Okay... So when I start the truck there's what sounds like an exhaust leak from the passenger side. At first it sounds like an exhaust leak combined with slight belt squeal but then the squeal goes away almost immediately and then it just sounds like a leak for a few more seconds and then goes away completely (until the next time the truck is started)... and it seems to be a bit worse when started cold. I'll see if I can record it when it stops raining.
It's not an exhaust leak and it's not a spark plug about to go. All the belts have been checked and so have the pulleys. I thought it might've been the a/c compressor clutch pak but its not. I then thought it might've been the starter bendix or something but again the starter is fine. Now with a steth I think I have it narrowed down to the timing chain vicinity. Someone mentioned that it could be the timing chain tensioner if its operated by oil pressure. I'm stumped though... so any ideas??? :shrug:
