2011 Chevy Tahoe Ticking Noise

Customer complained of a tapping (or ticking) sound in their 2011 Chevy Tahoe. In this video, I show you how the tapping (or ticking) sound can be caused by the starter.

Thank you good sir… went to dealer and they wanted 3000$ to drops the transmission… watched this and it was my starter. Changed it myself. That was the issue. Wow. Thank you.

Thank you for posting this. I sent this to my nephew who owns an auto repair shop and he and the other mechanics could not figure out where the noise was coming from on my 2010 Suburban. He watched this and checked the starter and it was fixed!!! Awesome advice and videos that you’re posting. Thank you.

I heard the same noise I checked all of my bolts but at the end of the day. I had the same problem thanks for saving me hundreds of dollars. Thank

Thought I had a cracked flexplate and ran into your video. My starter had that exact issue! Just replaced the starter and noise is gone! Thank you for a great video!

Just wanted to say thank you. this is exactly what was the problem with my 08 tahoe. no one could figure out what was causing the noise but I swapped out the starter today and it was exactly as you describe. The bendix loose and just floating around with no tension. saved me a trip to the garage.
THANK YOU!

I wish the mechanics I have deal with were half of honest of what you are
You are a good Man 👍🏾

I wish we could have heard it on the video before replacing the stater. Thanks for the video sir.

Great video. I was going crazy trying to find the noise and after I watched your video I checked the starter and bingo. That's the noise. Thanks man. Fyi. My starter is only 3 months old.

Wish I would of seen your video before I installed a new driveshaft but was still a lot of help fixed my problem right away

Saved me tons of work! Internet and buddies told me flywheel but after I remembered watching your video here, and determining the flywheel was good, I removed the starter to find it loose. New starter and all is well. Thanks 👍

Awesome brotha. I do believe it's my starter that I hear hitting the flywheel.

Thank you sir. I've been chasing this noise in an ls swapped jeep.

Thanks u solved my problem I went straight out side an went straight to the problem

You may have just nailed this for me finally. I have a 2015 2500 HD with the 6.0. I noticed if I tapped the starter the noise would stop for a moment. It's a random "tin can in the wind" noise that doesn't change with acceleration. I ruled out the catalytic converter. I guess I should pull it off and check it out!

Replaced two cats and left the rally muffler shop with a rattling noise coming from what I think is the transmission. Found something suggesting in the torque converter..wish I went to this guy for his honest business.

[whitdough]

That solenoid may be my issue, I'm not getting nothing but the starter free spinning each time I try and crank the engine, thanks for the clarity.

[LuisReyes-mvyf]

Thanks sir. I was about to buy a fly wheel for my 2012 gmc sierra..i will check the starter first.

Wish you had some footage of the sound

Thanks a lot bud, I was contemplating removing the transmission.
