I dont know if the mic will pick it up but I'll definitely try tomorrow morning. Will report back.

Thats what I would expect. Higher rpms to compensate. It feels like my engine wants to stall for 3-5 seconds before rpms raising back to normal. This is what leads me to think the worst. Thanks for the reply.

I have a 2-hour trip planned tomorrow so I'll keep my eye on it. Yea when I start in the morning it sounds like the car is bogging down for 3-5 seconds. Like if it was going to stall. Is that what you mean by slight rpm fluctuation? The mechanic who helped me do the job is 800 miles away lol...

Updates. Well Hello everyone. Here is the update on my situation. This morning started the car and the same hesitation was there so it wasnt a fluke (much to my dismay). I used a combustion leak tester and the results were negative. No exhaust gasses are present (apparently). This is what...

I did have that symptom last time. It sounded like a waterfall when starting about 2 out 3 times a day. I have not experienced that symptom as yet. I'll be listening with inclined ears tomorrow morning.

It would be a great relief.

I'll be checking this out. When I tested the coolant in the past when the HG originally blew the test came back negative lol. I hope I dont get a false negative. I have some trips coming up and I dont want a blown HG while I'm in the middle of nowhere.

I actually have a test at home from the last time I was diagnosing the HG leak so I plan on doing that asap. I thought of the air bubble theory. Trust me i'm not skeptical of any thoery per se but I shelved this one momentarily because its been 30k miles since I did everything. Would an air...

Hello, fellow 4th gen lovers. This has been a crap morning after some recent developments. I changed my Head gaskets, water pump, radiator, hoses, seals, distributor coils, plugs, and basically anything I could touch on the way to getting to the gaskets. I also had a reputable shop check the...

Same boat I had the exact symptoms on my 2004. Eventually, I got a misfire going home one night and I decided not to drive her anymore until I got the Head Gaskets done. I didn't want to warp my heads beyond repair. I replaced mine at 170k. Hoping to get another 150k out of her lol

Same boat Just noticed it this evening while waiting outside a publix for the family. I dont too much about the trucks history so I dont know whats been changed. Mine happens when the compressor engages as well then I hear a faint hiss/whistle. Like my truck is telling someone to come hither...

For sure. I posted it today and made sure I put it on there. I'm prepared for the low ball offers lol. It is what it is.

Sounds reasonable to be. Love this forum. Thanks man

Point taken.

Yeah man. Head gasket going is actually a well known issue for years 03-05. Head gasket was redesigned in 06. I would like to sell it but I feel bad selling it to another 4R lover and them not know about the HG problem.
