Dross73 I feel the same as you. My dealer set me up with a regional.guy and all I got from him was lip service. My salesman at the dealership was reclassified and no longer ther. On two seperate occasions I couldn't see the. General manager and vice president to aide my complaints or questions to. They both seem willing to help when I had the sales manager from their dodge division was availible and set me up with a instant meeting with both. I have since gone back to purchase new accessories on two occasions and they didn't even have the parts in stock. Summit white touch up paint is what I wanted. I was so pissed I went looking for the gm and he want around. Went looking for vice president and he's not around. Went to Chevy dealer two doors down and the parts guy says " I got only have one in stock. How much I say, he says $30. I said no thanks Ill get rusto for six. So now instead of looking for a gm and go I'm looking at a ford 3/4 ton superduty. I parked side by side and compared mine with the ford. It's sad but the ford is hands down better quality then the GM product. Today I went to install rear wheel house liners that I bought back in Feb. I removed the hub cap and written on the wheel in black marker is the word "bent"! All the flaws I find on this truck is from constantly washing it by hand and trying to add OEM accessories that don't work. Is how I find them. I don't know whats bent if anything. Somebody saw something to write it on there? As far as I'm concerned, GM can get bent. Maybe next time around we let them fail its the only way they might get it right

I think dross73 & 51ashton should start a union called DROSHTON.... It will only be better for mankind if they join forces

Ah I agree its normal, my mother in law has a 14 with 5.3 and it ticks so much its crazy. I only have 1500 on mike so maybe it just hasn't started yet haha

I think you might have this one wrong. My Sierra is at the dealer right now and one of the techs told me that there is a pressure valve that somehow runs the vapors from the fuel tank and unused fule through the engine. That's why you notice the "ticking" when you start your truck and depending on things like temp, how long the truck has been sitting.....ect determines how long this runs. I notice that it disapears when I've been driving on the highway for a while. I'll let you know tomorrow because they kept the truck and they are going to check it on a cold start.

My ticks to and yep sounds like a sewing machine, from what techs tell me it's normal

I have the 6.2 love it. No ticking noise but I run premium fuel. Absolutely no complaints here. Try running a full tank of premium, I work at a gm dealership, I swear it reduces the noise to nearly gone.

Does this work with e85 as well?

I had a ticking noise coming from the engine bay on my 2015 Silverado 5.3 which was somewhat quiet after buying the truck but could be heard. Around 7,000 I took the truck because it got progressively louder. I was told there was a service bulletin on this and was normal noise to be heard from the engine(high pressure oil pump etc....). This ticking noise became louder to where it could be heard over my CAI. I took the truck in and had it diagnosed. It ended up being a failed lifter on the valve train. From there it just snow balled, effecting the camshaft causing pieces of it to break off which ended up scoring one of the piston walls. The truck needed to have a whole new engine block put in along with all new pistons, valve train and camshaft. the truck was in the dealership for almost 4 weeks. My advice is take in your vehicle if you hear any abnormalities from the engine while you have warranty, better to be safe than sorry and end up spending 8-10k in repairs. Thankfully, my warranty covered my issues....

Ok reading this still has me worried. I have a 2015 Silverado 1500 5.3L with 62,000 miles and the ticking just started up recently. It was never present before, repeat, NEVER present before. How can that be and also be normal? This honestly has me worried that I have a bad lifter and what that can cost me down the road. I purchased my truck in late 2015 and literally put highway miles on it since due to the distance of my job from home. I baby my truck honestly, never raced it. You can look at my profile and see what I've done to it. Also no tunes whatsoever.

 

I'm truly concerned

Update....

 

 

Recently spoke to a local mechanic that I've known for awhile. Described everything to him and he thinks it's a bad bearing from a pulley. When I accelerate on the highway hard I hear a whining sound, not a squealing sound like a bad belt would produce. He said it would be a good idea to check the belt anyway.

 

I'll provide more updates soon.

[2015 GMC B]

I worked at a Dodge Chrysler and Jeep dealership and people always complained about this. Now I work at a GMC and Buick dealership and people still think the ticking is bad (its Not). I traded in my Ram 5.7L for a Serria 6.2L and I had ticking and clicking in both engines. Thats because of direct fuel injection (Which has already been stated). Its completely normal to hear.  my Ram made a louder ticking noise then my Serria plus I had to change my Rams transmission 3 times before I put 170 thousand miles on it. Not trying to sound biased but I've worked for both companies and GM has an older engine design and never had a problem. It can be annoying with the ticking but it will last longer then the ram in every aspect.

They owners manual says not to run premium in 5.7 only run it in the 6.2. Will it do harm to run one tank of premium in my 5.7?

If it hasn’t been fixed yet, and others are having this issue, it’s the torque converter failing.
