Problem solved!!!? I am keeping my car after all.

The noise comes from a faulty Cam Chain Tensioner, which was recommended by the FSE to be replaced.? My car runs like a charm now.

Thanks for all your help

WOW.

Very good news! Congrats!
This is the one thing I hate the most, when a dealer is telling you that you are a liar. They don't know your car as good as you, so they should believe in what you tell them!
What did your dealer said after all?

I'm just glad you are not leaving the family!

I did not want to rub-in with the dealer. After all, I still need them down the road. My Service Advisor was very glad that my problems were solved too. The whole job took 2 solid days because they had to un-mount the engine to access the tensioner. It would have to be authorized by the FSE in order for the dealer to offer this kind of major repair anyways.

I just hope they will remember the next time you have a problem that they can't BS you!

I'm glad the problem is solved and your truck now sounds like a sports sedan!
