Got5onIt Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 I just noticed this ticking/chatter a few days ago. Is this normal for the 3.5 EB engine? I did a close up on both sides where the noise is most prevalent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpd1151 Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 High Pressure Fuel Pump. Completely normal. Mine's more noticeable because I took that stupid cylndrical piece of sound deadening foam insulation off..... I've heard of one, or two instances where that pump has either failed (due to heat soak) or the foam has literally melted onto the pump itself. Yikes :fear: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Got5onIt Posted May 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 Thanks bpd, for the assurance. I was a little worried as I never noticed it before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjhpadi Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 Thanks, I have heard the tick when I use the drive thru at the bank and that side of the car is closest to the wall and the noise gets bounced back so that it's easier to hear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had all my windows down as I slowly squeaked between both cars and thats when I heard the tick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
