  1. Engine Noise Normal?

    I've had the 4-cyl Badlands for about 10 months now and love it. But I notice that the engine noise, rather than being a smooth sound like most new cars, has a kind of fast clicking sound that varies with the RPMs. Much more noticeable with the hood open. My previous Ford V6 had a smooth...
