Glad to hear it. Ream the SOB who messed up the timing belt install.

 

Blakjak,

Have no fear, my displeasure will be known with impecable clarity!!!

 

Had same problem on mine...I finally found out that it was the crankshaft pulley(harmonic balancer) the inner most pulley is bolted together to the outer 2 pulleys. The inner one has a rubber insulator which wears out and causes the pulley to separate. Hope this helps...

 

my truck has ticked since i bought it at 52k miles. what kind of tick are you guys describing here?? i think mine maybe the fuel injectors. BUT when i use a 5w30 in synthetic i hear it but when i put in like a thick 10w30 in dino it quiets it down some.. go figure.


-- so when i have my timing belt done next week or so do i need to ask them to do a timing test to make sure it was done right bc you know they will only go by the timing notch like most people do. what do you guys think?
