Could be the vacuum pump. They will develop a tick as they are  getting bad.

As stated vacuum pump but that is easy to check. then I would pull the valve covers and look over everything. But also do it only do this in v4? What is your oil pressure? 

If it is you HPFP I would think about looking into that ASAP. there has been fires. All of this can be checked in the software.

After dealer gave me there last line of bs I would take it home and strip it down and find out whats up.

I think we both had our trucks fixed around the same time a few months ago? 

I just noticed 2 days ago on cold start its knocking again although not as loud.  Its also seeming to come from the other side now.   Ugh...

If it sounds like your blinker is on, it's the vacuum pump.  My truck only has 600 miles on it and it's been like this from day one.  I finally go in on Saturday for them to officially diagnose the sound.  Here is a video of mine.  It's the metallic/intermittent sound that sounds like the blinker is on.

Sewing machine sound are the injectors.  Do a search.  Plenty of people complain about the sewing machine sound.  It's normal with DI engine.

before they "Replaced" the left side lifters the noise would start just after cold start after idles down.  it would go away after warmed up.  after the did the work it was fine for a couple days and then the same noise started.  Now the noise is just after the engine turns over and almost goes away after warm up.  to me it sounds like its coming from the front left side of engine.  Gonna borrow a Stethoscope from work and **** with it.

Mine sounds the same as the video. It goes away after warming up. Currently at 5k miles, noticed it around 1k.

    • Thanks for posting, I'm sure it will help someone
    • New to diesel trucks. I happened to find my oil cooler leaking oil externally with only 4,000 miles on the truck. I didn’t realize this was an issue until I started researching it. Dealer is going to replace it under warranty but I’m wondering if there’s anything GM is working on to fix this issue. I’ve heard the oil filter used is the same as they use on their V6 motors and that’s what is causing the problems. Should I switch to a bigger filter or keep using the OEM recommended? 
    • So, GMCustomerService:  Judging by the Update History pictured above, is this truck missing any updates that it actually needs. If it's just for the infotainment system, the radio is working fine and no trouble with SeriusXM. and Android Auto is working fine wirelessly with my phone. Some months ago, an update notice was sent to my truck. I approved the update and it finished saying that the update was successful, but it seems that whatever that update was, it didn't actually get installed - at least not if I'm to go by the Update History shown above.   So, again, are there any updates that this truck really should have? I've checked with my dealer but they're reluctant or commit to anything and if I want them to check, they require a $200.00 fee just to check it out and then I'd have to pay for the actual update(s).    Ignorance is bliss, and if none of the updates goes to fixing any mechanical discrepancies, I'll just leave things as is.  
    • Hey everyone, I recently had an issue with my 07 2500HD GMT900. My DRL’s stay on at all times. Right front turn and right mirror turn signal indicator stay on solid at all times. By “at all times” I mean the only way to make them go off is disconnecting the battery. I tore the headlight assemblies out, tried disconnecting the harnesses to eliminate bad wiring at the harness, I unplugged the headlight switch, no change and the mirror turn signal still stayed on. My first thoughts were : Bad bulb and/or socket somewhere, under hood fuse panel bad, bcm bad, tail light or trailer wiring problem, or some random short to power in the harness.  Possibly a bad ground but unlikely. I had a big clue in the fuse panel, it had a burnt smell. I started pulling every fuse that had to do with DRL or right turn/park lamp. Nothing made the right directional turn off but pulling the DRL2 fuse made the DRL’s go out.  After studying wiring diagrams, I found that both problems had that fuse panel in common, the bcm also controls both problems but knowing the fuse panel had a burnt smell I removed and disassembled the fuse panel and found a little corrosion on the printed circuit board.  I ordered a new fuse panel from Amazon for like $260. When it arrived I installed it, and put everything back together, the problem was fixed. I figured the fuse panel needed to be replaced anyway so that was a logical place to start. Hopefully this story helps someone in the future. Regretfully I didn’t scan for codes before I did everything.
    • That stinks. I’m sitting on the side of the road right now with the same issue. Never had an issue before taking it in for the ground strap recall. Now I’m outside of warranty and they’ll probably want $200 just to diagnose what they already “fixed”.
