also does it when it kicks into v8 but not as loud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
