Default Need help asap strange noise

ok i got a 07 new body sierra 1500 with a 5.3. i just had it in the shop 2 and half weeks ago for some warranty work replacing the lifters and driving from work it started ticking bad and oil pressure droped about 10 lbs. any ideas what it could be. warranty just expired but they should still stand behind it being it was just repaired before warranty went out.

Call them up and take it back right away!!! Could be anything from a fault lifter, bad oil pump, spun bearings and so on... Only way to know will be to take it back and let them look it over.

Call them asap and take it to your nearest gm dealer or back to the dealer that did the work.

If not find you a L9H 6.2 scrap the 5.3 and never look back cause it won't be in the shop anymore after that.
