Hi everyone!
Our Envoy has this Engine tick that still exists even after the engine is warmed up from a cold start. My parents bought our 02 Envoy with 42,000 miles back in 04 and now its creeping up on 142K, and it has always had this engine tick which sounds exactly the same as gmcman's Envoy (http://gmtnation.com/f25/cold-start-tick-1678/). I've been driving it to work and school will be starting in the next few weeks so I'd like to see if anything could be done to help quiet it down or get it to stop ticking all together. Since the weather is starting to warm up around here I'd figure it would be a good time to do an oil change and a gain a little power back from a good throttle body cleaning
I was planning on switching over to 10W-30 to see if it helps quiet it down and maybe some STP oil treatment? I'm not expecting miracles but it doesn't hurt to try right?
