Anybody experience what sounds like valve cladder under moderate acceleration? Wot i dont hear it. Normal cruising i dont hear it but if your about 35 percent throttle I can hear what sounds like valve cladder.. its had nothing but 93 ran in it since day one so I dont believe it's a fuel issue.
 
I’ve not heard a cladder per se, but I think the engines sounds quite dry at low rpm and low throttle compared to the SO hurricane in my Wagoneer.

Will be interesting to see if anyone else has it. If you can get a video of it that would be great.
 
So far I have not experience this. Only thing I've notice is a slight low trany whine in fist and second gear. Later RJD
 
I have this as well. Not in the morning when it is cool out but in the afternoon I can hear it when accelerating. It almost sounds like a diesel engine.
I will see if my dashcam picks up the noise tomorrow.

I misspoke yesterday. It also does it in the AM must've had my music too loud lol.

Can’t really hear anything other than like drone, do you have a timestamp where you think the noise is?

At the first stop light right after it turns green. I was hoping it would’ve picked it up better. The second stop light you can hear it as well.

I hear something that kind of sounds like a cricket clicker at the first, but don’t really hear that at the second, so I might not have a trained enough ear to know.
 
Yes, mine sounds like the posted video too. Approaching 2500 rpms, it startes to rattle (best description I can give is somewhat like rolling your tongue on the roof of your mouth). If I have music or the A/C on, it's drowned out.
 
I rented a gmc terrain this weekend to drive up to Nashville for the race and heard the same rattle as my charger does. Only when accelerating.
