Update, I haven't had time to tear into it till today. I checked the flexplate and it is not cracked like Nate's on the WTA intercooler thread. Tomorrow I am going to start it and check the HB for wobble, as I only did a visual. Then, if that checks out, off comes the intake and drivers side...

I'm minutes away from checking my flexplate. I finally found the time to track down my mystery bad noise. I'm glad its your flexplate.

Will, How do you source that TSM online? Google EBay ect... turn up nothing. I'm not searching with right query

Ok, Roller rockers is not in my budget right now, but I'm pulling the valve covers and expect to find a button gone. I've looked everywhere else for a valve chatter noise, and its either injectors or buttons. I have a badly leaking valve cover, so its a reason to fix it. Good luck with your...

Sorry to kinda hijack thread Don, but if there is another thread on that rocker button mod, can someone post a link to it. Thanks.

All this social media makes it hard to keep track of the same person. WW, I don't blame you for not doing FB. I swore I never would, but career change forced it upon me.

I think that's the only thing WW, Leroy and I were talking and I told him to take it off the list. Don, you should see that set on Mon. or Tue. and I have a track # if it doesn't show.

Nope.

Thanks Will, I see the valve cover coming off shortly. It leaks, but not enough to warrant removal till now. I still need to do flexplate exhaust inspection, but no time. Being a 50 year old college student takes all my time. My 07 colorado has evap leak that needs smoking out with my halloween...

Thank you WW. I know new parts mean nothing in todays age.

I'll inspect the flexplate. The starter is new and shields have been checked, will revisit downpipe and maybe crossover gaskets. That rattle comes back at highway speed with no load and then there is a popping noise that is random. The exhaust is not old and will check exhaust manifold studs. At...

Update, I took the belt off and noise remains at 950 rpm and goes away at 1k. I inspected the rubber around the HB and and belt pulley. With carcode I shut each injector off and it ran too rough to rev it up. When turning them on I got clatter each time. I don't know how to get carcode to hold...

I haven't had time to spend any it. Tomorrow I will huck carcode on there to hold it at the Rpm the noise kicks in and determine where the issue is. I'm gonna check the balancer rubber first. Either way your'e gonna get an order for roller rockers, injectors or dampner

The other day while driving home from Boston I heard a different noise coming from the engine bay. I got up the next day and the truck would not start. It needed a starter and is unrelated. At idle, there is no audible difference. Between 900 and 1kRPm there is a clatter and it goes away shortly...

Don, PM me an address and I'll get the timing set out by weeks end. Like WW said, change it out while your'e there

I used a IR temp gun for readings, just cause I had one.

That was a 30 dollar mod that I couldn't justify not doing. Now that air to water intercooler is gonna hurt.

Thank you WW.

You best shot of getting the old one out without breaking is to gently use heat on the housing. Around 230 will soften the red thread sealant if I recall and if its gonna come loose it will. The corrosion is another issue.

I'm on Rockauto and looking at new starters. My choices are Remy Gold or AC Delco Professional. The money is about 15 bucks difference. Is one as good or better than the other. I don't do rebuildsand this is either gonna be a spare or installed. I have an electrical issue with present starter...
