Just bought a brand new 2005 Duramax and a strange ticking noise is coming from the motor something I never heard in my 01, from 0 to 120,000 miles. Any ideas out there, or is it this new noise only the LLY makes?

14.71 @96MPH first and only run!

Mine is doing the same thing. (05 LLY) I took it to the dealer and they pulled a service bulletin on it and said it was normal. Also if you do a search on this in the forums you will see other people have had this same thing. Most say it gos away after they put a few thousand miles on them. I can say I have 3500 miles on mine and it is starting to go away. Thought it was an exhaust leak at first on the drivers side.

Yea mine is on the passenger side and i got a matco scanner and none of the injectors came up bad so i was cool with that i thought it would have to do with the amount of torque and **** i have added to it but i only ran it one time. thanks man!

It's completely normal. Most Duramax's do it.

Mine did it at first then went away. Now it's back again and 18,000 miles:think: . I've learned to ignore it.

More information on ticking noise, well with the Edge Programmer on it running stage 5, the tick will come on strong when you slow down after a run, not to mention it sounds like its coming directly from the middle of the motor, could it be a lifter. Even though they are rolling lifters?

Same here the Edge box seems to make it worse when the engine is cruising but not really loaded.

The infamous "ticking" has been discussed qiute a bit on this forum, do a search like Max Power suggested and you will find that it comes and goes mostly after the first couple of oil changes. Most dealers will say that it is normal in the D-Max.
