- In this video we address a failing oil pickup tube O-ring that is occurring in my wife's Tahoe. This is a common problem amongst many LS powered vehicles, and it is something that can be fixed at home in the garage for cheap. The Failing O-ring causes air in the system, and the valvetrain will usually be noisy, or one or two lifters will actually begin to "tick".

Brother. You saved me a TON of money. I replaced my oil pan gasket about 6 months ago. Every since then I’ve had that Chevy tick! But it’s been sporadic and not constant. Had already ordered a lifter kit and was fully prepared to dig in and pull the heads off and do a full blown lifter replacement and having my heads resurfaced while I was at it. Just happened to stumble across this video and I wish I could upload a pic of my o-ring. Apparently we moved the pickup tube when replacing the oil pan gasket and it caused the o-ring to pinch and split. Thank you so much for this video. THIS is what TH-cam is for! 💪🏼
Hell yeah!!! 💪❤️
Yea it was bad after i did mine too. I just about went crazy
Yes Ive never seen this talked about and I just stumbled across it drinking my morning coffee. So if its not intermittent does that mean its probably a lifter issue?
Diddo .....
You can tell the oil pressure is low when you turn on the engine, another sign that either the oil pres sensor or the o ring of the pick up tube need replacement, or both, in addition to the ticking noise. Well done!
My 2005 Yukon 4.8 started ticking about 3 months ago after 180,000 miles. After 5 miles the ticking would start but then it would stop after about 15 miles. Ticking would be loud sometimes and was driving me crazy. Found this video and decided I would do this. I found the o-ring on the pickup tube crushed on one side. When I started to remove it and the o-ring just split. Put the new o-ring on the pickup tube and new gasket on the oil pan. After everything was put back together I took it for a ride. There was no ticking. After 1 month, I still haven't heard the ticking. Thanks for the video, it helped so much.
I did this over the summer.
Dropped the pan
Removed P/U tube
Cleaned tube out (brake parts cleaner)
Cleaned oil pan out completely
New O ring, filter and felpro gasket.
Oil pressure IMMEDIATELY up over 50#
Then over 40 during idle.
I'm so glad I did it
My 2018 gmc sierra 5.3 only has 19k miles on it and sounds just like this... Should I replace the o ring then? 😳
Thanks for your help. I've been dealing with this tap for 2 years the o ring was my exact problem. You save me a grand or more on a lifer replacement. Thanks once again.
I have never commented on anything, but I've had a lifter tick for over a year that came and went , I saw this post/vid, did the repair and the tick is gone and engine sounds smother that ever.... Such a simple repair that resulted in a major improvement. This should be the first thing done before pulling out the big bucks for replacing anything and everything.
Thank You!!!
I did this to my Tahoe, I highly recommend everyone with an ls with less than 40 psi oil pressure at idle. Mine has 50+ psi at idle now, it was 20 or so before
Glad to hear!
At idle? Little high for idle imo.
@@th4bl4ckm4n if I could put a video I. This comment section I would. Change your o-ring and you will believe me.
@@Highstranger951 don't get me wrong cause I've changed mine too. But it idles lower for me
@@DickHamm @ how much labor would that cost?? $$$???
Thank you so much for this video! After watching, I made this repair to my 2002 Silverado and so far it looks like that little o-ring was indeed the problem!! I took it to the Chevy dealer/service a year ago and they told me I needed a new motor. Snakes!
Had the terrible tick on my 2005 Tahoe, I back it up a steep hill with noise pointed down, oil went to front of engine covering pick up oil O ring. NO TICK. Had new oil pick up o ring installed, that was 20k miles ago, shows a increase in oil pressure and no tick.
Great video Man! And you made me laugh. Congratulations on the new baby!!
Thanks Bill! hope all is well for you too
Not a mechanic, but a tech tip I picked up was to jack up from the rear diff enough to visibly tilt the truck a couple inches from the rear. If the tick stops usually a bad o ring on the pick up. So far has been on the money.
That is pretty interesting! Thanks for that info!
Even better, find a steep driveway 👍
Going to try that tomorrow on my steep driveway! Thanks.
@@Mikael5732did u try it
Tilt it toward the front or rear of the vehilcle?
