Consumer Description

CONSTANT LOUD TICKING NOISE FROM LEFT SIDE OF ENGINE/UNDERBODY. ONLY AUDIBLE WHILE TRUCK IS IN GEAR AND UNDER ACCELLERATION. SUSPECT FAULTY CATALYTIC CONVERTER OR MANIFOLD TO EXHAUST SEALS. IF LEAKING, COULD POSE HEALTH THREAT. DEALERSHIP AND CHEVROLET ADVISED. SO FAR, RESPONSE IS THAT IS THE WAY IT WAS DESIGNED. NOISE IS SIMPLY ENGINE HARMONICS PASSING THROUGH TAILPIPE. I DISAGREE
