“I own a 2007 Gmc SIERRA 1500 crew cab. I have some issues when I start my truck in the mornings, I get a tapping noise as if there are lifters stuck or not getting sufficient oil. I have always used the recommended AC oil filters that I purchase from the local dealership parts center so I know that the filter is not the problem. I am a mechanic so I know what an engine is supposed to sound like. The noise will continue until the engine warms up which is approximately 10-15 minutes and is very annoying. …”
