Thanks Frank.. Just listening to the TC (which I hope is what's making the noise) is scary.. It may just be me, but it sure seems to be getting louder lately.. I'll find out in about 6 hours when I begin my journey.. Hopefully my next post will be from Branson Missouri ..

Gregg, try to get some sleep so your not so tired driving . I wish I was making the trip with you, It's a long drive all by yourself.
I hope to hear from you in Branson. The TC will make it.
I'll be up all night with my dog, he got attacked earlier by a huge dog. I saved his life for sure. I would rather hand my money to Brian, than the vet in the morning....
Have a safe trip, keep a cold Mountain Dew handy.
You lucky devil you....

Its just in your head. I thought the same thing for months when mine was rattling. once I stopped thinking about it, it seemed to be quieter.
Now that I have a new TC, I hear other things that I couldn't hear before. I think I have a loud injector now....but when it goes it goes. worrying wont fix it.
Your tc will be locked most of the trip, so It should be quiet for you.

Thanks guys..

I'm headed to bed now Frank.. I'm taking my dad with me, since I really didn't want to go that far alone.. I'm not sure yet if this was a good idea.. as my dad likes to I'm sure my trip will start with.. " I woke up at 2:03, turned on the coffee pot at 2:05, went to the bathroom at 2:10, had my first cup of coffee at 2:18.. ate 3 chocolate donuts & an english muffin at 2:26.....

I hope your dog is ok. I just took a call at work yesterday where a pitbull was attacking a ****zu.. that kinda stuff really does make you mad..

I have the cooler loaded with Mt Dew.. I'm good to go.. But I doubt i'll sleep much tonite Ok, catch everyone later.. time to try & get some

Back in the spring I thought i was going to be making that same trip under the same conditions,I called and Brian diagnosed over the phone that the problem was intercooler boots.He saved me alot of money,which I was very happy about but I was kinda looking forward to a trip to 4R100 mecca.Let us know how it turns out.
