2011 Yukon engine noise

[Gdorroh]

I have a 2011 Yukon Denali with the 6.2 engine. It has 155000 miles and just noticed this ticking noise from one side of engine. Any ideas what it might be?

I hear injectors and coils firing but no exhaust leak that I can tell.

Do you have a long extension or mechanic's stethoscope? Stick one end in your ear and touch the other to various parts until you isolate the sound. Watch your hair around the moving parts!

Hard to say, first thing you want to do is take off all of the belts and start it up for a minute and see if the noise is gone, if so then you know it's a bolt on
