The information came from pulling OASIS on a 2004 XLT 4x4 SCrew built 4/2004 and searching the symptom categories. OASIS pulls VIN specific info as well as TSBs, SSMs (like posted) and recall info. Something that a dealership or Ford, Lincoln, Mercury employee could do for instance.

On-Line Automotive Service Information System (OASIS) is what the dealer pulls when you bring your vehicle in - gives them all the detailed specific info. It's a Ford internal site - not open to the general public.

What the difference between this noise and the injectors working? Mine sounds the same hot or cold and the engine itself is dead quiet except you can hear the injectors clicking and you have to pay close attention to even hear those..
