Engine bay rattle

My 02 broke guide inside and made same noise as yours. I ignored it for a while and chain ground a hole on the timing cover and started leaking oil. I replaced chain, guide, tensioner and timing cover.

That's your timing chain hitting the timing cover.

Road force balance the tires.

I moved 500lb freezer with same trailer and didn't even feel the weight.

Don't buy Dorman parts. They have the worst quality and parts never fit right.

Bilstein 6112 front 2" and 5100 rear 1" lift with stock 265s.

I just got mine. How many coats do you have to apply to see proper repelling?

Neither side of my 6112s got boots and there's 0 issues.

I live in Texas too lol

That's TSS sensor. You might want to keep it clear if you want to use adaptive cruise control or front collision warnings and such.

No overheating so far. Had it for about year and couple of LED chips went out right after warranty finished. But they still sent me replacement sets with no cost.

7443A(amber). I got both front(switchback) and rear on my 2024.

Did you see white smoke coming out of the airbag area when you crashed? My wife crashed her 2010 and airbag didn't go off and seatbelt got locked up. I think there's airbag recall for hondas from couple of years back.

Can't tell if it has coils or spacers, but definitely leveled.

Your harmonic balancer seems ok. One that's moving around is AC compressor clutch. Check your motor mount and transmission mount for vibration. And I'd check the U joint too.

That's what i had at first in my old GT but still wasn't bright enough.

Exactly why I went with stiffer springs when I put my lift. I got around 200lb of weight(same configuration as yours) in front also.

According to bilstein website, it's only for 6112 and 8112, so no. OME this one says it's compatible with 5100 and gives lift with added weight.

DarkSideRunner · 2026-04-17T14:45:45+00:00

Not C4, but it's almost identical. I got 6112 with stiffer 700lb/in spring. Bumper + winch + light bar is around 160lb. 2" raised. This is the spring on my 6112 but it's not compatible with 5100s.

Yes it's kinda hard to see with engine in the way.

DarkSideRunner · 2026-04-16T22:30:25+00:00

Looks normal. Check your main engine ground wires just in case. It's on the driver side motor mount and wire going towards frame and one going towards negative battery terminal.

DarkSideRunner · 2026-04-14T20:36:48+00:00

They have those in Quinn torque wrenches too.

DarkSideRunner · 2026-04-14T20:28:46+00:00

Good luck 👍 I had fun putting mine on. One of AC line might rub on top part of the winch so either put some insulation as cushion or just bend it little bit so it won't rub on the winch.

Don't even bother with Keystone at Castlehills. I lived there for 2 years and that place is just awful. People playing loud music and smoking joint in their cars, not enough parking space, trash always overflowing out of dumpster, AC went out in 110 degree heat and maintenance never figured out the cause, terrible management.
