Hello folks:
here is a conundrum. I started my truck last night (30 degrees in NYC), and she fired up with no problems at all. As i parked the truck, I noticed that it was really loud and sounded like a diesel. This concerns me because I spent about 3 grand to rebuild the engine 1500 miles ago. So, I thought it was weird to hear that noise.
I turned off the truck, and then tried to restart it. Dead battery...oh the hits keep comin. In any case, battery replaced. Truck starts fine.
However, the tick tick tick noise is still with me, I am curious if any of you have experienced something like that and what your thoughts may be.
It's at the shop now, and I told the mechanic that since he rebuilt the engine, its basically his problem. Now, I am sure he will try to get some money from me, but I figure I would ask you guys what your thoughts were in order to haggle with him. My gut feeling was that it was a valve, but there was no power loss in the truck at all. She runs great....its just that damn noise.
Any opinions would be appreciated.
