I own a 2006 Chevrolet silverado truck. I have noticed a ticking wile the trucks engine is cold. I have taken in the truck for repair and my mechanic informed me that the exhaust bolts are broken on the exhaust manifold. This is a common problem with gm trucks and there should be a recall from gm to fix this problem.
Exhaust bolts on 2006 silverado, 4. 3 v6, breaking at 40,000 miles, creating fire hazard and letting carbon monoxide back into cab. Contacted gm, wanted to run diagnostics on broken bolts, ha ha very funny. Lot of good that would have done.
Normal vehicle operation - passenger side exhaust flange don't/gasket- do to a flaw in the design, the flange is not allowed to be tightened enough to maintain gasket seal thus allowing carbon monoxide/exhaust into the vehicle.
