The shop never could hear any unusual noises after I dropped the X off, presumably due to the weather warming up since cold temps seemed to trigger the noise. They did...

Mine makes the noise if it's cold (as in the 30's or colder) and it does it right away. It will still make the noise after the engine is warmed up, just more subdued. Sounds like a "muted diesel". I...

From what I've read, it sounds like classic timing chain and ramps. Combined with the mileage (114K), I'm betting that's it. I was hoping someone on here could either confirm or give me other...
