Engine refinement
I have an 03 Navigator and when I accelerate there are two types of noise that don't seem right and make the truck less refined than I think it should be.
1. There is a sort of rattling noise deep within the engine "sounds like a bag of nails" thought it might be a bearing issue but at 30,000 miles seems unlikely
2. The other noise I think may have been designed in which is a sort of intake roar when accelerating. Sounds overly loud as if engine is working much harder than the speedometer is indicating. I think it is to give an impression of power but I find it a pain compared to other luxury trucks I have tested
Any thoughts on these two items and has anyone driven an 05 model and if so how does it compare?

2. May be related to #1 ... try some High-Test and see.

As for the intake noise I know what you mean.
