Sad Ls4 Issues 😢

[@Akwardturtle]

If it just started you still have time to save it. I waited about 60k miles on mine after the ticking started and I'm just now needing a rebuild at 180k. Ordered all my parts, just saving for labor as it is expensive AF because I have no idea how to put together a T.V stand.

Can we get an update?

[@adamwest2424]

Iam on my second SS, first one lifters collapsed. Got a better condition one with low mileage and no tick. If you connect range afm disabler the engine will run on all 8 cylinders at all times. It is a must for this car with that afm

Can we get an update on #2?

[@leejustin412]

O ring on oil pick up tube. They go bad too and lower op to the lifters.

[@terrenceanthony4320]

There's also a filter under the oil pressure switch that can effect the lifters

[@carolschapker728]

I love Castrol as well. That's what I use in all my cars

[@brandonwoolen4836]

My 06 impala SS did the exact same thing. I changed what oil I was using which was mobile I. Changed up to royal purple. It stopped those cold start lifter ticks. Love the car man. Hope you keep her!

[@voltageyt2576]

2006 impala ss, 40k miles , 11k? Good deal or not worth it

[@jdyblvccsheep6577]

Fuck no. It’s gonna fall regardless. Find the cheapest one possible and use the rest for rebuilds and mods

[@josephstalin6281]

My Super has been ticking since I bought it 10,000 miles ago, just 10w-30 and Lucas synthetic and she has been doing fine, still ticks here and there but 0 problems for now, I also only have 174K.

[@billblount7854]

Not sure the severity of it but lifter ticks a pretty common thing in higher mileage ls. Not necessarily a big deal. Unless it's that annoying.

[@minnesotamade2468]

I have actual ocd

[@billblount7854]

@@minnesotamade2468 I can feel that. My ls2 had lifter tick before she blew up eventually. I have a couple bums in my right fender that make me want to cry every time I see them..

[@Bmstaudy]

@@billblount7854 I thought my ls2 had a lifter tick like most of them do but it turned out to be an exhaust leak from a loose bolt in the head

[@MrSonic731]

@@minnesotamade2468 dude I really think all cars with v8’s do that .Literally every v8 car I had did that noise ,sure it isn’t fuel injectors?

[@jdubb21autoworks21]

@@MrSonic731 yeah my 11 Tahoe had lifter tick but after it warms up it stops

[@ogmudbonexxwarzone1436]

could be a exhaust manifold gasket or crack on manifold . common on 5.3l

[@minnesotamade2468]

It was lifters

[@TheCorneggs99]

that is not a power steering whine, it's something inside the transmission, possibly the torque converter

[@coolmodee]

I got rid of my gxp. I regret it every day now. Guess I just got tired of the issues.

[@joeykliniski3336]

Nice SS looks good

[@teewild290]

Got one too 06 mine started yesterday but got all the goodies for it now

[@XDM327]

If it stops get the AFM disabler

[@mikedeotis526]

I just sold a 07 Monte ss had the same issue went to my guy and he did the dod delete and we ran an engine flush in it for 5 minutes drained the oil, put marvel mystery oil and valvoline high mileage oil and problem went away completely after a few days

[@jonathancastillo8802]

What did you end up doing my lifters just started ticking after running great I just got it a week ago and I’m having a low oil pressure light on cold start

[@minnesotamade2468]

I changed oil put 10-w40 in it and it fixed it

[@jonathancastillo8802]

@@minnesotamade2468 awesome I plan on changing my oil this weekend and changing the oil pressure sensor as well

[@MrSonic731]
