Recurring engine noise which is more noticeable during cold weather. Under load the engine , particularly at 2000 RPM, sounds like there is a manifold leak or a valve ticking. I have been to my dealer twice(out of business) and two other dealers three times with no satisfactory results.

The expedition that I have makes an annoying noise at varying speeds. This has been going on for the last 8 months. It was taken to the shop in feb for a noise which ended up being a problem with the rear end.
