Thanks for all the replies, this is a great forum. I think I'll solve the ticking issue by getting a louder exhaust.

Best solution ever.

Mine ticks a bit too. I have driven my car hard enough that if something was going to break it would have happened by now. The tick sound is the exact same today as it was on day 1. I have 3500 km now/7 months.

The drive thru comment cracks me up... I freaking hate it too.. I put my intake and engine covers back on to shut it up some...

lil_red_v6 · 07-29-2010, 05:28 PM

there is no oil in the heards when i start the car on a cold start so it does that. when iy quits is when the oil is threw the push rods and stuff.

Jekyell-in hyde changed the engine? on a 2010? hmm I bought my 2010 last week, (Sept 10) with 10,000 miles on it... I noticed it ticked at start up, at the dealership I notice it in my garage "I am happy to live with it", if you guys say its normal..

I have a 2001 2500HD 6.0L with 140,000 Miles and it ticks and clatters and hauls my 8000lb RV trailer easily and I love it

I have a 2007 5.3 Suburban and its very quiet... ...

Mine does the same thing at startup, when I had my 06 gto the dealership told me it was piston slap and after the motor warmed up the noise was gone.

427Carl · 09-18-2010, 10:48 PM

I don't like the noise, so I make sure it has been running, before I show it off, to my friends lol

Thanks for the news on yours

We are birds of a feather Carl

What are you going to do?

Its the nature of the beast.

My LS3 has been quiet, but our 97 Silverado with 145xxx miles has the famous Chevy lifter tic and the 5.7L Vortec is still going strong. We've got a set of new lifters to drop in the Silverado, but not going to do that until it's really necessary.

jsharp · 03-24-2011, 09:26 PM

Since my car has been converted to LS3 with LS7 Lifters I have no more tic. Doesnt mean it wont com back but so far so good.
