I drive that thing like a hot rod so I'm not surprised.

Are you sure it isn't just pinging with cheap gas? If it was a four banger I would say hydraulic lash adjusters.

Check the exhaust manifold studs. They're probably broken at the back of each head - it's a common issue on 3.7's, 4.7's and Hemis. The resulting exhaust leak makes it tick. And it is a PITA to repair :hick:

you know that is actually very likely. I will definitely check that out. I shouldn't have to worry about it being a pain in the ass though, since hopefully the warrranty will cover it and it will be somebody elses problem;)

Oh I forgot to mention... I've been looking at the engine and things, ya know, cause that's just what people like us do...lol... and I realized that I have an -electronic throttle body-. There is no cable between the gas pedal and the TB. Just a sensor on the pedal and a motor on the TB. interesting. Also, I'm 95% sure the 2007 ECU is a speed density setup. I can't find a MAF sensor anywhere but I did find an IAT so that's intersting. I thought everything ran of MAF these days. huh.
