Hey all,
I've got a noise coming from somewhere that is driving me nuts. It's a clicking of sorts that is coming from either the back of the engine, the transmission, or the transfer case. More noticable when cold, but still there when warm. It gets considerably more pronounced when in gear (I let pickup idle for at least 30 seconds after every start to prime transmission and other oils) and it gets louder w/ accelleration... can't really hear it if you let off from say 1/2 throttle and let it go back to idle, but as soon as you give it some pedal again, it's back.
I can make the sound quiet some by pulling down on my exhaust pipe, in front of the muffler, next to the transmission, but it doesn't go away, just quiets it some. Exhaust isn't rubbing anything, anywhere.
Do the 24 valves have the fuel return "noise" that the 12 valves have, and how is that fixed in the 12 valves? The reason I ask this is because my pickup is becoming slightly harder to start... can't really just bump the starter anymore, and my FP after priming to 15 PSI swings back to 0 almost instantly, like I've got a leak somewhere, but everything is tight that I can check.
Any ideas?
Thanks, Josh
