So for quite some time now I notice a random ticking type noise coming from the engine. I just assumed the valve lash needed adjusted. Today I decided to actually find where the noise is coming from. I only hear it when it's idling on the outside of the truck. I used my stethoscope and probed around. Took me a while to actually find where it is the loudest. I thought maybe a cracked flex plate or loose convertor bolt. It seems that I hear the noise when I put my stethoscope on the heat shield under the turbo that protects the engine mount. When I put it directly on the engine everything sounds normal. Engine sounds very healthy everywhere I checked. But this heat shield... I don't get it. The bolts are tight, the heat shield isn't touching anything. Anybody else have this noise or maybe know what could be the cause?
Off topic... I did a t-case service today. My truck is equipped with the Borg Warner 44-46. The fluid cost me $39 per litre. The parts guy was nice enough to drop the price to $35 per litre x 2 litres. That is definitely the most expensive fluid I have ever bought.
I also bought a grease needle adapter and greased my front driveshaft that has clearly never ever been done by the dealer before since there was 0 signs of any grease on the fitting.
