The truck is a 1997 gmc sierra 1500 Z71 350cu.in. At idle it makes a constant ticking noise it does it when it's hot or cold and when going down hill or something similar while in gear. Under any type of load(in gear with brake etc.)in doesn't make the tick.A mechanic said it could be the hydraulic lifters but wasn't too sure. This truck is the type of thing that drives a person crazy because 3 years ago the fuel pump and transmission went out while on a trip and it cost about $2500 to fix it all. The other problem that it has is sometimes on the first or second shift(20km/h) it hesitates while shifting. It will go to shift and as if the engine shuts down, it stops for about 1 second and then continues as normal.After the first?second shift it doesn't do it. My thought is something electronic but who knows. Now the wood stove question. I have read before that you can't have a wood stove in a shop or something with a tractor or vehicle in it(insurance or code???). I'm looking for ontario here so maybe bruce hopf or buickanddeere or someone else from ontario could help.

After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
