Clicking Noise coming from intake.
I have a clicking noise that sounds like it's coming from my air intake. I just installed a new intake on the truck last week and it still is making the noise. It's a steady click that is in a rhythm. Any help would be appreciated.

The old intake had the airbox drilled from the bottom by some retard. Why would you drill holes in the bottom of all places? Seems like if you ran through a puddle water would get to your filter. I put on a aftermarket intake because I could'nt find a stock replacement for it. I have just started on this truck and don't know anything about it's history. But, I do know someone cut a lot of corners with this rig.

Can the fuel injectors really be that loud? I started noticing the same thing after I took off, cleaned, and reinstalled my intake... never noticed it before, but now it's audible and almost sounds like a tapping valve, lol... maybe that's all it is... or could be the 284K miles on the truck...

I'm not saying that the injectors are the source of your noise, but they are one of those innocuous parts that make noise when they are working properly. You could make a poor-man's-stethoscope and check the noise: get a long screwdriver, ratchet extension or solid steel bar and place one end on an injector and the other end on your ear and see if the noise you hear through the 'stethoscope' matches the same interval as the clicking.
You can use that same trick to locate the source of almost any 'hard' noise in the engine- just watch out for moving parts.

Well... I've used that 'stethoscope' trick to ferret out worn rocker arm bushings on an engine... and having that little bar pounding your head because you were dumb enough to put it on the end of the rocker arm as opposed to the rocker shaft teaches you a lesson pretty quick: a mistake I made only once. LOL

Moving parts does not always mean belts and fan blades.
As for broom handles- they work ok for lower pitched 'knocking' sounds like rod bearings and the like, but don't conduct higher pitched sounds or 'clicks' from loose valves and injectors as well as steel.

I have a ticking noise and asked my local mechanic about it. He said it was the injectors.
Also the holes below the airbox allow for the engine to breathe better (made for people who don't go driving in water too much)
Someone did a write-up that you might wanna see too.

There are fairly complicated calculations relating to air flow volume versus velocity that come into play. <- one of the reasons that swapping the AFM and filter with the battery is effective on 22RE's and why 'velocity stacks' work well on older carb'ed engines.
