FaultCrate・GMC Yukon XL 2000–2006・Noise, 2003
Candidate cause (the documents say what to do)
Oil pump pickup (screen) O-ring cut: engine tick / lifter noise
Customers may report an engine tick that has likely been present since new and is typically noticed within the first 161-322 km (100-200 mi).
The noise may be present at cold start, appear to diminish, and then return as the engine warms to operating temperature.
What to do
- Inspect the O-ring seal and replace it as necessary.
- The O-ring for C/K trucks is part number 12563963.
Caution: The noise may often be diagnosed as a collapsed lifter.
