Mystery Noise Found!!!!

i am so happy to report that my mystery noise has been found after many maddening searches!! it seems that at certain times under certain conditions at various geometries, the cold side intake tube for the CAC was rubbing against the airbox that sits underneath the location of the map senor area. This was sennding a rattling and vibration noise thru the firewall and into the cab that was very difficult to trace!! as it was not consistent as to when it would happen!! Problem has now been solved and i must thank Brandon for listening to me whine through several phonecalls and helping point me in the right direction!!

thanks for following up on the solution to your problem. That helps a bunch. I hate not knowing how people's problems are resolved.

Reps to Brandon - if I can ever do them again...

Good work. I had also a noise that was hard to track down. Found it was the pipe tapping against the power steering bolt. It ever so slightly cracked the pipe and that was when i did the foil delete.
