listen for anything but the whine of the blower. oh, and the slight ticking that you will hear is the coil packs, so no worry there.

Congrats bro!:thumbsup:

The first thing I would do is change the plugs or at the least make sure that they are all tight.

Look for rubber chunks or debris under the rear wheel wells, that will help tell you if it's been beat on by doing line lock burnouts. Also look for noises or vibrations at certain speeds. I personally will not except a vehicle with any cigarette burns in the interior, but if you're a smoker, you might not care about that!

haha, The whole ride home I was wondering what that ticking was :p No rubber under the rear wheels, A slight vibration at around 65 mph, taking it in tomorrow to have the wheels re rebalanced. I will definitely check the spark plugs, what are the torque specs for them? Pics Incoming :rockon:

Bro, if your hearing ticking in the passengers compartment I wouldn't drive it another foot until I checked the plugs to make sure they are tight. The injectors shoudn't be loud enough to hear inside the truck.

I forget the torque spec on the plugs, but do a search and you should be able to find that #.

I'd just be to nervous about shooting a plug. Repairing it can be crazy cash.
