"Some customers may comment on an SES light, engine misfire on cylinder 1, 4, 6, or 7, and/or tick noise. This may be the result of an AFM lifter that unlocks as soon as the engine is started or one that is mechanically collapsed/stuck all of the time." #4 is kinda in that area. swap everything back and see if it goes away. if it wasn't there before and it is now its something that you did.

he prolly read the switch that had the correct spelling on it. thats what threw you two off.

3/36 3 feet or 36 seconds which ever comes first.

so bashful. http://www.seeklogo.com/images/B/Bashful-logo-436A0DC75C-seeklogo.com.gif

why was this thread locked?

shocker, hang enough parts and one of them will fix it. most GM dealers 1 hour labor which is about $88 plus tax, shop supplies, ect. if you want i can do it next week sometime for $50.

you'll give me $60 to pick it up? ok.

Bulletin No.: 05-06-02-004 Date: April 06, 2005 TECHNICAL Subject: Underhood Tick Noise at Idle (Reprogram PCM) Models: 2004 Buick Rainier 2002-2004 Chevrolet TrailBlazer Models 2002-2004 GMC Envoy Models 2002-2004 Oldsmobile Bravada Condition Some customers may comment on an underhood tick noise heard while the vehicle is idling. Technicians may find that the noise does not increase or decrease with changes in the engine idle RPM. The tick noise occurs at approximately one second intervals. Cause This condition may be caused by the electro-viscous fan clutch control function of the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) attempting to keep the fan speed between 300-600 revolutions per minute (RPM). At idle, the cooling fan speed will drag to approximately 500 RPM then oscillate between 300 and 600 RPM. When the fan speed drops below 500 RPM, the PCM will pulse the fan control solenoid. The pulsing of the solenoid is the cause of the ticking noise.

If the ticking noise goes away, the pulsing of the cooling fan clutch is the source of the noise. ^The cooling fan clutch electrical connector, located on the cooling fan shroud, may be disconnected with the engine off. If the ticking noise goes away, the pulsing of the cooling fan clutch is the source of the noise. Be sure to clear any Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) that may have set while the cooling fan clutch is disconnected. Technicians are to reprogram the PCM with an updated software calibration. The new software calibration is currently available in TIS for all the vehicles listed above.

its the fan clutch relay. has the pcm been reprogramed like i told you a few weeks ago?

shouldn't have been a cheep skate and bought my board:p

i wish it was that much. for everyone that wants to know more about this stuff. http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/7075424-post47.html

also that half pound extra weight per wheel is like adding 8.8 lbs rotating inertia per wheel. or about 35lbs to the car. lol

i like them. get black lug nut covers.

well ok. there is currently no rear axle or front spindles on the car so it may be tuff, i can put a box in that you can sit on and make vroom vroom noises while i watch though lol.

takes a bit to see the rest of the forum, just hang in there.

you can tell with a dial indacator taking the rockers off and measuring lift when turning the engine over. i wonder if you having a lifter collaps on you, that would cause all these issues. does the engine have alot of ticking that lasts more than a few mins when started?

i've seen cams wipe in less than 30k. sometimes there just isn't anything you could have done to prevent it. just replace the cam and lifters. its an easy job thats cheeper than a 6.0L swap.

correction, i am getting these insted but they have been upgraded to the light weight series insted! http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/ProdigyCustoms/PARTS/MatteBlackWC3.jpg

well these are not the series i wanted but for the price i paid i am happy with them. they are a race wheel so they are 3 lbs lighter than the standard wheels. they will look good on my car no matter what color i make it. should have them in 3-4 weeks. http://www.forgeline.com/product_images/product_photo-xlarge_image-39.jpg

quick which ones? both are 3 piece forgeline. these with matte black center. there are the lighter of the two http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/ProdigyCustoms/PARTS/SilverZX3R.jpg or these http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/ProdigyCustoms/PARTS/MatteBlackWC3.jpg

had 2, got bored. sold bike to finish camaro. just sell your junk and get an ls1 car and be happy.
