I have a 99 Jimmy with a 4.3l in it. When the motor is cold and I start it there is a ticking noise. It stops after about a minute, and is not there at all when I start the motor after it is already warmed up. The truck has 260,000km on it. I'm planning on keeping it for a while longer as it is in really good shape overall. Anybody have an idea what this could be and if it is fixable?
