Re: Ticking while engine is cold

Have you pinpointed where the noise is coming from? It could be valvetrain noise like lifters which is common on 3.4L engines or in the drive pulley system. Another problem is piston slap which can sound like a ticking sound but should disappear. GM says not to worry about it in the applicable TSBs.
