Thanks for the advice! I just recently in the past few thousand miles had a water pump and serpentine belt replaced. When I was looking at all the pulleys I think I could just barely see the slightest wobble on the tensioner. Seems louder on the passenger side which I thought was odd
I have this odd noise that is much quieter in person but the phone captured it loudly. I’d like to assume a pulley but it has an odd sound that I can’t quite place.

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks :)
I still have a couple thousand miles left before I change out my Valvoline EP 5w-20 but I was curious on your guys thoughts on possibly switching to HPL super car 0w-30? Probably going to buy a pump from black stone to get an analyis prior to the change. Last change iron content was somewhat...
Sat outside the truck and waited for the tick to come and it is confirmed the purge valve. Held my finger on it and it pulses quite a bit which I’m sure may be normal but I don’t think the sound it makes is. Going to replace and see if it quiets down.
I’m not positive it’s making the noise but I read it’s possible. Could maybe be on its ways out? Cheap part so it’s not a huge deal if it’s the problem. Just weird how I’ll be standing in front of the truck and it’ll be quiet then start making the click/tick. Same with it stopping the noise...
I’ve done some research and I have a ticking noise that’s goes on and off intermittently that I noticed at idle. Read that the purge valve activates to release fumes and it’s most likely that. I thought it was noisy injectors at first but the fact it stops every so often then comes back leads me...
No towing for me! I plan on trying the lubrication strategy sooner or later but I have no issues currently besides what I think is just noisy injectors. I live in Upper Michigan so it gets quite cold. You still think 5w-30 would be the best option? Potential for -30 degree Fahrenheit or even less
Thanks guys! Lots of short trips back and forth to work and the occasional 100-150 round trip drive on the weekend for fishing. Not sure if that could affect my not so great iron number or the TBN. I’ll go to 5k this time. This is also the second oil change on the truck. the first one I had a...
Got this truck in February and this is my first UOA with Valvoline Entended Protection 5w-20. Don’t mind the name ;) Any thoughts would be appreciated!
