My 6.2 is starting to make a similar noise at idle, mostly when its still warming up.   Yesterday i was moving my truck around in the driveway and it was idling for a couple mins, t Stat was well on its way to the normal 210 degrees and it was still making the noise.  

 

I'm due for an oil change and plan on going on this week.   Will see what they say.   

 

42k miles.

Does the oil need to be drained before replacing the pump?

Nope

So I have had my truck into Dealer on multiple occasions for what sounded like a lifter tick. This ticking noise was loudest in the morning first thing when starting engine. With the hood open it sounds like a lifter sticking and coming from under valve cover. You also can hear it through the drivers side wheel opening.

 

 

 

 

Just had mine replaced at 38K, the failure was written us part of my accident claim but I knowi have heard that ticking before. When I go to check out the truck tomorrow I will seeif it still has that tick. Great info thanks!

I stopped by friday to check on everything as they said it was ready. On start up and warm up i didnt hear the ticking, nothing noticable. I will say i was preoccupied with the shitty body work and the dealers attempt to say it was ready.

My truck is a 2016 5.3 with 26k and I've had the vacuum pump tick for about 20k miles. I've complained to the dealer for each of the last 3 oil changes and they say it's normal. What did you guys tell the dealer to get them to look at the issue seriously?

I Took a video of the ticking and brought it to another dealer,I told them I already know it's the vacuum pump and they confirmed the noise and swapped the pump. Haven't heard the noise since. I left multiple bad reviews for my dealer and chewed them out via email. Won't buy shit them them ever again. Certain dealers just don't care.

Thanks for the advice. I figured it would take a video to prove to these morons that it's not a normal noise. This dealer is definitely one of the shitty ones that don't care.

      No Software Updates - Old Build

      By DaleB · Posted

      Thanks, all. It sounds like keeping the software "as is" is the best course of action.

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overengineering   Excerpt from the above link: (BTW the above is a 90 second read)   [Quote]   A story about very precise engineering is given in the 1858 story The Deacon's Masterpiece or, the Wonderful "One-hoss Shay": A Logical Story by Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr., which tells of a carriage (one-horse shay) Because it had been engineered so that no single piece failed first – no piece was over-engineered relative to the others, and they thus all collapsed at the same time. A similar quote by Ferdinand Porsche claimed "the perfect race car crosses the finish line in first place and immediately falls into pieces."[5]   [End Quote}   By Engineering's  own definition then; the AFM and Torque Converters, 4-5-6 clutch assembly of the 6L80E, and a dozen other common chronic parts and systems failures are "UNDER ENGINEERED". And by their own definition done so with INTENT. Ya can't have it both ways OEM's.

      Broke Down on the Mountain

      By Gangly · Posted

      I was in Utah this week attempting a bow hunt in the Wasatch mountains with friends.  On the evening of the first hunt, making my way across a ridge to a friends camp, the upper control arm on the driver's side separated, the CV axle got trashed, and the wheel was dang near at a 45 degree angle to the ground.  I was able to get it towed off the mountain and into town about 3:00 am, and spent the remainder of the night in an O'Reilly's parking lot.  Luckily, there was a Chevrolet dealership not to far away so I was able to get to the dealership and pick up a new CV and UCA.  It would have been a few days before they could have gotten to the truck and I brought tools with me on hunt since it was a two day drive to get there, so I did the repairs myself in the O'Reilly's parking lot.      What's interesting is that the UCA ball joint didn't break, it just popped out of the bottom of the UCA.  There was VERY LITTLE evidence of grease on the ball joint or in the socket, and you could see where the ball joint had warbled out part of the socket over time.  I guess that's what happens over 186K miles of use :)   Big Kudos to O'Reilly's for letting me work on the truck in their parking lot.  However, they made a $150+ off of me from the purchase of various tools, so I guess it was in their best interest anyways :)   Getting towed off the mountain.   UCA Ball Joint Socket   Trashed CV   Suspension disconnected and UCA and CV Removed   New UCA and CV installed with the suspension buttoned up.

      What did you do to your "other" car (aka musclecar) today

      My family still laughs at me when they see me drive up in the minivan. Same with less than a V-8 truck. It helps that I have choices. I don’t think I could only have a minivan as the one and only vehicle as much as I like it. And I wouldn’t pass up a good buy on an older V-8 reg cab GM truck. Could you live Raven as the only ride?
