    2018 5.7L tapping sound

    If only if I could get it the sound on mic I've tried many ways to do it but for it to announce more with lube maybe the truck owner before let it sit too much/ran oil 10k miles like these goofy dealers suggest/ran cheap oil or all the above. I think i'll at least try 0w30 as that could be a...

    2018 5.7L tapping sound

    Well to be fair to anyone who commented I decided to do a follow up post. I never mentioned the oil was pretty freshly changed in my comments before so I did add some lubeguard. Well well well, that noise is a little more noticeable even at lower rpm now. I would take the time to think now...

    2018 5.7L tapping sound

    Gotcha, from responses; using some lubeguard on this engine may be a good idea sound or no sound so going to start that up. On 2nd tank of 93 octane as of this morning along with the 2nd round of Lucas fuel system cleaner see if that helps. I did notice a bit better throttle response after...

    Doing some noted, yes around 3k to 3.5k is when I hear it. It's very brief, you said an oil change fixed it for you?

    Usually I get mine from wallyworld as I live in the middle of no where lol. Usually grab quaker state, pen, valvoline, havoline. I have used supertech (not on this truck) before as well not sure of your opinion of any of those? Supertech is pretty cheap for a full syn and dex gen 2 approved...

    What am I looking for in the filter? Metal I'm guessing or excessive grit?

    2018 5.7L tapping sound

    It very well could just be a normal sound I never caught before. Sadly to ask a dealer to look it would be $180 for what may be nothing but me being paranoid. I picked up some red line that you mentioned. Going to use it soon oil change was just done 1200 miles ago, should I change it now and...

    2018 5.7L tapping sound

    It's not auditable in the video. I tried a few times guess after hearing it fresh and trying to capture it it sounds like someone rubbing 2 quarters together for about 2 secs then goes away. https://youtu.be/CFU8TImsrI8?si=CEm6duqZpbiUXEXu

    87, 89, 93 in my local area. I haven't tried a higher grade fuel at all. Most stations here are equally as busy as the next except for one but everyone knows to avoid that one lol. I am going to try and record the sound here in a bit. If it's not auditable in the video I can at least note...

    2018 5.7L tapping sound

    It only does it if you juice it and let it pull through an rpm band right at the end of it, it will make the sound (between shifts) It's coming from the engine bay so Idk if it's the drop in rpm making an injector noise/one plug maybe not firing the same or if there's improper lube going on...
