Dealer replaced the fuel feed tube and........no difference whatsoever.  Guess I will go test drive some Fords or Rams.  Can't deal with that sounds for the next 4-5 years I planned to own this truck.

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

this sucks. I don't want to get rid of the truck but I will lose my sanity listening to this for the next 5+ years

Same here.  My wife thinks I'm crazy, but she doesn't drive it.  I feel like I need to trade it in/sell it while it's still high value.  Dealer trade KBB is only $4k less than I paid.  Seems worth it for a year old truck.

My father has a new 5.7 ram and i like it but not more than my truck.. and I don't like the new fords at all. I can't imagine being happy with those because I like this truck a lot other than the sound. I want to somehow make a big enough stink that GM gets involved and figures it out

While I understand and agree that it’s annoying, we all can agree it’s most likely harmless. I think it’s a little excessive to trade it in over the noise, but it’s your truck and money. I’m gonna drive it till something expensive breaks after warranty and trade it in. Mine is paid off in a couple years so seems more worth to wait till I own it and don’t have to pay back the loan when I go for the next truck.

I like the Rams a lot.  Ford's for some reason is way expensive with a lot less features.  Quality is no better.  I don't think GM cares or knows how to fix it.  I've seen on Camaro and Corvette forums of people complaining of similar issues.  I suspect it's some by-product of the direct injection, variable displacement engines.  95% of people don't notice stuff like this, so they won't fix it as long as the trucks keep selling.

I just went and test drove a 2018 Ram 1500 Midnight Edition, and was not impressed at all.  The interior fit and finish was terrible.  Lacked a couple of features that I enjoy about my GMC.  That truck had a sticker of $55k, with $11k in rebates.  About the same as what my GMC was last year.  They didn't low ball me on the trade offer, but I don't think it's worth taking a $7k hit to buy a newer truck that isn't nicer (but will at least not make that noise).  Might be time to bolt on a cat back exhaust and mask some of the ticking, and have my wife buy something bigger than an IS250 to take the family on road trips (cant crank up the stereo when the kids are asleep in the back).

yep been thinking about cat backs recently to help cover up some of it hopefully. i drove my fathers ram about 1000 miles towing this winter when we didn’t take my truck snowmobiling and like i said i like it but i couldn’t imagine having that every day instead of the gm.

They won't.  You are nothing to them.  They don't care if you go to another brand.

Went to the dealership, they told me the "Tech confirmed this characteristic is normal" when I spoke to the adviser on the phone. I gave him the TSB # again and said it's not acceptable and it is clearly not normal if there is a TSB to address the issue. I insisted it be driven a little more, and a little harder, with the foreman. Adviser called me back and said "We cant duplicate it but we will perform the TSB anyways". 

 

When I get to the dealer the paperwork doesn't mention anything about parts being replaced or anything about the TSB. All it says is "Tech confirmed the noise is normal characteristic". I asked the service advisor that if they performed the TSB then why is it not documented? He said "If we documented it then GM would have to pay us on the service and this is not something we are allowed to get paid on". 

 

I feel like they didn't do anything to the truck.

Dropped it off 8am this morning at another dealer. 4:30pm and they said they don't know what it is and haven't tried replacing anything. No matter how many times I tried to give them the TSB# they refused to take it down.

 

Picked up loander at 6pm. Adviser said they will call GM in the morning.

5pm Friday update. All techs left, didn't try changing any parts, they "have no clue" according to the advisor. I asked if they called GM and the adviser couldn't give me an answer. He said they saw the TSB I kept talking about but said it's not related. I beg to differ, it sounds exactly the same. They said keep the loaner through the weekend and they'll have an update on Tuesday. That means by EOD Tuesday it'll be in the shop for 6 full days.

Dealer called me today, said to come pick up my truck. After 6 full days, they have no answer and say nothing is wrong. They only started it 3 times in the 6 days for under 1 minute (probably just moving it around on their lot) and didn't even put 1 mile on the odometer.

Wow, same issues with 2017 suburban. Two of my neighbors bought the same truck and no tick. Mine has it. Random, hear it on drivers side, heard in drive throughs at times, cruising on highway or driving slow around 1500 to 2k rpms. Brought it in 3 separate times. They finally said they're performing the below. We'll see how it goes, but I'm not optismistic.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death.

      In the 80's 90's I'd run Honda's 7,500 miles between changes using Red Line HP 5W20 and do it for hundreds of thousands of miles with issues. Back in the day it was an SAE 20 with the HTHS of a SAE 30 and SN add load. It was also very polar. Oxidation VOA was over 120. Besides those motors were SPFI and lean burn tech. I could have likely run it longer but never did.    We had a Toyota bought new I ran on Pennzoil's latest and greatest synthetic of the day with "Penthane". A made up word for a very low dose of PAO. Tried 7,500 mile OCI's in that Group III/VI chemistry and the rings tapped out at 90K. Rocker box wasn't as bad as the one Punch put up but it wasn't good either. Also a SPFI motor.    I'm around 3,750 across the board on these GDI monsters and the oil it tapped out by then usually on TBN/TAN crossover and color. Red Line HP Euro.    The AMSOIL SS brochures tell you to follow the OEM values for the service class but that it can be run up to 25K if monitored. I can't imagine what motor could go that distance and not tap out. I've never owned one.    Yes, I know. Lot's of people do. I'm just not going to be one of them.

      I knew a guy in the early 80's that bought a new Monte Carlo and ran it a 100,000 miles without ever changing the filter or the oil. Just kept adding. It looked like that inside.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By whenindoubtuseahammer · Posted

      Good evening. I was lucky enough to get passed down to me a 2007 GMC LBZ that was my great uncle's. While the underside and rockers are more or less gone I feel like with time I can restore it to working order since it only has 110,000 miles and he put nearly every option he could get without getting the new body style since he did not trust DEF. So far I have done everything I can think of but when I put the key into the ignition nothing happens. I put 2 brand new batteries in it. Cleaned the terminals. Check all the fuses and relays and they all pass with my multimeter. I know I'm missing something that I just cant think of. The only odd thing is the OBD2 port works which makes me think its not the mega fuse. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

      Looks nice. I still have my 2000, 1500. Bought a 2025, 1500 for retirement. Feels solid. These trucks have a bad rap on the internet. My brother has a `24 1500, 5.3 with 52,000 miles. No problems at all. Mine hasn`t either but mine`s only at 12,700 miles. Have seen some of these things with 100,000 miles with no problems.
