I know, the beloved 6.2 is such a nice smooth running and quiet engine that we never hear any noises unless our ear is next to a valve cover and we make sure it is actually on since we can't always tell by just standing at the front of the truck.
Be that as it may. I replaced an IP in a vehicle belonging to another addict today. I didn't prime the IP or crack any lines. I just cranked for 10 seconds, let it sit for at least 20 minutes and repeat. (It is over 100° outside today and around 98° in my shop. I have no problem walking inside the a/c for 20 mintues on a day like this.) It fired up at "9-one thousand" on the 5th try.
The engine is smoother than before and much better than my 1009 at idle. While I was using a light to check for leaks under the intake on those very frustrating line connections. (of course, one of them has a drip to be dealt with later in the cool of the night) I kept hearing a "tinkle, tinkle" sound that was very regular. This is a M1010 and has the big A6 a/c compressor over on the drivers side and the noise seemed to be coming from there. Since I had removed the rear mount bracket for it, that was my first look over. That wasn't it. Finally found it at the power steering pump and ran to shut the truck off.
Attached is a photo showing the bolt behind the pulley worked all the way out so it can vibrate against the pulley. Anybody that has read the CUCV forum on here knows that CUCV ps pump bolts and brackets break pretty regular. While resting my arms from what seems like a permanent leaning rest required to work on the IP earlier, I had seen the ps belt was loose and found a missing ps mount bolt under the a/c compressor. I don't have that size metric bolt here at the house and don't plan to drive the truck until I get one. I didn't even think to look for the bolt under the pulley.
That is why I am writting this. If while listening to your "dryer full of lawnmower parts" idle in its own quiet way you hear a pretty regular tinking sound. Check your power steering pump mounts and anything near a pulley.

) You and Dave should take a trip up here some time.
