I have an 07 Tahoe with the 5.3. I have a ticking sound coming from the drivers side of the engine every now and then. It starts up after being on the highway for 20 min and goes away after a little but I think I have narrowed it down to a dirty lifter. As of now the engine still runs smooth and that cylinder has not shut off.
If I leave it and don't fix it until it goes all the way out will this hurt other parts of the engine?
And does anyone have any tips to clean it without changing them completely. I have heard oil additives damage the active fuel management engines.
