Prepare thy anus and Google your issue.
It is a known issue with ALL of those engines including my 09 Tahoe. It is a factory defect that Chevrolet refuses to recognize or recall because it would be billions.
The engine is fricked and it happens to every one right around that mileage and then about every 40k thereafter. Take it to the dealer and raise hell. Chevy will offer to pay a portion of the repairs but it will still cost you about $1,500. They are going to need to tear the heads apart and replace the lifters and valves. In most cases, you hear the ticking only when the lifter is actually broken which means the broken portion has scarred your cam and that will need to be replaced as well. That was my case. I did it a year ago and it is already burning oil again.
Good luck.
