Consumer Description

ENGINE NOISE: THIS 2000 JIMMY WITH THE 4.3 VORTEC IS QUITE NOISY. WHEN STARTING COLD ,ABOUT 20 SECONDS LATER A LIFTER WILL START TO RAP, THEN WILL GO AWAY AND THEN BACK. AFTER COMING OFF THE HIGHWAY, SEVERAL LIFTERS WILL GET LOUD. NOW, I HAVE HEARD 4 1998-2000 4.3 IN BLAZERS AND JIMMYS DO THIS. THEN DALERSHIPS SAY THIS IS NORMAL...TECHNICIANS SAY THERE IS A VALVE TRAIN ISSUE. THIS IS NOT NORMAL NOISE..INA DDITION, WHEN LOADING THE VEHICLE, LIKE GOING UP A STEEP HILL, ONE OR TWO LIFTERS SOUND LIKE THEY ARE READY TO LET LOOSE.....CAUSE OF PROBLEM? *AK
