    Run premium gas about every third tank...should go away. When I have the tank in the truck, there is absolutely no ticking. It slowly starts to come back each tank after till I fill it back up with the good stuff

    Agreed I had the same thing I only run chevron 89 or 92 runs great sounds great everyone has their opinions on gas grades but I can for sure tell a difference when I changed to better gas. It also gives it a little more get up and go as well. that's my 2 cents.

    And I notice I can get about 20-30 miles more out of the premium tank with fuel efficiency. So you get a little more than a gallons worth for free. Figure that in when you get sticker shock from the premium gas. I track mileage on every tank. An old habit I had from my diesel days with a broken gas gauge. I reset the A odometer at every fill up, and refill to the same level every time. It makes tracking mileage pretty easy

    Ha ha to funny I have the same habit, my first vehicle was a 78 f150 with a broken gas gauge as well. I reset mine every time as well and keep tack I swear by top tier high octane gas I do notice better gas millage, smoother idol, better starting and more power.

    I always thought this was a normal thing. :notsure: I've been doing this since I first learned to drive.

    It seems to be pretty normal. That's what others have told me.

    I had a terrible loud tick on my 2006 Sr5. I tried everything I could find online to fix it. I would have a loud tick anytime the clutch pedal was not depressed. I thought it was transmission resonance and decided to ignore it.

    Last week my serpentine belt snapped. The truck quit and it was perfect timing as I was just rolling into my driveway. Anyhow, the lower idler pulley was sized. I replaced it along with the other 2 upper pulleys for good measure. Slapped the belt back on, started her up and .... no more tick.

    Did you end up using these and if so were there any issues with heat from the engine?
