Made it home on Saturday
Came out of the hollers of Kentucky by the Natural Bridge area. Jumped onto the Mountain Parkaway to take the quick way back to Ohio via 75. No sooner did I accelerate then the truck started "thunking" (Yep, technical term here!). It sounded along the likes of a u-joint going bad. No engine codes and but the thunking remained for 250 miles until we got it home to the garage. There was no rhyme or reason as to the cause as it wasn't reproducable in different speeds or accelerations. Since it's an 11/20 build with 9800 miles now, I was positive we would be stranded on the road via the GM lifter saga.
Once everything was unloaded, I started the truck. It started right up and no codes (Guessing as no check engine light). But (A big BUT), there's a very noticeable tapping from the engine. Very thankful we made it home.
Cancelling our travel plans for Monday and will call the local dealer when they first open up or I may just drive it over.
Tried to start it AM to take it to the dealership and the bells and light show was (not) impressive and it sounded like a tank. Waiting for a tow now.
