Help diagnose engine tick, Video inside
My moms 05 5.3 started making a ticking/knocking sound when you first start it up, then it seems like it goes away, or used to. It seems like it is getting a little worse now and you can hear it while driving around town, but not on the highway, i think because of the noise. Truck is bone stock with 150K miles. It seems like its coming from the drivers side at the top of the engine, but you can hear it best from the top of the wheel on the drivers side.

hmmmm my truck has made a similar but much quieter sound for a while now. same tempo. buddy of mine asked about it last night fearing it might be his truck. 6 liter is cheaper than cam, lifters, and all the gaskets. hmmmm, anyone got a good deal they know of???