Tight Work Bro 💪 Thank u very much for this helpfull vid 🙏 🙌
The right stuff is the best. I sealed the carb bowl on my dirt bike back in the day. I was sold since.
I actually had a little tick in my 03 5.3 , put new surpentine belt on fixed it!!
Yes I got same problem thank you for the nice video
My 2007 Cadillac escalade just started some kind of knocking/ticking sound.
I will give this a try and will use "LS Engine Oil Pump Pickup Tube Brace / Clamp" to hold it evenly once I'm able to walk again. Will be harder with the 4wd but that's part of the fun as u said : ). Will update once done.
Thanks heaps.
Any luck with the fix?
Changed the Pick Up O Ring and Fixed the Tapping. !! Hallelujah.
Heck yes!
Good to see you. I didn't see you put out a video a week ago. I was wondering where you went.
Thanks! Yeah I am pumped to be back at it
@@DickHamm Awesome! Congrats, nothing like having kids.
Awesome video and straight to the point. I hope mine works out the same way?.Thank you
Just did this after a solid liqui Moly engine flush + Liqui Moly Hydraulic Lifter additive - still slight tick. Aggravating.
Welcome back. Hope all is well.
Appreciate it!!
LOVE THE SQUARE BODY BACK THERE BRO
Great video Dick!
Thanks!
Thanks for the video. The sound is similar to the one that the Tahoe makes when there is no steering fluid. Check steering fluid first since it is an easy fix. Excelente video anyways
Hello Richie!!!

I can confirm, had the tick initially, it got worse after sometime where it sounded more like tapping, it'd come and go randomly, I ended up using thicker oil as a remedy, lowered the tapping but it definitely was there. eventually, I got a check engine light after 6-8 months of on and off with the tapping, turned out to be my oil pressure, replaced the O ring + gasket, and that fixed the entire thing.
Sounds like mine almost i lose oil pressure and get a nasty tick when my truck is warmed up so I'm gonna change my o ring and gasket and see if it works
@@NatekCGSNdid it fix?
@@zl9148 yea
GREAT JOB MAN GREAT JOB
Good video, I need to do this soon Bc I have 226,000 miles on mine.
Is there an actual video of the noise tick it was making ?
Great video 👍
Is everything you did in this video the same for an 03 suburban LT
I swear bro you record like I look at the cam...lol, hey thanks for this info..im bout to do this to my 5.3
Good stuff! Same vehicle , same tick , hopefully same result. Ty
No problem! Still fine too
Gracias maestro buen trabajo y buena ayuda lo are en mi silvetado 2010 🤝👍
Hey did your oil pressure on the dash change any after you did this?
I would use some AT 205 stop leak. Minor main seal leaks can be stopped with this product. It works by rejuvenating the rubber seal and swelling it slightly. Sometimes you get lucky and this totally stops the problem even on leaks that drip a lot.
Interesting I’ll have to check that one out!
GREAT JOB BRO
Hey Dick that a good presentation, I will be doing that tomorrow and I hope that it brings my oil pressure back up because it has no oil pressure and it is ticking like the one you did.
did it fix your problem
Did it fix your problem? Because I am having same problem.
Hey my experience with the LS pick up tube fix is that the factory only put one bolt in the pick up tube to oil pump even tho it has 2 holes which is what eventually causes failure/lifter tick from oil starvation over time. They make a small bracket that allows you to bolt both sides of the pick up tube down to prevent that failure in the future
Yeah improved racing has a nice one. I think a lot of it has to do with pinching it on replacement too
@@DickHamm thats the one i got.
Any chance you can link to that kit or where to get it?
I have an 02 avalanche with a 5.3l lm7 engine. Does the link in the description with the torque specs work for that as well? I'm about to do this to my truck this weekend.
Good morning, I changed the oil pump on a 2006 Chevrolet 5.3 because it had low pressure. Now that it has a new one, every morning or every time the engine cools down when starting, the lifters or horses make a noise and after a few seconds it comes loose, do you think it's because of that ring gasket??? thank you
Having code P219A and slight tick. Oil pressure looks good, however could it have good oil pressure but a bad o-ring on the pickup tube?
In progress of this myself, using a 1/4hex electric impact need torque specs for the pickup tube nuts/bolts. Oil pan bolts to include the 15mm ones that attach to trans.
