Plugs are over due and I am searching the tic/diesel sound. I think K the phasers are going although not gone and I have a strange tix/tap I can hear at low rpm while driving through my neighborhood. I've talked to a few people and they believe it may be stuck lash adjusters. Buying them cause he's gonna check them while he's in there. Better to spend 250 in parts than fix all of that and it not be any better. It's 400 just to open it up.

That diesel is distinct.. I had it twice.. Changed oil to 10w30 and no issues since... We'll always have the injector ticking..

Oil change made no difference for me. I got my taxes back so figured I'd drop some coin in the ole girl. I plan on having it for a good long while. I believe it may be bad lifters but can't tell, so I figured while it's open spend the money.

Thanks. Wasn't crazy about it when I bought it but it has come together nicely. I wouldn't take it any other way now. Love that the tan breaks up all the black.

A few new things. Got the lights from a local LED dealer http://www.swampdonkeylighting.com/s..._Products.html switches from ottram. Hopefully will have them wired to work by Saturday. I am doing a 3 way switch to be auto on with reverse, on manual with switch, and off. Wiring like this is not my strong suit so we'll see how it goes.

I really like those flush mount lights.
