Tick Noise that just wont go away!!!

[tirwin88]

I notice several people having problems with a tick noise. Well so far this week I have spent 500 bucks and still the noise exists. I had the fan clutch replaced which apparently was where the tick was coming from. Still the tick goes on and on. I take it to a chevy dealer per my mechanic for a PCR program that chevy has a bulletin for. Still the tick persists. The chevy mechanic told me the sound is coming from the water pump? I see no leaks and I am now broke with a car ticking away. MY mechanic said he doubts its the water pump but will take a look at it on Monday. Of course I asked for a price and he quoted another 400. ANy ideas on what else this could be or any symptoms I can look for to see if it is indeed the water pump?

It maybe an internal lifter thats ticking. Before you go pouring another $400 into the Blazer I would suggest trying some Auto-rx. I have used this product in 3 of my vehicles and it has done wonders. From the engine running smoother and quieter to increasing compression.

I had a ticking sound after replacing the fan clutch but it was an exhast donut that was bad.

Take the belt off to eliminate any pulley or ft bearing source.

Good advice Maxwedge. I am pretty sure it is not any of the pulleys but that would be a good way of eliminating it. Hadn't thought of it. Thanks.