Ls1howto.com has the torque specs of the whole engine
Thankyou so much it help to quiet it
Thank you very much for this, my 2005 Yukon is doing this right now. Sounds great when started then once it’s warm tick tick tick tick tick. Ugh it 4wd though. Gotta deal with a front differential. Thanks again for you video.
You don’t have to remove the whole front differential just loosen it on the passenger side so that it drops a little it will give you enough room to slide pan out. I just replaced my oil pan gasket about 3 weeks ago so I know it works
My 2002 Silverado Z71 extended cab with the 5.3 has the ticking at startup with 111000 miles. Goes away after a minute.
I have good oil pressure. So could my issue be a passage restricted up around the lifter that would be fixed by an engine oil treatment?
Thanks
I started hearing the tick in my 09 tahoe , it’s not constant i only hear it when I turn it on and after a while it’s gone … would it be the o ring gasket too ?
I always make sure to do a full under carriage wash at a hand car wash before doing this type of work. Also make sure the block surface is clean and dry and surrounding areas with brake parts cleaner. Nothing sucks worse than being on your back installing a pan and just when you're about to put it in place you hit a dirty/oil spot on the dab of gasket sealant and have to wiggle out from under and prep it again.
Permatex Black - Right Stuff - is Awesome!
Another thing that can cause tick with hydraulic lash adjusters is pouring in "Engine Restore" - that blue stuff with gold flake for loss of compression. It doesn't harden, but is similar to a fine grit sand. It gunks up HLA'S and gives a false sense of security for worn piston rings. Snake Oil at its Finest!
USe any 10 30 or 40 non syn and your lifters will quiet right down forever.
At 18:56, what is that high pitch noise? The alternator pulley?
*Update: Tahoe is good. No ticking 👌*
@dick hamm So replacing the o-ring on the pick up tube is what fixed the ticking? I actually own an 05 tahoe 2wd w/ the 4.8 only difference is my ticking is constant. Thought I would need to replace the lifter itself and possibly other engine components. Would like to know what you think. Would also love saving the money if that all it is?
Mine blew up I guess 🤷♀️ I’ve been without it for months 🙂
Update: it was my flywheel! Changed it but I blew the transmission AHA. So I get to pull the tran back out yayyy 🥺
i have a 2wd also did you have to loosen the rack and pinion? or drop the front axle? ive seen other videos diong this but im assuming its because it was 4wd
Was your oil pressure low before you replaced the o ring ,or was it normal, thanks
what it mean when my 2005 gmc Yukon is knocking is it the knock sensor or lifters
I’m gonna do this next month. Hopefully it helps.
Did your oil pressure gauge jiggle before you fixed the o ring? Mine started ticking and has a misfire when cold. Seems to stop after oil has circulated through. Tick goes away as well.
Have you ever had issues with the starter relay? Seems like a common problem (cold run)
The air is sucking into the pickup tube through the O-ring and eventually traped in the lifters which causes the ticking.
The ticking in my truck got worst after the 0-ring got replaced.any ideas?
This sound just as much like the issue I’m having with my 05 Tahoe but my question is not to sound dumb I’m learning still but is the oil P/U tube and o- rings the same as a 5.3? And also my oil pressure is around 38 psi to around 45 sometimes is that normal?
I replaced my pick up tube o-ring and oil pan gasket the other night. fixed my trucks low oil pressure issue and no more lifter tick. Thanks!
Glad to hear!
Not more ticking ? O ring was bad ?
Not more ticking ? O ring was bad ?
I have the same problem with mi 4.8 never stop ticking
@@xaviergtz5790 my o-ring was bad.
is the color of the o ring really important?
that oil pan gasket comes with an o-ring?
72401 is that the part number for the o ring
Damn ! I wish I found this video a year ago ! I sold my truck with 220 k miles. This was likely the problem . Hind Sight 20/20 I was hoping to get to 500k
I have the same tahoe same year and everything when you change the rear main seal can you do a video on it
You bet!
