Do you have the aem intake, the techs clipped on a sensor wrong on my and it would make a ____ing noise when braking or taking off. I had to clip it on right to get it to stop.

mine does it also, but it comes and goes....i think part of it is the type of road you happen to be on at the time and it also seems to do it when the engine is not fully warmed up...

did you guys get lo-jack? Maybe when they installed it they didn't put it in a good location and it is rattling on something else. I know that they installed mine somewhere behind the dash and used double sided tape to anchor it down.

Rattle/Tick in the Cowl Louver area, which is directly behind the speedo. Be safe and have your dealership do all of the rattle fixes provided in the TSB PDF, you should be set.

there is a TSB open for that rattle, go to ur dealer to get it fixed. also, if ne one heres a rattle from their air vents, the two located on either side of the cd player, there is a TSB on that as well....all they do in these cases is put lining around ne nuts/bolts to stop the rattling...nothing major,very easy to do urself

I thought it was just my box making noise. Did someone say that it would be covered under warranty for them to check out rattles? I am almost to the point of pulling the dash out and finding it myself. I can't stand it, always between 2000-4000rpm regardless if it is warmed up or not. Help is appreciated.

I looked for the T.S.B. but had no luck. I think when I take it in for the oil change I will have them check it out. The rattle is driving me nuts, it must die :twisted:
