Hello, my truck, 2009 Sierra, is at the dealer for bad lifters. I have diagnosed the sound and even found the TSB on the issue where bad lifters were installed on various 5.3's from 2007-2011. I understand many vehicles have a tick sound. Mine has two ticks, the normal tick and the loud tick within the engine at start up. From listening to multiple videos my sound is clearly bad lifters and fits the TSB description perfectly. TSB #10-06-01-007B. I have attached the TSB PDF for your curiosity.
I had a Pennzoil Ultra filter on my truck. There is no mention of using only AC Delco parts in the manual. Only Dexos approved oils and such. As long as the filter is the recommended filter for said vehicle and not a knock off, then it is OK to use the filter.
Dealer said that the issue was with my Ultra filter because it does not have a "check valve." I have a saved voice mail saying that when my engine is shut off, the Ultra filter does not let oil fall back into the filter, thus causing the noise. Where as this AC Delco filter with the check valve allows the oil to fall back into the filter.
Which is odd because every time I change my oil filter it is completely full of oil.
Part numbers:
-these filters are the recommended filters for my vehicle-
Ultra: XG10060
AC Delco: PF48
I have seen cut-up filters of both the PF48 and Ultra filters. There is a core/mesh material, filter media, and an anti-drain back valve. Perhaps this ADV is what they were referring too?
As far as I understand this is nothing but a ploy to deny my warranty work and blame the filter. Which, without evidence, is against Federal law according to the Magnuson-Moss Act.
The dealership also wants to charge me $15.00 for the filter. Again, according to the Magnuson-Moss act they can not say a certain brand part has to be used, Unless they supply the parts free of charge. My truck is still at the dealer and I am planning on speaking to the service manager.
What is every one's opinions on the matter?
Is there such thing as a check-valve?
Thank you for your posts and time!
EDIT: It appears I can not attach a PDF. Here is a direct link to the PDF download. Thank you.
