Did you notice this noise when you first bought it or did it take a while before it started making that noise. I am just wondering because I think mine was built in that time.

I noticed it about 2 months after I bought it. It only done it about once every week or so. Then it started doin it more often. Now it does it just about every day. But it's not a constant noise. It only does it for a few minutes about every time the car is warming up..

ticking coming from the engine bay--first they gave me a CND (could not duplicate, for us F-16 folks)--then second time around, they heard it but couldn't figure out what it was. I'll have them check into this again. Also, if I don't hold my clutch for 5+ seconds before shifting into reverse, it grinds into gear--may have them check into that as well. The manager there is really cool, so I don't see him boning me over it. Paid cash for the car, and get all of my modifications installed there (minus oil changes--only the best (Royal Purple) for my beast, so if there's anything wrong, I'm sure they'll do what it takes to make it perfect.
Thanks a TON for the info, fr33k! You're a godsend. Would you be able to pm me my assembly line number (like #500 out of 10,000 or whatever were made, etc)?
I agree, this thread should be stickied or thrown up on the main page with maybe a link to where to find our build dates, etc. I would love to know every available statistic on my car.

The dealership where I work is goin to do the work. I'm good friends with the service manager and the main tech. I help them out alot and they help me. So far, as long as I worked here, I have NEVER paid for any work or paid for oil changes on any of my vehicles I've owned. The mighty power of the pencil. hehe.
