pinging noise - 4/23/2007 4:03:08 PM    mackshawnd Posts: 24 Joined: 4/22/2007 Status: offline Is it common to have a pinging noise when my disco warms up and cools down? Ive also noticed the noise occasionally when the vehicle is in operation. One more thing...when I turn my key to the 3 position to start my disco there is a winding out sound after it started. Strange? I dont know. Post #: 1

As for the starting noise, is it coming from the starter, like the bendix gear hanging up up a second or two? Mike (in reply to mackshawnd) Post #: 2

I guess im not sure what a cheap gas ping sounds like... (in reply to mackshawnd) Post #: 3

RE: pinging noise - 4/24/2007 11:06:16 AM    Disco Mike Posts: 10365 Joined: 4/27/2006 Status: offline Are you hearing an internal engine noise, maybe low oil pressure related? 2003's have been know for oil pump issues and loosing engine because of it. If there is any possibility of this to be happening, I would get the truck in the shop ASAP and I would suggest you buy an extended warranty before your factory warranty expires. Granted, there may be something else going on but you had better look into it quickly. Mike (in reply to mackshawnd) Post #: 7

This is most obvious when shes warming up or cooling off. I just started to hear this noise while shes in operation. And its very slight. Ive always had lousy vehicles so maybe Im freaking out over nothing? (in reply to Disco Mike) Post #: 8
