I want to go to 5w30 but don’t want to void my 3 years of remaining warranty. I feel like it’s up to the dealership to get it purring like a lion again.No, i don't mean get them replaced, you can but i've heard they go to doing it again. Might try changine that oil up one wt.

They did the manifold bolts in the fall so I’m pretty pissed to hear that sound on startup. The lifter rattle is fairly new and getting worse quickly.
Didnt want to push the issue but from all the reading on here thats what most of the dalers are saying. Normal normal. So many cases of this they think it is normal i guess. And like i said the few who have gotten the dealer to replace them noise returns 10,000 miles later sometimes. Was hoping you would have a better chance with the dealer.

I did the same video with no wind, and from under the truck. I think you can hear it more clearly now. Definitely 2 very different sounds. I think broken bolt exhaust leak on the startup, then the in gear idol sounds awful.
Yes it sounds good when it warms up. Also the tick goes away when I give it some throttle.So my truck sounds exactly the same, had my neighbor listen (extensive mechanical experience), he didn’t think the noise when shifting into gear was valve or lifter related. I am staying up on oil changes, and giving it a minute or so before shifting into gear.
I assume your truck quiets down once good and warmed up?
mine had a lot done replaced a warped exhaust pipe ! broken bolts did have a load tic and had a fuel injector went out runs better but do here a number 6 cyl tick not to bad so guess with powertrain warranty just drive amsoil at 2000 replace and a rp filter hoping for another 50,000 miles on it ! added oil helper and noise did go down and not long 5 minutes nothing after warm up ? who knows right !I want to go to 5w30 but don’t want to void my 3 years of remaining warranty.
