Hello,
I have a 2003 XLT 2WD that recently (last few weeks) started making a sound that happens as motor is warming, but does not rise with RPM's and is intermittent. If I had to try and explain it, it sounds like when metal expands, it "pops" and appears to come from underneath near where the motor and trans meet. I cannot pin point it exactly, but it has begun to happen more often and everytime I start after the motor has cooled. I am no rookie when it comes to working on vehicles, but this is baffling me and I wanted to ask other owners if anyone has experienced this. Again, it sounds like someone has taken a hammer or something metalic and hit the CAST metal.
Any ideas?
