Question
I got a new 6.2 the first part of June. Now have 2400 miles on it. Really like it. I know this horse may have been beat to death, but when coasting and slowing down from highway speeds, I notice a slight ticking noise. Sounds like this may be normal. Can anyone confirm. The only other thing I have noticed and I thought was weird was that the inside of the tail pipe is black with soot. When you run your finger along the inside it comes out black. Seems like all the new vehicles stay roughly the same color as the steel. Anyone else experience this? I was going to do the first oil change at 3000 miles. I will mention this when I drop it off at the dealership. Thanks!

The 6.2 valve train is a little loud, wouldnt hurt having the dealer check it out if it bothers you. as for the tailpipe, mine is almost solid black but i am running a tune which i know can cause a richer condition.

Every 6.2 I see its black inside. Mine doesn’t burn a drop of oil like Ive heard some say that use Mobil 1 talk about a quart every 1,000-1,500 miles I change mine every 3,000 with Castrol Edge 5w30 and I haven’t had any oil lose at all.

I've never seen the first discussion about a 2017+ 6.2 burning any oil.

So.. you got me wondering if something is not right with my 2015 6.2L .. inside of the tail pipe is black with soot.. Engine does not use any oil between oil changes.. (5W20 Mobil 1). No tick noise ever..

There is nothing wrong. I told you mine is the same way and its a 19. I dont care what anybody on here says their tailpipe isnt clean like it was when it was brand new every 6.2 and I see alot of them with all the fleet stuff that runs around from pipeline trucks and what not and every one of them is discolored.
