My tapping was intermittent too. Did notice the misfire.
Dont the HD have other problems to deal with? Seems like everything does these days.
I don’t do 3k oil changes but I change it around 5k. Have used pennzoil platinum and wix for years. Have always taken care of them as they are too expensive to ignore.Engine parts expand and shrink as temp vary, but as it is getting cooler now I too occasionally hear the random tap upon cold starts until the engine warms up to temp....IMO it not uncommon and normal as long as it is not a constant rhythm and very loud. As long as it goes away as the engine warms you should be good. Don't go full throttle when the engine is cold. The 6.2 is a big engine and take a lot of oil that needs to warm up. So does the transmission ....If it gets louder or becomes a consistent noise... then take it in right away!
Mine has approximately 26,800 miles so far. You either get a good engine or a bad one and some of that depends on using a quality oil and doing regular changes at lower intervals than 5k or 10k, more like 2.5 to 3k....as well as a quality filter. Take care of your engine and it will take care of you
That’s just nasty lolOn another heated thread, we all agreed that Crico Corn Oil 40w70 was the best for its organic qualities and as a bonus after you drain it you can cook with it to recycle.
Funny enough, I have never owned a diesel vehicle. Always thought about it but it just never happened. Much like owning a black vehicle. Always wanted one and just never did it lol.You fellas would have a head explosion if you had to listen to some of the mystery noises that come out of a Duramax
Never owned a diesel either. Wouldn't work for me for my short drives.
Short drives is bad for a diesel? So I assume driving the kids to school and coming back home would not be good lol.
That's what I read on the internet lol
My wife doesnt drive too much either. She has a 2022 Wrangler with 11K on it.
And this is part of why everyone hates dealerships. They never have a sense of urgency when they hold something youre paying on.
You're exactly right. When the lifters went on my 2015 Silverado 5.3l, the dealer I bought it from replaced the motor under warranty. At first they told me it would only be about a week and a half to complete everything, but it took 2 weeks to get approval from the warranty company then another 2 1/2 weeks to replace the motor. So, for 4 1/2 weeks I had to ride my motorcycle to work every day, which normally wouldn't be bad, but it was at the beginning on November at the time and the weather didn't exactly cooperate. It was a long 4 1/2 weeks of calling the dealer service department trying to get my truck back. And like you said, they really didn't care that I didn't have my vehicle that I was paying on for that long.
What was the bad news that they told you?
