anyone know 6.2's ?

got a funny ticking noise in my 1009. under light load it sounds like a ticking exhaust manifold leak but its not. Under highway speeds it quiets down. IP timing is right on the money, all cylinders fire. IP is only less than a year old. Any ideas?

May not be it, but check and make sure your air filter housing is tight. They are known to cause stange noises. Along with the throttle cable. It shouh clip to the side of the housing.

Did you check the flexplate? It could be cracked or some of the torque converter bolts might be loose.

check your CDR valve.. if the rubber has worn out in it that will also make it ticking noise like that. does it make this noise at idle or only when driving... if it does not make the noise in park you can almost rule out engine and search else where... if it makes it at idle paked just get out the long screw driver and pin point it

great idea's, I'll try them all. I'm sure the air filter is tight, been through that!! I will check the CDR.

forgot, it does not make the noise at idle, only at fast idle and when under light load, 25mph or so

I have a similar thread going with no luck on this noise too. My injection pump is 25 years old, but does the same thing. Especially during cornering from a stop. Somebody suggested it could be an injector line touching something like the firewall, which would make a similar noise, but I haven't found anything touching yet.

I have a clicking noise that is not present at idle and is present under motion. Mine has a squeak assoaciated with it and is the spedo cable. I just need someone to inject some grease into the cable but have been too lazy to do so. Just another potential source

I'm familiar with the problem. It means your stereo is not loud enough....or you dont have one.
