mine has a whistle at 2k rpms, nothing before or after that mark. They replaced my alternator but it didnt fix the problem. They actually asked me if I was sure if it hadnt been doing it since I got it but just didnt know it

I got the lifetime warranty so Im not worried. Hope that it is just the alternator for you

Well the new engine is in! I must have been driving a crippled engine since I bought it, because there is a significant power increase over what I had. It runs better now then the old engine did with a 93 octane tune, and I haven't even retuned it yet... I always hear about how much our 3.8's are underpowered, so I guess I didn't know any better.

Iv still got the exhaust rattle though. Time to play "Whats that noise" again!
