Sorry to hear about all of ya'lls problems. First, let me say that I work at a chevy dealership, and am a qualified tech. The knocking or tapping on initial start-up in the morning can normally be solved one of two ways. First, a PF46 oil filter, it has a check valve in it to keep the oil in the crankcase when the engine has been shut off and has no oil pressure. Also, please do not use a fram oil filter, I have seen problems with these, I have even seen a fram oil filter blow a dipstick out of its tube!!!! If your not going to use ac delco, use a wix or napa gold. Second, we have replaced several sets of lifters, some have collapsed and make a similar noise on initial crank-up and during normal engine operation. Also, it is a good idea to replace all the lifters if one has failed. on another note, the reason dealerships don't like warranty is, warranty time does not pay as much as customer pay time. another words, lets say a particular job actually takes 1.5 hours to complete, warranty will only pay, lets say about .9 of an hour. Warranty work often bites technicians in the butt, I know customers get aggravated when they go to a dealership and are told no problem found, but thats just the way it is sometimes. If there is an actual problem, sometimes it just has to get worse so the the tech can duplicate customer complaint. But in reality, they're all man made and subject to failure at some point in time, due to driver abuse or mileage, they're all gonna die sooner or later. I hope I haven't offended anyone with my ramblin, but I really don't care. just remember next time you walk into a dealership "sugar attracts more bees that vinegar." Please don't go in and start raising cain, that will make the service personnel very unwilling to help.
