Jeep pic

Here is one of the jeep...not actually mine but must be the clone :rofl:

 

The ticking from underside sounds like a leak in the exhaust or the exhaust manifold, seeing that it was not there until the work was done. Hate to say it but you are another subject of marketing BS, and those 2 mods are just noisemakers and a waste of money. Ask anyone who's installed and removed them; the Hemi runs worse than stock, with loss of low end torque and very poor tip in throttle response. Been there done that with Magnaflow and AFE II, now have stock intake and exhaust back on, and it drives far better, without all the racket. If you want real mods that do something, get a ported TB, catch can, and CMR tuned Diablosport Intune. My 5.7 has 86k and runs SO much better now than it did new, there is no comparison; best 0-60 logged at 5.2, with stock intake and exhaust.
Also, DO NOT flush the Trans, just change the filters and the fluid. The Trans Dr is not the right place, just go to the dealer. You only need to change the fluid every 100k if it is normal street driving.

 

This guy know what he is talking about. It has been proven engines run worse with cai. However I flushed my tranny with no complaints. I know people are against it but mine didn't have any problems and that was many miles ago.

 

Mine, does the same thing. I always just assumed it was the "hemi tick". But I also have the stock exhaust and intake.

 

I am really not liking the sound. I might have to change it back lol. I like the sound of the exhaust minus the tick noise.

I'm really not hearing a lot of air noise when I'm driving.

The next thing I am trying to get is the lift. Anyone used or got any info on the springs that Rustys Offroad makes like the OME springs?

 

Welcome,

Could be hemi tick that is now louder because of your CAI. You would be surprised how much engine noise those stock air boxes muffle. My TJ's firewall mod got so loud I actually discovered internal issues and had her rebuilt. This guy said he cured his hemi tick a bit using seafoam. Wouldn't hurt to try this to rule it out.

As for a lift, earlier this month Camp was selling his OME HD without the shocks. Not sure if its still avaliable. You can get the shocks from Kolak.

I tried the seafoam last night in the oil. Going to give it a day or two and then oil change. Hopefully it will correct the issue. If not I will try it again. I will be cleaning the throttle body and intake tonight with the seafoam... Don't know how much it will smoke but we will see lol!

Pulled the throttle body off last night and it was DIRTY!!!!

 

So here is the throttle body after I cleaned it. Man that stuff does an awesome job! I also used some Seafoam in the intake so I got a little bit of smoke. My wife took the picture as she was standing in the cloud lol...

 

Has anyone taken off the intake manifold and cleaned it? I want to do that next and I can maybe take a look at the cylinder heads from the intake pots. I am concerned because there is the metal cross bar right above the engine...Any body have any advise on how I can do this?
