Well I changed my mind. Had it towed to the dealer so I could demonstrate the noise (cold start).  I asked the service advisor if a tech would come out and listen for the noise with me present to avoi

I wasnt assuming everyone has it. Relax. Just supprised no else has had this noise based on that gm says they are aware of this issue.

Does it have a electric unit like the vettes then ?

Not sure if it's like the vettes but yes its electric. My brake pedal feels different everytime they update it.

My 2015 5.3L slowly started making a similar ticking sound. You could hear it immediately on start up and then it would slowly go away once the vehicle warmed up (10-15 mins). Took it into the dealership and they told me lifters and cam need replacing. Its currently under warranty for another 16 months thankfully. I am worried about what the future has in store for this motor. Getting a tune with AFM delete seems to be a beneficial option moving forward. I have to do more research... Only 69,000km and I am experiencing this. I drive my truck nice and easy like an old man too!

did you listen to the whole video?. My truck sounds fine the first 20ish seconds of startup. This noise starts after the RPMS drop to normal idle. I bought the truck with 150 miles on it and its been doing it since.

2019 Custom Trail Boss 5.3 AFM  3125mi 99hrs. Same problem here, knock on cold start after high idle goes down to normal idle rpm. Not wasting time taking to dealer until there is a fix or it blows up. Very very disappointing.

I'm new to the forum here is a link to a video on google drive. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-F78kbKOloomcOzkAYiSG5A98tQiijCP/view?usp=sharing

Sounds identical to mine. Just like mine, the noise will fade for a while after an oil change. 

 

Are you just going to ride it out until there is a fix? I don't have much faith considering the bulletin has been out for almost a year. I don't think they plan on fixing it anytime soon.

These engines both the 6.2 and 5.3 sound like a box of rocks at idle imo, nothing new my 14 6.2 does the same thing. Personally i really don't want to allow a gm tech at a dealer to crack open my engine unless it is no doubt gone or in trouble! I will say while driving though she revs fine and sounds great in the upper rpm range.

Did you watch our videos? The loud rapping noise is what we are talking about.

Yes the random tapping noise is what you are talking about right?

 

My 14 6.2 has the same random occasional tap noise at idle.

Not to discount your concern. I’ve owned lots of small blocks. GMs seemed to be noisy. My latest of 8 years sounds like marbles rolling around in the top end. Get it serviced at your GM dealer and have them make a note of the noise each time. If it fails they should back you up.

Way different then ours. Have you watched the videos? it happens dozens of times after the RPS drop and lasts a few minutes. Its raps so loud I can hear it in my kitchen while my truck warms up. 

 

I don't think we are talking about the same noise.

      Trading 7.3 (Godzilla) for G.M.C gas

      By James Beyer · Posted

      Congratulations Isttype, on your gmc. Really like my 2024 2500hd sle doublecab now with 85,500 miles.  I checked the oil today at 4800 miles since last oil change and barely reading on the stick.  I don't care if GM says it's Acceptable adding a quart every 2000 miles because that is 100% BS, It is not a 1966 Harley Shovelhead! Sounds like it's setting up a future failure like I had with my 1500 6.2l. Other than oil consumption problems, I really like the 6.6l gas and 10 speed is really nice.  Towed a light 4000 pound trailer last week and averaged 14 mpg.  I was pretty impressive that a 7300 pound gas truck did 14mpg towing, Later-

      Long Term Cold Cycle Limited Testing   Back to the 1990's and XOM's million mile test. Since then there have been others and there will be more. Schaeffer's, AMSOIL to name two. Of these Schaeffer's is the stand alone which I will explain in a bit later.    http://papers.sae.org/600190/:   http://papers.sae.org/850215/:   Up to 75% of  engine wear occurs on cold starts. These two links (above) provide the technical reasons for engine wear. In a nut shell, and by a large margin, cylinder wear is what takes out most motors and even with a pre-oiling system that part of the engine is dry enough on cold starts and cold warm up to pierce Stribeck.   So when you put a motor, or a car, on a dyno for a million miles stopping only for oil changes, (yes fuel is uninterrupted) or break down maintenance, you are depriving the test of the most important part of it's wear cycle. Yes a million is then a pretty easy walk even for a mineral oil under those conditions.    How about cleanliness during the long test cycles? Same thing. Varnishes that stick rings and insulate parts are laid down by repetitive 'heat cycles'. It's the cool down the precipitates the varnishes. These long runs also hinder acidic attack caused by cold start richness and less than optimal cold start ring sealing. They hinder water formation and enhance breathing of the crankcase; the petri dish of acid formation, the first step in sludge formation, amalgamation and precipitation. These motors are also monitored and controlled for water and oil temperatures to within the "normal operating range".      https://www.swri.org/sites/default/files/sequence-iiih-test.pdf Note the test sequence in some boutique oils literature for testing, API IIIH, is not the standard used for the ILSAC G7 testing. Does that mean it is irrelevant? No, not as used. As used as a 'visual guide' it makes it's point. The G7 weighted piston deposit minimum is lower.      Back to Schaeffer's. That was a cyclical test of an engine in fleet service and not a dyno mule and if you saw the video it was not mirror clean but wear was low.    There are oils like BioSyn and other 'Renewable" source oils that taught cleanliness and have proven themselves in fleet testing. Havoline an other example.    The newest ILSAC G-7 test prioritize cleanliness, LSPI mitigation and fuel economy OVER WEAR. In comparison Porsche C30 Specification Verses ILSAC G-7 Specification below:      Some will balk that this graph isn't apples to apples and I will challenge that in that this graph represent the SPECIFICATION and not the any One Oil Performance.   It is absolutely possible to minimize wear, maximize cleanliness and mitigate LSPI etc., It just isn't cheap and currently I see none that are not walking toward profit over performance.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I don't think you will need a split, separate product, etc., the OBD port should be able to deliver everything you need. Since your device would be plugged into it all the time, it wouldn't miss anything.    Hardware in this case will be the easiest part of your project - ELM 327 devices will already deliver all the data you need. Reporting/software is where your advantage/marketability is.
