I hope not! I do have a noticable tick from from #7 or 8. Whichever one is furthest back on the passenger side.

Thanks for the interest.

Hmmm, now I'm half tempted to drop the pan on the 6.0l and see if that one is a winner.

I just looked for bulletins but only show the needle bearings. What about the oil level sensor does that still work? Just a thought.
