I'm sorry to hear about the issues you're experienceing Raptor. Hopefully your dealer can get you all taken care of. As far as TSB information I haven't found anything on this issue as of yet but you never know if your dealer might have something I do not. I hope you get back on the road soon! Please keep us updated.

[QUOTE=Raptor626;3235913]Hey chandler I made a video of my car, see if you can pinpoint the noise, it makes it a few times throughout the video.

Also is that whining from the alternator area normal?

Hey Raptor!

Listened to your vid and I don't hear the same type of noise that I am experiencing. I tried the same thing the other night with my camera and it really amplified the wind from the fan so I am going to try another camera when I get a chance. The noise from your alternator area sounds like the power steering pump to me. Have you checked the fluid level in the unit?

Hey man, no the only thing I'ce checked was te oil level since the car only has 950mi on the clock. However, I was told that the whining noise is normal simply due to proximity to the camera's mic. Plus, the whining doesn't get any worse when I turn the wheel, so that appears to be normal.

I have an appointment for next Wednesday with the dealer, so fingers crossed. Let me know how it goes bud.

So it appears that I need a new crank pulley. My dealer ordered it today and it should be here within a week.

So the dealer installed a new pulley and it still wobbles a little but I'm told that's normal. Anyway, the that noise is still there Chandler and I couldn't duplicate it at the dealer because the engine was already hot by the time I got there. However, the mechanic told me that if it doesn't get louder with increase in rpm then it's not that big a deal. So it looks like I'll just live with it until it causes a problem or until the engine has enough mileage on it for me to drop in a 427

Good luck chandler
