Ticking Lifter.......
#5
I would think most lifters would Tick when cold and the oil is a little thicker. I had an Oldsmobile with a 3800 V6, and it was the same thing. It really ticked after the car sat for about a year and a half. after about 10 minutes the ticking went away.

I use 10 weight oil in the winter and it's an average of about 20° here currently. The cars going to the Stealership before my powertrain warranty is up I was just wondering if anyone else had experienced the issue. I've never had a problem on any vehicle with l ticking lifters in the winter before.

The lifter tick is the nature of the beast.
I had a collapsed lifter and had to replace mine however. My lifter tick would never go away, hot or cold.

Just for kicks I emailed Roger @ Vincini Performance about a cam & lifter swap and he suggested a partslist for me but if there's anyone out there who's replaced the DoD crap can you supply me with your parts list and any advice???? The dealer is just gonna replace the DoD stuff so maybe it's time to do what I've been contemplating. Thanks in advance

It's not that hard of a repair but if that's how you feel than so be it.

The car has 117K miles on it, and its' on Transmission #3. It sucks because there are a lot of new parts on it, but I hate to keep putting the same amount of money as car payments into this car and not having a new car for the money.

Damn trans #3,It's yours though right??? My wife asks me all the time why I don't just sell my GXP and get a "Newer" vehicle and my answer to her is because I won't have the title to that 1.

I'm still not sure if I want to try to fix it, let the dealer fix it to get it out on the road quicker, or go with the match and gasoline option.

Anything else I should know before getting started. Thanks.
