Has anyone ever figured out exactly what the hell that random ticking/tapping/knock sound at idle is? It's driving me insane. I found this video from T4R, of a A/T 3.4L idling. I've got the exact same intermittent/random tap noise in my truck.

This sound is starting to drive me slightly insane. Its annoying as hell when i pull up to a drive-thru or stop next to anything (as the sound is amplified, and I become more aware of how awful it is)

Anyone actually know how to fix this?
