I've got a Chevy 3500 with the TBI big block. I regularly tow my 5th wheel with it and I've noticed a ticking sound coming from under the dash. Kind of around my feet. Maybe more toward the center. It's a sharp rapid ticking, and rather quiet. It's only been present when we are towing and going up a hill in the middle of the rpm range. If I punch the gas and drop a gear, ticking goes away. If I let off the gas, ticking goes away. I'm talking about going the speed of your average semi truck. Maybe a bit slower. I'm not winning any races here.
I haven't noticed any other symptoms. No electrical stuff happens with the ticking. No power loss, no misfiring. Nothing weird at all. Just this obnoxious and scary sounding ticking. And at 6.5mpg, I try not to push the truck too hard. Any ideas? The trailer is also my house, so if there's some preventative stuff I can do, any input would be great.
