Having same issue now on a 15 suburban. Car make that noise and shakes a little at idle. Can’t hear the noise when I’m accelerating and when I stop at a light it comes and goes every 5 seconds or so. Glad I read this. I’ll keep you guys posted.

Yes, thanks.  I just read that.  On the YouTube link, there are several guys saying they have the same sound. Either GM has some faulty fuel pumps, or some of them just sound like that. My best friend has an 18 and he says his makes the same sound like mine.  Kinda like the vibration issue.  Some have it, some don't.

OK I thought I was going crazy or just being overzealous because I had a jeep with so many issues but I have the 5.3 V8 2019 trail boss and my engine makes the exact same sound I didn’t know how to describe it to the dealer when I go back for my first oil change but it’s done it since I picked it up from the dealership same sound here at idle only has the RPM speed up it goes away sounds closest like someone here described is almost like a blinker sound . When I bring it in for its first oil change I will have master mechanic listen to it and see what they say I’m sure we could probably bring it in to different dealerships and get the different answers I see one person had some repair done but I’m wondering if that’s necessary or like you said maybe some of them just make noise as long as it  doesn’t fail I have plenty of warranty?

So is this kind of a “normal” noise then or is everyone having fuel pumps replaced?  My 2020 Sierra has the same clicking noise on a cold start after the rpm’s die down.

I have a 2018 5.3 V8 that goes to 4cyl on the highway. Mine has a slight knocking sound not as bad as this but it’s definitely not something I remember hearing when I bought it brand new. I’m going to the dealership Friday and I wonder if this is it.

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I agree with this assessment. As you know I’m testing longevity with vehicles for the first time. I have a few vehicles I passed to kids and grandkids. We’re all past 100K miles some approaching 170K. I’m the only one doing 5k oil changes. The rest whatever the minder says. I’m the only one doing frequent transmission service. My odyssey the trip vehicle at 200K will be finished as a trip vehicle. I recently changed to high mileage oil, Valvoline. I can’t get past the fact that all manufacturers want to claim long service life. I just don’t make sense that they would go with low weight oil for mileage. While sacrificing longevity.

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By Atlas · Posted

      There's absolutely a mountain of profit in catering to the "I do my own research" crowd, people who are certain they know better. And I don't mean there isn't data to support that 0w40 produces less wear product than 0w20 in an engine like the 3.0 Duramax, that only feeds them the assurance they need. Again, my whole thing with oil selection is, sure, 0w40 or 0w30 produces less wear product. Are we talking the difference between the engine lasting only 100k versus 200k? Or are we talking more like, if the engine will already go 350k on a good 0w20 regimen recommended by the OE, is using 0w40 going to get us to 355k, assuming we can even get the rest of the truck to last that long, meanwhile sacrificing the first 5y, 100k in powertrain warranty. The answer isn't easy, there are tradeoffs.   I willfully use 0w20 Dexos D for this reason, knowing that a 0w40 will produce slightly less wear. I don't believe the delta in wear product is meaningful over the lifetime of the engine, and I place much more importance on driving style and overall feeding and care of the engine as a whole. It's the mentality that someone can abstain from alcohol their whole life which is an amazing boost to health by itself, theoretically. But if they're sedentary, that lifestyle choice will most likely kill them young despite their other, concerted efforts. Maybe someone doesn't drink AND they are the perfect picture of health and activity AND they use 0w40 AND they treat their engine perfectly. If living until 130 years is the goal, sure, do that. But it's going to be a really old truck falling apart around a good engine for that last 30 years, without a doubt.   I watched Demonworks' other video on the 100k+ 3.0 Duramax that had dealer 0w20 changes on what appears to be OLM-prescribed intervals (8-10k).   The QR codes are still present and readable on the main bearings. That's how little wear it has.   That's not proof that anyone else should stick to 0w20, but it's confirmation, for me, that 0w20 is perfectly acceptable to use in these engines.

      1Based on independent testing of OE 0W-20 in the Peugeot TU3M Wear Test as required by the dexos1 Gen 2 specification.

      oh ya that's good to know - I would rather use a gear than the brakes down a long hill.  I would not let cruise control take over on snow or towing a trailer for sure on hills anyway.     The other thing about the CO trip was that was all done above 6K feet for the most part, so that has to use more gas as the motor is down a good amount of power up there.   If I drove my 2016 Camaro with a very similar V8 to this 6.6 it would probably get about 23-24 on the fast run up to NE.  But the premium fuel premium is steep here in CO, so it would still only save about $40 in overall costs for the round-trip.  And you sure can't carry much gear in a convertible camaro!
