   There have been multiple instances of engine ticking upon start up. I have 4 videos with sound. I can provide a link if necessary to dropbox or google drive if necessary since there is no way to upload them to this site. This has been reported by GM 6.2L owners as being a precursor to engine failure. I have not had the sound confirmed by a dealer or service center. The vehicle has not been inspected. There have been no warning lamps.
