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

I’m so relieved to read that this ticking is normal!I never even noticed it on my 2014 GMC Sierra really until some of the men I work with pointed it out. I told them it had always sounded like that a

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

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.

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.

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.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I see where you’re going and I can appreciate that. Statistics can be misleading because of the word average. They say statistics show the average cost of a new vehicle is about 50k. The average monthly payment is close to 1000 dollars a month. That’s statistics for you. I know very few people who pay that.

      But Grumpy I did show several subdivisions that had homes starting in the 170K range. If you bought a Townhouse or Condo you could go cheaper. Same with a car 3000 dollars in the 70s translates to around 20K today. There are several models at that price. You actually get more for the money. In the 70s I drove a 3000$ car bought a 28K home and made 4.50 per hour. Thank goodness for overtime. Today I could buy a 170K house drive a 20K car and make 25 dollars an hour operating the same machine today. The difference the house, car, machine would be better and have AC. And I wouldn’t be taxed on overtime. And statistically your wife works too. Easing the burden. I thought we agreed to disagree. I brought receipts earlier, showing examples. I think you’re more stubborn than me. I was done with this debate.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.
