I put the Rev limiter to 6000RPM and the shift points at +2, +3, +3, to test it and around 60MPH (100km/h) a noise comes from the engine. I sounds like the lifters ticking. Is this a problem or is this just a 5.3L thing?
Thanks
my money is on detonation especially if your running the cheapest gas and 87 octane. Put in some BP 93 and it will go away.

Does it sound like tiny rocks hitting body

Stoopid question: Do you get this at idle as well as in gear?
