    Converter bolt backed out or broken flexplate...

    One or the other happened to my truck in the last day or two. Got a tick that is getting noticeably louder from that area. Doesn't seem to happen until the converter has some pressure on it, so I'm hoping a bolt just backed out a little. Will find out tomorrow when I have some time and light. The bad thing is, I'm at school and only have fairly basic tools here. I have enough tools to pull the starter and inspect though.

    Feels just fine. No slipping, no loss of power. Just an annoyingly loud tick.

    Had one converter bolt that was backed out around 1/2 a thread. Pulled it out to check for wear, put some more locktite on it, and stuck it back in there. She's ready for SAR.
