I have a 2018 Chevy Silverado 1500 with the 6.2L engine. It has 42,600 miles on it. I bought it over the summer of 2023, so it has plenty of warranty left on it, luckily. I’ve noticed lately that the engine has a bad knocking or slapping sound when it starts in the cold (under 32 degrees Fahrenheit). I’m curious if anyone else has experienced this and what they did to fix it.

 

It sounds the same way my 2002 5.3 Tahoe would knock in the cold. I don’t appreciate a nearly brand new truck knocking the same way my 22 year old Tahoe knocks. 
 

Should I bring my truck into the dealership to have them diagnose an issue? Is this normal?

You have extended warranty coverage?

 

Because it's already past the standard 5/60,000 coverage.

Yes, I bought an extended warranty from the dealership that covers nearly everything. Goes until 2028 or 100,000 miles.

I might just take it in to question the noise anyways.

      This is for those over 70 years of age contemplating joint replacement surgery involving general anesthesia. Even some 55 yrs. ago when I took my pharmacology class the dangers of developing dementia in the elderly that had general anesthesia were beginning to be recognized. Over the years there has been some refinement in the cautionary warnings, avoid general anesthesia if possible if you've had close to 10 priors, especially over the age of 70 and/or a family history of dementia. I'm not including the twilight anesthesia induced by propofol often used in cytoscopies or colonscopies. Seriously think about seeing a neurologist and undergo cognitive testing before proceeding if any of those criteria apply to you. Spinal anesthesia may be an option in some cases. I'm in the above camp and although I could use a new right knee, I get fidgety according to a prior orthopedic surgeon when the bone saw spools up or maybe it was the smell of saw blade meeting bone, anyhow I may have one general anesthesia left in me which I will pocket for now and I'm choosing mind over mobility, anyway where did I leave my damn cane!

      First time it really happened to me was when I was 69 yrs old and I was called "Old Timer" by a complete stranger. Then in rapid succession came the aforementioned "Old Man" and my favorite of all "Pops".

      Where is the Ambient Air Temperature Sensor on a 2021 Chevy Suburban?

      By newdude · Posted

      Yea that's pretty normal to be off a few degrees after sitting.  Usually 2-4 degrees from say a weather app or thermometer.  I've seen it a bit more if you are parked facing the sun too when its really hot out.
