The only time you may hear the RattlerŽ is when starting and stopping the engine. When you hear the slight "click" you know the RattlerŽ is ready to work. The slight noise could have been eliminated but TCIŽ decided to keep it as a distinguishing trademark.
I had one on my old 383 in the El Camino, I did notice that the engine ran smoother and had less vibration,there pricey but do what there supposed to I guess.
Love the new updates Greg, any other new goodies coming or changing?

Of course I was kidding when I asked that rhetorical question... and of course the RATTLER is doing just exactly what they say and exactly as it should.... the problem is - this is a hot rod - not a race car... and with no hood sides etc... the "rattling" sounds like something is falling off the car. Quite embarrassing to say the least... So it's OUT, and a Fluid Damper is in.... I'll use the rattling POS on something more suitable. Maybe Todd will want it?
