The engine in my 2000 chevy has a knock and tapping noise this has been a ongoing problem I have talked to two chevy dealers and they say it is normal but it keeps getting worse the mileage now is 76585 .
While driving during a cold or warm start, engine will start making loud clicking noises coming from valves. Consumer has to warm up engine before driving it every day to try to avoid noise. Dealer could not determine where noise was coming from.
Engine valves would make a loud tapping sound intermittently when starting. Dealer was notified, and informed consumer not to be concerned if it did not last more then a minute.
The 2000 Silverado has to be a blunder by general motors. The truck has bad tires, the engine has used oil since day one . The engine has a deep knocking noise in the lower part and a tapping noise in the upper part . The engine has a miss at idle and no matter how much diagnostic equipment you hook up to the truck you can't find the reason, but after checking I have found that all the 99 and 2000 silerado's with the 5. 3 have had a strange miss/vibration. There are so many more problems that I can't explain them all within this comment section. . Note the truck only has 8,592 miles. General motors has got a major problem with these trucks . Gm trucks have really gone down hill . Gm customers need to be able to get ahold of some upper level management to discuss their problems and address their concerns on timely manner.

Engine has a deep knocking noise in the lower part and a tapping noise in the upper part after setting several hours or overnight. Also the same thing happens when hot upon start-up. Dealer stated the engine knocking in their oppinion did not last over a minute and half, therefore the gm tech asst advised no repairs are required, this is a normal condition. Although the dealer stated gm is aware of the problem. How can this be normal and a problem? gm has a major problem with this 4. 8 and 5. 3 engines.
Vibration in vehicle, oil consumption, brakes, popping noise in front-end.
Steering wheel shaking bad and light vibration in cab above 62+ m. P. H(took to dealer and have had tires balanced 3 times, dealer said no fix at this time, I should not be told this for paying $ 30,000 for the truck. ( light ticking noise coming from engine idle to 1000 r. P. M 's ) dealer said no worry but what is going to happen when it is out of warranty.
