Thanks Robert sounds like a plan for Saturday...after the Dyno. Did not realize we could get around behind your house??

Duallydog - What did you get? Maybe we can install at the dyno, before you get on the rollers?

BigredBSC - Get your FASS & Boost Fooler installed?

I plan on getting to Speedtek early... whenever the event is starting? Breakfast on the way down - anybody want to meet up on 183 in Irving/Euless area?

Yep, it is just undeveloped light commercial property right now. Probably about 10-15 acres and they just mowed it with a brush hog. In the back part there are some trees etc.......that could probably set up just like Sedalia and not even know the difference... uhhh....MFD might have a problem with an open flame though (especially with BrIan the "I make fire" guy there..).

In the evening my house provides plenty of shade for the driveway. If yall want burgers I have a small grill.

Too bad we still don't have a place to meet on Friday, I'd be there right after work so I could get some supervisory advice on how to do this and that. (along with the FASS, I've got oil to put in the transmission and differential, I think Brian has enough intimate experience with this kind of stuff on a NV-5600 )
I'm thinking if I can get everything done soon enough I can get on the rollers and haul butt for Stephenville for graduation.

OK, re-change of plans, how late will the event go? I'll at least be able to meet ya'll at Robert's. The graduation is at 9am and I'll head that way when we're done here.

Whew had some catch up reading to do... Worked all weekend trying to recoup some funds from my failed attempt of getting rid of clicking sound!! Slowly running out of parts to replace!!

Kinda sucks that I just dropped that dough to replace non-clicking parts with new non-clicking parts! Oh well at least I know bearings should be good for another 135k!

May have to drive up and down Robert's street with somebody at each corner and DuallyDog hanging on underneath to figure out what the heck this click is all about.... My ideas are running out...

-Clicks
-More pronounced when turning slightly to the right
-Less pronounced when turning slightly to the left
-Ticks Brian off whenever window is down and slow speed... (stacks, engine and tires tend to drown clicking out above 30ish)

You did both bearings & U-joints.. and it did not solve noise??
It is an rpm click...right?
Did you check the most obvious first?.... Nail in the tire?

HUH...very basic quesiton i forgot to ask when this first started....

Does the noise go away when you softly ride the brakes? It might be a warped rotor, or caliper clicking....Dodges...well Chrysler…..are not known for the quality of brakes....very noisy......i worked on a Jeep a few years back..and the caliper was rattling on the mount. The noise went away when brakes were applied.....

ALSO....center caps of the wheels....i know you have Welds...but have you tried to pull the centers and ran without them to see if that might be the issue?

Will try the brake idea here in a bit... Not sure

Removed all center caps and tried that as well... Still Clicky
