[QUOTE="Alan Peters, post: 1006813, member: 58139"] A bit of an update: I ran a bottle of Seafoam in and the noise somewhat went away. I can still hear is ever so slightly say merging onto a freeway where I'm between 2 concrete walls. Its noise free but then you will a ping ping, then nothing. Had to do this 3 times for it to act up. I spoke to an independent heavy engine mechanic yesterday evening (neighbor). He says any 4.0l he has worked on you can hear the time chain if you take off the oil cap and place your ear to the spout. Its sounds like a rusty bike chain smacking on metal. I d hear those types of noises or anything which sounds abnormal either the trac either hot or cold. Removing the cable method is a get idea too. With in regards to the fuel pump. The trac wouldn't start one morning. Would turn over, but no fire. Check the fuel pressure and was 0 psi. Classic fuel pump failure. I don't believe the shop removed the negative cable either. But who knows. [/QUOTE]