What if it does it every day after it warms up once it warms up it ticks loud as hell for about 10 minutes and then stops and then it’s quiet. pretty much only does it if it’s been sitting for a hot minute and then it Repeats
Thanks man
You can drop the side of the crossmember closest to the oil pan it'll give enough room to drop the pan
Nice
Thanks
Interesting design flaw. Engineers had to expect that oil seals like that would leak with age. I wonder if it would have worked better if the seal were in a position that is normally below the oil level of the pan. Then air wouldn't get in and reduce the efficiency of the pump at every startup.
Definitely a scam
They could of had two machined surfaces with two bolts no stupid o ring
I just recovered my 03 RWD with the 4.8. He ticks a little bit...ill have to look into this...
Wish we could have heard a before / after sound
Hey Bro what year is that Chevy truck next to you?
I told my wife to this dude out here Tahoe and Chevy truck just like I do
Right stuff is the best there is!!
Great video, I would like to know how much would you charge to fix my Tahoe, it's exactly the same noise, my name is Carmela
How the heck did you get the key in the ignition at that angle..... I have to sit down in the seat EVERY DAMN TIME. Nice to see another video so soon buddy!
Hahaha enough caffeine and anything is possible
My oil guage is pegged out on my 04 silverado 4x4 so I assumed that the guage was faulty and not reading correctly.got the truck with 220,000 miles.has TIS rims with 33's.it ran like a charm the day I got it but in 3 mos I had to do a remanned 4l60e.ive had this same intermitten tick that ive been chasing and a P0300. I did MAF sensor,crank position sensor, and next will be coil packs and plugs...i got the truck at a good price even with adding a transmission but that tick is bothering the hell out of me.some days dont do it at all....also somtimes I can be going down the road and all the dash warning lights will come on.then go off after 10 or so seconds.kind of aggravating as well!!
This might be my issue. I’ve just done a head gasket and she started up beautifully. But this tick appeared after the second day. I’ll see about this.
I've been searching on youtube for awhile to confirm my suspicions about that rubber seal that goes bad..I have this same issue..you can shut the motor off and restart it 5 or 6 times..it will go way until you let the oil pressure drop Below 40psi for 30 seconds. I am glad I found this video...so one question..did this fix the problem?
Can you have a bad O ring and tick with good oil pressure and no Check engine light?
Yes
How long did this take ? Great Video man !
Not too bad, with cleaning and not really going too fast at all I would say 3 hours? could probably get it done within an hour rather easily if hustling, esp with a lift
@dick hamm So replacing the o-ring on the pick up tube is what fixed the ticking? I actually own an 05 tahoe 2wd w/ the 4.8 only difference is my ticking is constant. Thought I would need to replace the lifter itself and possibly other engine components. Would like to know what you think. Would also love saving the money if that all it is?
Great video man, my 6.0 has been ticking too but the oil pressure reads just fine. Only thing is that it jumps around at idle, normally around 40 to 45 psi. As soon as I accelerate though, it goes up to 70 and holds steady. Do you think this could be because of that gasket?
Thank you, and it’s always hard to say without hearing it but I’d say it’s def possible
dirty lifters will tick as well. Something you can do that won't hurt is run 6 Oz. of seafoam in your crankcase for 50 miles and change your oil, use a full synthetic as it will have better cleaning action than conventional. Also use a good filter that has a backflow preventer, purolator one or purolator boss filters have this, there are others, but I use purolator. My oil of choice is penzoil platinum full synthetic 5w-30.
@@Heathfx5 Yes, full synthetic is by far more superior than conventional oil.
I have the exact same issue
thanks it seems to have worked.. for now
Man I'm at a loss. Mine only ticks on a cold startup, then quits when driving around town at 25-35 mph. If i go on the highway at 65 mph its sing like a sewing machine, noticable and annoying. O ring or a collapsed lifter?
You're lucky you have a 2 wheel drive truck. So much easier to take off the pan. On the 4WD models you have to drop the entire front differential assembly to get to it.
M
Yeah that’s what I was thinking
I seen that you used the AC Delco PF61E oil filter. Why is that and why not use the PF46E filter?
No specific reason but this one is a little deeper filter 👌
Cool. Thanks
Hey Dick Hamm!! Hope to get a response.. I checked in to get the lifter noise fixed.. then I realized you pulled down the oil pan and the shop said my leak is coming from the oil pan gasket.. they said they had to drop the engine in order to do it- are they jacking with me or what? U didn't drop yours right? I have a 06 silverado 5.3 btw Cheers, talk soon!?!?
