[QUOTE="boyitgobob, post: 1384753, member: 86780"] Hi, Im looking at another 2004 (62K) to replace my totaled 04. Me being a bottom feeder, this one has a low price plus a lot of cosmetic issues that dont faze me too much, but one mechanical that Im not certain about. It makes a clattering noise at idle that sounds like a Diesel engine. Sounds nice and smoooth as revs are increased above idle. Ive read the stickies on both CCTs and Tickers (listened to audio ticker files) and I dont think its a ticker. I didnt have a stethoscope with me to isolate exactly where the sound was eminating, as seller didnt mention a noisy idle. My question is: does a noisy cam chain sound similar to a Diesel engine? Id have to hear it again, but I dont think its a bottom end issue. Your help can save me another trip to check this out. Thanks, Bob [/QUOTE]
