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 Jus Cruisin · Posted

      I was the GM of a Lincoln Mercury dealership back in the 80's. The service lot was always full with "broken" ones. Plenty of transmissions, power windows and a/c repairs. The only one I'd consider owning would be the Marauder at this point and it certainly wouldn't be a daily driver.  My 2025 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali Ultimate is my "Lincoln Town Car" in my retirement. I want all the "stuff". Big infotainment screens, one touch power windows, Supercruise (I won't buy another vehicle without it), hands free pretty much everything. I'm going to swap my current truck for a 2027 Yukon Denali Ultimate so I can have the air suspension and surround vision recording along with all the other "stuff".

      The Denali Ultimate's grille is tinted, but the "regular' Denali has a bright chrome grille like the current models.

      Because that is IDIOTIC, much like this question. They've already been forced to do it by past administrations - why would you roll that back when it's a GOOD thing?  WHO IS ARGUING FOR LOWER MILEAGE???? 😂  NOBODY IS!!   I'm certainly not! What I want is RELIABLE vehicles again that are worth the price paid!    I don't get your logic here ...   In 2003 I paid $2,200 for our '86 Grand Marquis. It's STILL running and I've never been inside the engine, aside for the timing cover since it was leaking, so I threw a new timing set in since that makes sense. Transmission is ORIGINAL. Electric pump in the gas tank is ORIGINAL. Rear end is ORIGINAL. I'd have to hit my head REAL hard to want to pay $60k or more for a car that still can't come close to the comfort, seating and storage space, or reliability of this one. Nothing is even in the ball park! Hundreds of thousands of brands and models have been built and sent to the crusher while this one keeps on going!   https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   I've got a whole fleet of cars, motorcycles, and a truck close to this age for summer and winter. No one could pay me enough to buy anything built this century. I have zero use for any it.

      Since I'm the one who has to fix them when they break, I'll take vehicles over 30 years old all day, EVERY day, over ANY modern crap. Have you attempted any repairs on anything built after 2006? It's a friggin nightmare, and gets worse the newer the model year.    If I had the will or desire, I can make any car of any age outside of a Model T (I don't have THAT much will ...) just as powerful, comfortable, and have all the tech the new stuff does, and get pretty close in mileage, too. I prefer SIMPLICITY. The less the vehicle has, the less to fix WHEN it breaks, not IF.   I'm glad you snot-nosed punks don't like them. More for us, plus that keeps the prices from climbing more than they already have.👍