4x4?
Is the tic just on start up? I have a tahoe with 275,000 on her.and noisy on cold starts.then goes away.thanks.peace!
I've seen both, it really can be intermittent. This one specifically would be pretty loud, and sometimes not go away, especially when hot. Then other days we would drive the thing all around town and it was moderately "noisy" in the valvetrain but not a specific ticking as with the other times. Yours could be O-ring related, oil related depending on location and weather, or maybe even a combo of the 2 in my opinion!
Good lord that power steering pump sounds like s**t man. Needs a flush. Good video
Did this today oil pressure didn't change still idles at 20 and 30ish on road and tick is still there ?
Was the O-ring you removed bad? Did the new one get pinched?
If that is good, I’d probably start to look at lifters/oil pump etc down that road
What about smoke on the first time of start up when the car has been sitting for more that 12hrs? Also oil pressure is reading about 1/4 lower than normal
That could be a few things, probably do a leak down check to start
You have a valve seal failure more than likely.
On these model chevy’s, I’ve found that most of time when you got a little bit of smoke on start up it’s the valve seals that need to be replaced.
Replace valve cover with pcm valve built in
How'd you get that oil pan so clean did you pressure wash it?
Yes I did, and simple green
All the 4WD guys disliked the video lol
Howdy Dick I have a 95 chevy tahoe four door four wheel drive.i made the mistake of bragging on how good It was sounding the day before yesterday..Well yesterday my wife took It to the store and did not warm It up even for one minute.When she came back all my lifters were clicking on both sides.I put some oil in it but it didn't quieten it down..Does this sound like the oil pump to you??..Thanks
Hard to say on that one, def would want to check out some more things to make sure it’s okay
@@DickHamm well now I'm In the process of putting a new oil pump and pickup screen and pump shaft In this tahoe and I'm using Melling parts..I hope this goes smooth bevause I've never put a oil pump In before.I hope I getter done right..Thanks for the reply and wish me luck..My nerves are a bit shot buy I think I can I thin I can..Ill let ya know In a day or so If I know I can..LoL..Thanks
Has it done it again yet? I have an 06 Sierra with the same problem
So far so good 🤞
@@DickHamm keep is informed of the success or failure! Great vid BTW
Also where did you purchase the o ring?
Any part store. FellPro number 72401
My 2006 GMC Sierra has the 4.8 it has the intermittent tick but idles at 40 psi and when driving it goes up to 60 psi, any ideas??
Could still be the o ring in my opinion
I have same engine my lifters started ticking I put Sea Form in oil before I needed a oil change then When I changed oil I put another can of Sea Form in also in the oil Filter No More ticking oil gauge back to normal pressure.
So, only a gasket in pick up tube fixed this? How? My oil pressure is always below 40, unless I'm accelerating. Should I do this?
Air gets in
Sounds like its within limits. When you accelerate does the pressure increase?
@@DickHamm oh absolutely. Goes above 50 then drops to just below 40. There is also what you called intermittent tick. It starts to tick 1 or 2 minutes after starting it cold. I forgot to mention. I have a small rear main seal leak. Could this???
Did you have low pressure before? Has the tick come back?
has not come back, I can't say it was noticeably low. Depending on how low I would start to look at doing a pump too just my opinion though
Dick Hamm my pressure is fine I previously did oil pump and lifters ran fine no ticks.. had couple thousand miles decided to put a small boost cam,push rods, valve seal, and rockers.. now I got a faint tick... gonna try the oring tomorrow and see
Yeah I’ve actually pinched one myself on a build, not excited to admit lol it could be the ring. Sounds like you’ll get it handled though, let me know how it goes
Keep buying the Supertech. I have a 2nd Gen Vortec with almost 300K miles. Lifetime of Supertec full syn and Delco filters and I still love to floor it from time to time, you know...Let the Hosses run a little... Nary a peep of complaint from the old girl.
Oh hellsss yeah. Usually the house brand has something bigger behind it anyways. If the frequency is consistent and correct I dont see an issue with most any oil you can buy for an application like this 🤷♂️
What did use to clean up the bottom of the engine
Simple green I believe, lemon scent because I hate the green one lol
Thank you
