Oh God! Strange noise

[Peaches]

So, just jumped in my Yukon started it up, I'm sitting here idling and I hear a loud, metallic noise, kind of like a large, heavy metal gate opening, lasting about 5 seconds, thoughts?

Air, heat, wipers, etc. running?

Heat, no wipers, I can hear the compressor engaging, other than that, maybe radio. Ran a tad rough for a few seconds before evening out.

It was so loud, I thought it had to do with a nearby train...until I realized there was no train, or any other machinery running near by. I have NEVER heard a noise like this before, especially not out of a truck.

I wonder if somewhere did not get oil yet.

I don't know man, but that was scary. It was almost similar to a long, low trumpet blast. Freakin' scary. I've heard some awful noises before, but this takes the cake.

Supposing it something didn't get oil, maybe a compressor or something, does that indicate a little or big issue?

I would just keep listening and see if you can hear it do it again or if it just happened this one time.

Yeah, it didn't do it again when I restarted it 10 minutes later. If it does become a more frequent problem, I have a feeling it will only do it at inopportune times, i.e. never in front of a mechanic and only in front of my cynical ass husband.

If he laughs or makes any smart ass remarks just kick him in the nuts

lifter noise and or piston slap.

Have the oil changed by husband or shop to some quality oil.

I would assume it would only do it after sitting for a long period of time if it is an oil problem.

I doubt it was lifter noise.
