[QUOTE="DILLARD000, post: 1049966, member: 74901"] It's a judgement call; * if you've got another vehicle to drive, then you can choose to wait until it craters * if very dependent on this vehicle, best plan downtime+budget sooner than later Personally I'd first try replacing the 2 OilPressurized TimingTensioners, see if that quiets down the rattle; if not then best to plan pulling\replacing engine. If Trans is sluggish or already has shifting issues, pulling+fixing both makes sense. Again a judgement call; possible to get another 100k on the Trans, also possible it craters tomorrow. Lots of variables to consider; a rebuild\replacement can have it's own problems, very dependent on you or your mechanics skill\tools\space\time\budget. [/QUOTE]
