#1 Well, noticed a tick coming from the backside of the pass. valve cover, has been there several thousand miles, always thought it was injector noise, but it seemed to be more distinct today.
#2 I had a sort of a hesitation/surging and about 15-20 mph at part steady throttle that I attributed to needing to replace the fuel filter, but I think I felt it again today after I replaced the fuel filter.
#3 Someone told me the exhaust sounded ragged/tired. I thought it's the way a full 4" straight pipe would sound exiting in front of the rear tire, but he said it sounds different. It is only noticeable at idle and part-throttle...I noticed that it sounds like it has some sort of a rasping almost clicking sound but I thought it was just resonance from it being low airspeed in that big ***** pipe. It sounds fine a full throttle, but I heard someone mention it could be a collapsed lifter (which would explain the ticking sound in the exhaust and valve cover).
#4 At 206k miles, is there any mechanical maintainence needed such as valvetrain tightening or adjustment? I've had the truck since 178k and have had zero problems with the engine.
If it helps to diagnose, this truck only went 16.4 in the 1/4 with the mods in the sig (sound right?)
Thanks in advance,
Jesse
