2022 2500 HD 6.6 Gas. From day one there is a ticking noise best heard from the front passenger wheel area. Dealer didn't think it was an issue but bugs the crap out of me. 

Pretty vague I realize but any thoughts?

The direct injection system can be known to make a ticking sound.

 

Kinda hard for us to really say without hearing the exact noise.

Thanks, it's really low around the bottom of the belt. I can try and add a small video in the next few days.

Can you add more about the tick... Is it a random, does it sound like it has rhythm to it? Is it loud like a hammer tapping on iron, or something else. DI engines tick like crazy!

Consistent when engine running.  Fairly fast rythm.  120 bpm ish. Loud enough to hear from anywhere outside the vehicle.  

 

Didn't hear it on last 2 trucks .  But they were the 6.0 not 6.6 gas.

I don't believe the 6.0 is GDI but the 6.6 is. Circle back to Cameron's post. It's high pressure fuel pump ticking. Even my lowly 4.3 does it. You get use to it.

Thank you for the response.  Appreciate the info, thought it was a service issue but seems not to be.

 

Curious, Why does it make that sound?

Mine has this same tick almost sounds like lifter failing to hold pressure. And creating push rod slack .Seems to be less annoying when its cooler out say 50 degrees and lower. My 2019 5.3 had a tic but not like this one does. I went as far as removing the passenger valve cover to check the valve train. After hearing about GM valve spring issues. 3,800 miles no issues. Chocked it up to the character of the 6.6 l8t DI engine. 

 

OP did or have you changed your oil yet. Mine got louder after my first oil change. But has calmed down a bit as the oil gets older.

Yea sounds like mine. passenger side is very audible. I dunno if the high pressure pump or its cam driven lifter is a different design. But sounds more like pump noise than the typical injector pulse sound. Who knows it "aint broke"   so i just live with it.

Mine is a 2022 Silverado 2500Hd and I get this slight ticking upon acceleration.  I've used the same fuel and everything since purchased.  Not sure what it is but bothers me thinking of lifters?

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By KARNUT · Posted

      It wouldn’t have happened if the government hadn’t mandated outrageous fuel mileage standards. It does very little for the consumer. It adds cost. Back during Covid there was a chip shortage. They gave a rebate for your truck if it didn’t have the chip to turn on cylinder deactivation. It was 50$ because at best you may see 1/2 a mile increase per gallon. Splitting hairs each fuel mileage trick wasn’t mandated. The government doesn’t do the engineering work and say use this until it’s already in use and they like it. The fuel mileage was mandated. And those add ons the results. There’s a mandate and they are the results.

      It was never mandated.  Ever.    Automakers were incentivized to install it by getting CAFE credits to help with their vehicle fleet fuel economy scores.  They were being handed money/CAFE credits to install it.  Which is NOT a mandate.       The current admin removed the incentives that were behind them installing it.

      5 Best Slide Down Gameplay Tips! 

      By lanaderay · Posted

      Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!

      Why I Recommend a Desiccant Air Dryer for Cleaner, Drier Compressed Air

      By lingyuair · Posted

      If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.

      My brand new 2007 Silverado's wax frame was rust from end to end partway through it's SECOND winter here in MA. That stuff is completely useless.
