Evening, Tracy!

My unsolicited opinion on the noise is spark knock/ping/detonation from too high a gear at too low a speed. Try doing the same hill in 4th or 5th and see what happens.

I actually ran into the mechanic from the shop at the visitation tonight and that's kinda what he said. He mentioned changing the tune a little to let it have more gas.


Yeah it didn't do it at a lower gear.

Hey Tracy

Hey Greg.

Good to hear that your Mechanic is standing behind his work.

The storm has arrived here. Rain lashing the windows, lots of wind, lightning and thunder.
Under a Winter Storm Watch.
