Default 2014 chirping sound

good morning all

1st time corvette owner and am in need of some input. I recently took my car in for a strange ticking sound that was coming from the motor and I could feel vibration through the floor board, and gear shift.

Chevy diagnosed it to be a transmission issue and replaced the "transmission boot." well that was wrong and then diagnosed it with a bad fuel pump.

After that I drove the car maybe a hand full of times (not much. The car has a total of 13,500 miles) and now I have this noise coming from the motor. The dealership is now saying its the motor and they want 2 grand just to disassemble to diagnose. I feel like the car is making this chirping sound because of something they did and they just want to get more money out of me to fix a problem they created.

I am taking it to a local Corvette shop here in Central Florida, but before I do I was wanting some input before I get completely hosed again. Could this sound be from something the dealership did or is it pure coincidence.

Attached is a short video

Thanks for the time

Try running it without the serpantine belt on. It sounds like a squeaky pulley -- No harm in trying it for a few seconds.

Belt tensioner pulley or water pump. Those would be my suspects.

First thing I did. Not supercharger or pulleys. It’s definitely motor


thanks for the input though.

Hey my 2014 z51 stingray is doing the exact same thing as yours and making the same sound as yours in the video. Did you find out what was causing this or have any advice for me on something i can check?

i did sir. And unfortunately it wasn’t pretty. A roller rocker fell and at the camshaft. It would have been expensive but fortunetly, extended warranty covered it. I think you would cost me around $6000
