I been watching these post about the Noise and I have never heard it. And yesterday on the way up town I had the radio off and I heard it. Did not sound that loud but at 2100 rpm it kicks in.
I will tell the dealer when I go in for a broken seat lever next week. Rob |

I haven't heard it but I usually have the stereo on. I'll keep it off for the next few days and see what I get.
Thanks for the info. |

I wonder if "The Noise" is something that you have from the get-go, or can it develop over time?

Does this 'faulty' piece do anything save annoy? I have heard some strange rattling noises from my engine between 2100-2800 rpm, but only when it's fairly cold outside, and God knows my dealership isn't going to do anything unless a deaf man could hear the sound. It doesn't really bother me, I keep my windows/sunroof open and music on, just don't want to hold it off and have more to fight Nissan to fix.

if they have a TSB out for it, you won't have to fight very hard. It requires that they hook up the Consult II to detect it, not just being able to hear it with human ears.
The noise I hear started when it was cold but is happening with every drive now. Should be interesting to see if I can hear it with the temp rising up to near 70 degrees this week. ~WYLDCAT89~ |

I really wish that was true for my dealer, lol. Let's just say that, to get my Armada's TSB work done, not only did I have to resort to personally demonstrating the noise, it took me bringing the TSB papers to the dealership, calling NissanUSA, and waiting for them to decide if they can find the noise (or whatever the case was). My only other option is to risk driving an hour to the other closest dealership, and that's not something I can do everytime I get a squeak or rattle :-/
Fortunately, besides this engine noise, my Frontier hasn't started falling apart on me! ... :: knocks on wood ::

I would bet that if there is an unacceptable noise, that there is an unacceptable vibration of the valve shaft/bearing/plate inside, which will lead to unacceptable wear and unacceptable product life. I wouldn't second guess this....better to replace it, IMO. |

Good News, My service manager finally emailed me. i had told him about the TSB last week but he was on vacation and was not aware of the TSB on the intake. So he emailed back again today and said he's going to order the intake for my truck without even looking at it.It's about 150 miles one way, so I was glad.I'm hoping they will give me a loaner while they work on my truck. I wonder how long it takes to replace the unit? If they can do it in 3 or 4 hours I might wait.

I drove home last night with no music on at all and couldn't hear anything resembling any rattling. Is this noise very noticeable or is it somewhat discrete?

Has anybody actually had this problem fixed yet? I had an appt today with the dealer to get it checked This was the first that they had heard anything about this problem. I printed out the How to fix TSB and brought it with me.explained the problem and handed the service manager the print out he asked if he could keep it. As I have posted earlier this rattle only happens while driving and I can't get it to make the noise sitting still. (can anybody else?) because we were in the midst of a snow storm today the dealer would not allow any test drives and just pulled it into the garage and hooked it up. of course he couldn't get it to rattle sitting in a garage stall. Now it's wait for nice weather and try again when they can take it for a drive.I hope all this TSB testing stuff can be done while riding in the truck.

Well stormgrey, welcome to Nissan service
 The first words out of my local dealer's service manager has and always will be "You're the first I've seen with this problem!" or, for repeat problems, "You're the first to come back with this problem again!" It's funny though, one day I was riding to Enterprise to get my rental with another Nissan customer who also owned an Armada. Came to find out that she had been in there for a lot of the same problems I had. I came back a few weeks later with the same problem she had when we met, and got the same "You're the first!" line. I think it's in Nissan's training or something. |

Its not a big noise, well at least in my truck. Slowly accelerate til you get to 2100rpm, kinda sounds like its reving higher but the needle shows 2100, does not sound like a rattle to me.
See if the helps Wolf |

Thanks...I'll check that out but I tried a number of concievable ways to get it to rattle all while I was driving but couldn't hear anything related to rattling.
Is this intermittent for any of you that do have it or is it a constant that can be replicated at will? |

WolfR1, My rattle happens when the truck is warmed up and you accelerate in gear. at 2100 RPM's it starts then fades out at about 2500-2700 is not intermittent and happens every time.(when engine is warm)

That's what I was looking for. Between 2000 and 3000 RPM some kind of noise but I really don't hear one.
I'm going to look for some lonely stretch of road in the next few days where I can check this out to see if I have this problem or not. |
