[QUOTE="CzchMex, post: 13656761, member: 127406"] Ticking or any kind of knocking noise. It always gets worse. Purchased mine and knew everything about 5.0s but not 4.6s. Guy selling it told me the slight tick was a pulley and it sounded like it came from it. So I purchased anyway. Didn't know it was going to be a timing component which would turn into a top engine rebuild…..go figure. Now I learned. So if you hear any ticking, it's usually around $800+ to fix if you get it done right. Also make sure the Check Engine light turns on when you first turn the key to ignition. I never realized that my previous owner REMOVED the bulb to make the light work. He told me it never threw any codes. Bull $#!^. I found out 6 months later changing my bulbs to LEDs…. So if you can take a OBD scanner and read the codes and make sure they are clear if he/she says they pass. Because I now have to "payoff" my inspection…. Hope these help [/QUOTE]
