So I maybe crazy, but you know when you change your oil and when you start the engine after putting new engine oil in you get a quick lifter noise until the engine pressure comes up and oil flows throughout the engine?  Well I get that noise every morning, engine must completely drain to pain and it’s like it’s got that noise of starting dry every morning after sitting over night,

 

5609 miles, I changed original oil at 3500, replaced with Amsoil Signature and Amsoil filter,  i
 

anyone else hearing this?

Cap, is the oil approved by GM?  Did you change the viscosity?

I also get a slight tick every morning. Appears to be on driver side. Goes away when warm. Started at about 10k miles. I use shell rotella gas truck. I have the 5.3

I get it too, but I will say when I changed to using Mobile one from the GM oil the noise greatly reduced.

It should should like angels singing and the exhaust should be perfumed, since Amsoil was used.  ?

 

Are you possibly talking about the two-stage oil pump sound?

Currently running 0w20.. could be the pump noise, not sure,  I’ll take a video and post tomorrow morning.. is the oil approved by GM? It has all and more certifications to comply with Gm specs,

No, Amsoil isn’t Dexos certified. While it exceeds the actual standards, they didn’t pay GM the “Dexos ransom” as some would call it. But hey...Amsoil products are “warranty secure“. Which means GM will blame the Amsoil, Amsoil will blame GM for a manufacturing defect, and nothing will get fixed in the meantime. ?

 

Only kidding, of course. I’ve never specifically heard of anyone having warranty problems over using Amsoil or anything else within spec.
 

DI engines are noisy and generally sound like crap. But mine never makes any odd noises upon startup that it doesn’t make any other time. Just using the AC Delco oil and filter.

    • HD at the moment, are kinda their own deal.  How LTZ sells on those vs on 1500, there is a difference.   They are merging most of the mid trims on 1500.  LT, RST and LTZ are replaced by one trim, Silverado.  LT and RST are a BIG portion of sales.    Bad naming choice aside, the new Silverado trim will offer the spread of options that those three trims offered.  So expect to see things like the tech package for example, and memory seats.  And LT Trail Boss will now just be "Trail Boss" (formerly LT Trail Boss) but will offer content spread like the new Silverado trim will.  The press photos showed the Trail Boss (formerly LT Trail Boss) has access to Super Cruise now, which on the current truck was High Country only.       Here is the Trail Boss interior.  Memory seats and Super Cruise are present.  All things the LT Trail Boss it replaces, and the RST it was based on didn't get on the current gen.  You had to go to LTZ or ZR2 for memory seats, and High Country for Super Cruise.      
    • I installed a Hellwig rear sway bar on my 21 Sierra SLT, it made a huge difference on how the truck handles, no body roll, the trucks much more planted now. Not sure of the suspension differences between the 21 and 26,  if its body roll your having a sway bar will solve it. 
    • So a follow up and my fix. I found in online searches the live data to look at on a scan tool to verify the fuel tank pressure sensor was working.  It showed an spec number towards the lower end of the rang, but in spec.  Then while it was running opened the gas cap and the pressure should change.  It didn't change even a tiny bit.  The data for the purge valve said it was open...never changed. So then I measured the voltages on the plug for the fuel pressure sensor and they matched what it should be.  So local car quest parts had the sensor in stock...it was a bit of a pain to remove and an even bigger one to get it to actually go back in.  It helped to unbolt the driveshaft and bungie cord away from the gas tank to give a bit more room to work. So fuel tank pressure sensor in I cleared the code, and started it up.  I went to the scan tool's live data and... Eureka! The pressure number was different and fluctuated a bit.  So took it on a short drive and pressure number varied saw the purge valve go from closed to open and back to closed.  Drove it to and from work for roughly a week plugged in the scan tool no codes.  I took it in to get tested and passed.  In my state's infinite wisdom (oops meant greed), since I pushed the test with the maximum extensions I have to take it back in by Feb '27 to 'get it back up to date', then my next test won't be until Feb '29. 
    • Any grease on the stud threads of any kind?   Wheel studs should have NOTHING on them for proper torquing and so the nuts don't back off.     Are all of the mating surfaces clean?  So wheel, rotor and hub?     We've had plenty of trucks at work with that wheel, this is a first to me.  Makes me think they've got a lube tech putting anti-seize on all the wheel studs or some kind of grease, and they need to stop doing that.  To have 11 other trucks with the same exact problem.      
    • I was a Chevy guy for years, then switched to GMC because I liked the looks better.  I'm actually thinking I like the Chevy looks better than GMC for the first time in a lot of years.   One thing I know for certain, the new GMC dash is hideous!  Chevy wins this one!
