that's crazy. The control unit on top of my MGU has been making an intermittent noise (not a bearing growl) fore some time now, so took it in last Monday, and got a call this Monday that it came in on the weekend shipment. Another customer was waiting, and had been for a month. I guess I'm just...

AAAHHH yes. Throw the baby pot with the bath water. Saves changing diapers I guess.

I never heard back from them. Crickets 🏏

Is it at all rpm's, even idle, and does it increase in frequency with rpms? Does it growl at idle? If it is intermittent, it could be the MGU electrical regulator is out of phase. The MGU is a three phase generator. It could also be a tensor or idler pully bearing.

90k and hasn't cost me a dime. And, wife loves the easy in/out. Win/win/win.

Same.

Check electrical connections dirt, grease, etc., and make sure they are tight..

If it goes away hot, it's exhaust manifold bolts broken or cracked manifold.

I fount the # and manufacturer, but got no response from them. I think that they pretty much only deal in very large quantities and end product builders. I have seen some MGU units without the electronics attached through Ebay junk yards, but most are light duty for the v6. A used doner if you...

OEM is cast aluminum, so I can't imagine an after market part being much better.

Hemi tic is not normal, nor knocking. These engines are really quiet, except for the hemi rumble. It sounds like the beginning of the tick possibly. Close the hood and listen, and see how noticeable it is then. The tick, or an exhaust leak should be easier to hear without the other motor noise...
