That's exactly what i'm hearing...alternator & water pump were replaced by dealer, then suddenly this "noise" introduced itself
Feels like she's lost some low-end torque. Couple questions:
-is this normal wear or could it be a result of the above mentioned install?
-certainly this repair cannot cost $4k, or can it?
-i have a 2 hour road trip this weekend, is it safe to continue driving?
-seems the part #'s are the same for the 4.6is
