Really annoying ticking noise coming from engine at idle and gets louder as engine warms up. On a 2004 SRT10. With 17k miles. Still have warranty until 2011. Took it into the dealership to get it looked at twice, charged me to look at it I can't remember how much but I got a simple "it's normal". The viper tech was outside while I was leaving the parking lot and it came out of his mouth that "somethings not normal". They replaced the drivers side manifold thinking that was causing it but yah that didn't work. I called Chrysler Dodge head office and reported this, they didn't really do much about it. Supposedly they called the dealership and asked them if they needed assistance they would send in another Viper tech to the same dealership the day my car would come. I'm not too sure if this is normal but I've been in other Vipers and they don't make this noise. Anyone that can help or heard anything thats solved this issue?
