Hi Bernd,
>> Check to see if the factory installed the rubber mounts on the tailgate.
<<
Yep, they're there. But the latch still comes right out of adjustment.
Have you ever adjusted yours yourself? I'd hate to make it a weekend chore
to every weekend adjust my latch again, but that may become necessary.
Nobody so far has done anything to fix the bed - just the latch. And (guess
what?!) it comes right back out of adjustment! ;-)
>> Take it to two different dealers and have them just listen to it. (It's
that second opinion option that we all have.) <<
I will do that if the first guys don't find it. The ticking is the new
problem. But from other posts, I'm a lot less worried about it now.
>> Injectors will normally "click" a little bit right from the start. If
you don't hear them...they could be dirty. The clicking noise gets quieter
when there's buildup on the seats (or discs...depending on injector type).
<<
I'll run fuel injector cleaner through mine just in case. I doubt that's
it, since it should get quieter, but it's good practice anyways, and I've
done it a few time before to keep them clean.
>> Try to stay with a set of normal (low impedance) wires (again, MSD,
SplitFire, Taylor, and Magnecore)...also, if you have any desire to run an
MSD box in the near future, stay away from the platinum plugs. (The
SplitFire worked fine even with my MSD setup, but they're not recommended.
Stick to the regular plugs.) <<
What does an MSD box do for me - change timing or just produce a better
spark? Does this make a noticeable improvement in response and
accelleration? And are they expensive? I was going to work on the handling
or the air first, but since it's making noises and they're probably
spark-related...
>> Flushed and replaced with Vegetable Oil...Wesson or Mazola? (Gotta keep
the cholesterol down on our already fit engines!) ;) <<
I asked for the Wesson; better texture. :-)
Thanks!
