Hey fellas.
I have the infamous GM lifter noise/tick now which I assume is the AFM lifter issue others have mentioned. The noise went from nonexistent to occasional to the point where it does it the entire time the engine is running (started that this week). So I figured it was time to set an appointment to get it checked out. When I scheduled the appointment, the service advisor asked when the last time was that I changed the oil and how many miles it has been. (3 months/4000 miles...running Mobil1). I thought that was an odd question. Im old school and still check the oil each time I fill up and the truck doesn't burn a drop of oil.
What do you think he is fishing for with that question?
I go in tomorrow morning at 7:30 so we'll see how it goes. While I'm there, I'm going to have them look at the fan motor for the heat as well. The motor chirps like a bird when its on low and the temps are below 30.
