LS3 ticking?
Good evening everybody!
Is this ticking noise normal for the LS3? I do not remember hearing it before and I want to make sure everything is good to go. I have roughly 15.6k miles on it. Only mods so far are solo performance high flow cats. I'd appreciate any feedback..  |

I had ticking at 28000 miles, ended being fan belt pulley & tensioner and the dealer replaced anf the belt under warranty.

Sounds normal to me, actually not as bad as others I've heard.

It did take my dealer 3 days to figure it out, but I was happy the ticking was gone.
Good luck. |

My car has the exact same ticking also louder on passenger side under the car I've owned it for 2 weeks it's only got 65000kms I changed my oil to mobil 1 and mobil 1 oil filter as recommended I was thinking of adding a zinc and phosphorus additive to see if that would help?

Before thinking it's a belt pulley or tensioner make sure there's not a rock or something jammed in the tire tread, can also make a ticking sound.
Good luck |

My belt pulley and tensioner made the ticking at idle, didn't notice at speed because it was winter, windows up at 20 degrees.

If mine didn't sound like a sewing machine, I'd think something was wrong
