- '06 EB '05 XLT
Hi there,
This forum has helped me tremendously in the past when I had problems with my '05 XLT. Unfortunately, it got totaled in an accident where some a-hole ran a red light. So, to replace my beloved XLT I recently bought a 62k miles '06 EB 2WD with the 4.0L engine.
I want to start off by contributing a bit, I inherited a P0457 code from the previous owner, initially I just thought it was the gas cap as the one on there wasn't OEM so I replaced it with the OEM part from dealer but 3 drive cycles later the check fuel cap light came back on. A smoke test showed the canister vent valve was stuck open thus throwing the code, so a $95 part later problem fixed, not too bad.
Now, I still have two issues that's annoying me a lot.
First, when I go from a complete stop, there's this thunk noise at around 5mph, it goes away immediately as I give it more gas and it doesn't make the noise when I slow down from say 20mph to ~5mph or so.
Second issue is there's a rumbling noise when I'm going over 60mph on the highway and I feel this vibration in the gas pedal, it's not too bad yet but I want to fix the problem early.
Any ideas where I should start looking?
Thanks a lot!
