Hi I have an 02 Suburban. 200k miles on the 5.3L.


Noticed today this tick/knock sound. What's this sound like to you? Lifter, rod, or exhaust leak?

I do have a broken exhaust manifold bolt right near where I'm hearing this from, but I can't help but think, "this doesn't really sound like an exhaust leak."


Whats your thoughts based on the video? You might need headphones to hear it.
