Hey all, I've got one I can't figure out and would definately appreciate some thoughts and feedback. I've got a 98 5L V8 XLT AWD. The problem is that when I am in Drive and hit the gas I get a clicking noise, sounds like a loose belt but I'm not 100% sure. The sound is worse when the engine is cold, starting out from a stop or going up a hill. It is NOT the serpentine belt as that was the first thing I replaced... plus I only hear it when in Drive and on the gas. Also, it seems to go away when I get into the higher gears and lessens(but never goes away completely) when the car warms up...
Any ideas please, I'm looking for a starting point and hoping I can handle the repair myself(with the Haynes of course)??
Thanks, Matt
