It’s located between the chassis fuel line and the high pressure fuel pump.

 

It seems to have done the trick on mine. I’ll keep you posted as I drive it throughout the next week. The TSB was PIP5395D.

My 2014 Silverado is at 120,000 and running just as good as day one, not one issue with it. I know there’s problems out there, but complaining to others saying “should of bought a ford” doesn’t help

Just got this from a buddy at my local dealer. Looks like Chevy is aware and they are working on a fix. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Is this the same tick that everybody else is experiencing? I have a 6.2L 

 

 Dealer said is it fuel injectors but the tick gets faster at higher RPMs and when I let off the gas at a high RPM the tick remains fast and doesn't slow down so I don't think it is noisy injectors because the tick would have slowed when I let off the throttle.

Hey Parker, any updates on if the tick is gone?

The tick is mostly gone. And by that I mean that I can hear it very faintly once in a while but it seems that it goes to V8 mode or upshifts right away. If I didn’t know about the tick I wouldn’t know it was there. Much improved!

thanks for the info, I think I'm going to head to the dealership soon. I've been convincing myself some days that its fine and other days it bugs the hell out of me

I'm the same way.....I'm sure it's just as noticeable every day, but there are days I really notice it and days it just must blend into all the other background noise

Yeah and also partially because I'm a little reluctant to get into it with the dealership. first try to explain it and hopefully replicate it for them during a drive, then also going through the procedures of them wanting to replace/check other things like the valvetrain or exhaust even though people have confirmed that it wasn't the issue. I was going to wait until there was a clear cut "fix it" answer that I could bring up with them, so maybe this TSB is it

I have noticed that when I hear the tick if I pull a hard left or hard right (I mean really hard) the ticking stops while I'm turning. I tested this going 40 MPH in manual gear at 4k RPM on a two lane road. I was in the right lane and then pulled hard left all the way to the left lane. The ticking was silent until I straightened out.

It’s jostling that causes it to come and go. I’ve had to slam on brakes before and that caused it to start then I hit a bump later and it goes away. I’ve heard it ticking and then just completely stop out of nowhere

So there's 18 pages of this but it seems like there's many different parts that were replaced. We still don't know exactly what it is? 

 

Just like the other two posters earlier today, I'm reluctant to go to the dealer because it's an entire day of my time and they'll either say it's normal, can't reproduce, within specs,  etc.

I decided to finally call a dealership yesterday to make an appointment, one that I've had good luck with service before even though its a different one than where I bought the truck. I'm just hoping that the tick will be audible that day, and I'm still debating on whether I want to mention the TSB or just let them go through their own process without my input

      Manufactuer's Defect - Paint Failure - Cherry Red High Country 2021 Suburban

      By AlVeron · Posted

      This is NOT impact damage nor neglect. There were previous class action lawsuits because of such paint preparation st GM manufacturing plant. Not just the Cherry Red Color. This paint is applied in three processes to obtain the desired color.  The manufacturer will cover for 36 months or 36k miles only. That rust is actually corrosion because of the paint process failure. Corrosion is covered for 100,100 miles or a certain months. However their corrosion doesn't include this type. Go figure. Clearly manufacturer knew from previous paint issues. This started 3 weeks ago out of the blue.

      Is it time to put a piece of tape over the CEL?

      consider doing electrical testing?  I would guess some power or ground wire/connection has a problem.   alldata.com has wiring diagrams, connector pinouts and diagnostic procedures you can use to find where the problem is.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By davester · Posted

      can you tell if the reader is actually trying to get codes, and the pcm is reporting none, or is your reader just silently failing because it's not communicating with the pcm?

      Any joy with this truck seems to be short-lived.   The CEL for P0172 ("bank 1" too rich) is now "intermittent".   I'm not sure where to check, or re-check, and my energy to keep chasing problems with junk is wearing thin. The P0172 seems to set as I'm coming to a stop, completely off the throttle, when fully warm. At least, that's what it's done the 3? times it's set.   Everything appears normal on the scanner EXCEPT long term fuel trim. There's only one bank on this vehicle because it's an OBD 1.5 with only one upstream O2 sensor. At idle, it's around -16.4% and will dip to -18% occasionally at idle or off-throttle. LTFT approaches 0 when throttle is held at 2500rpm. Short term appears normal, much closer to zero all the time. The LTFT tells me the engine is running rich at idle but compensating at higher load. But, why?   The EVAP purge valve doesn't appear to be leaking/sucking fuel vapor continuously. Is it sticking just as I come to a stop and the engine is choking on fuel vapor and sets the P0172? But that doesn't explain the persistently negative LTFT. Disconnecting the purge valve doesn't seem to make any difference.   I suppose that leaves another dang issue with the fuel injector. A leaking fuel pressure regulator, a new leak in the spider, or a leaking fuel injector/poppet valve I didn't see, or a small crack in one of the spider legs.   The vacuum line leading to the fuel pressure regulator doesn't have raw fuel in it. It doesn't even smell like fuel when it's pulled off, not until you suck air through it, then you can tell it leads to a fuel component. I'd consider that normal? Nothing is signaling this is a FPR issue from the outside, at least.   The oil smells like fuel but it's not building volume. I've noticed most oil in most engines smells like fuel to some degree so it's hard to say if the smell is an issue or not. Or if the engine just still smells like fuel because the crankcase was full of it a few hundred miles ago. But it's been changed twice since that original issue of the leaking fuel line dumping fuel into the intake.   Patience is running very thin. Every win seems to be accompanied by two steps backwards, or another issue that leads to removing at least the top half of the intake manifold. Enough! LOL
