Why does my GM Truck make a squeaking noise?
Worn cam lobe and/or lifter roller: Generally, a worn cam lobe on this engine family will create a consistent chirp, squeak, squeal, or tick noise at camshaft speed and/or a misfire with a P0300-P0308 DTC. The misfire may or may not be felt and the misfire could occur at all RPM or just a specific rpm, such as idle only or only at high rpm.
Why does my air conditioner make a noise when I turn it on?
If the noise is changed by applying pressure to the valve side of the rocker, this is most likely the result of a lifter and/or cam lobe concern on that cylinder. Sometimes this works, sometimes it does not — it seems to depend on the amount of cam lobe wear.
Why does my GM car make a tick noise?
Customers may complain of a SES light, misfire, DTC P0300, and/or a chirp, squeak, squeal or tick noise — which may mean a potential valvetrain concern. Models involved include: Some customers may complain of a SES light, engine misfire, and/or engine noise.
What to do when your engine chirps or squeaks?
If a collapsed AFM lifter is found, refer to the latest version of PIP4568 for additional information. On engines with AFM (active fuel management), you can command AFM on with the scan tool, which will unlatch the lifters on cylinders 1, 4, 6, and 7 and stop opening the related valves.

Why does my GMC Sierra make a whining noise?
If it changes with the engine, it’s most likely going to be an accessory bolted to the engine (or the radio, shut it off and see if it stops). If it stay constant as you rev the engine it’s going to be something else. A whining sound when accelerating is almost always caused by a bad accessory attached to your Sierra’s engine.
Why is my car squealing and screeching while driving?
Squealing and squeaking noises are trying to tell you there is a problem. The serpentine belt can be showing signs of wear as well or a worn out tensioner that is not supplying adequate pressure to the belt. Both of these noises can come and go and occur at different times while driving.

Why does my GM P0300 make a squeaking noise?
If the engine misfires continue to increase during aggressive deceleration with engine braking, or if the misfire occurs consistently, a static compression test, running compression test or cylinder leakage test may isolate the sticking valve.
What causes a tick noise on a GM Truck?
GM has determined that the cause may be any of the following: • a collapsed AFM (Active Fuel Management) lifter. Diagnose a worn cam lobe or lifter roller. GM states that a worn cam lobe creates a consistent chirp, squeak, squeal, or tick noise at camshaft speed, along with a misfire with trouble codes P0300-P0308.
What causes a clunking noise on the driveline?
Cause: Bad wheel bearings Noise: Driveline squeaking or grinding at any speed Cause:Worn or damaged U-joints Noise: Clunking when depressing the throttle pedal (takeoff) Cause:Worn U-joints; worn spider gears; worn axle splines; excessive gear backlash; loose yoke splines; worn slip yoke splines Noise:Clunk immediately after taking off from a stop
What do I do if I hear a noise in my engine?
On engines with AFM (active fuel management), you can command AFM on with the scan tool, which will unlatch the lifters on cylinders 1, 4, 6, and 7 and stop opening the related valves. If the noise is eliminated, there is a good chance that the noise is coming from the valvetrain of cylinders 1, 4, 6, or 7.
