Hi Pete,

I have a 2000 Dodge Ram 4x4 1500, 5.2 liter.
Two weeks ago I had the intake gaskets replaced as well as a tune-up (the check engine light was on). A couple days ago I noticed I distinct whining/clicking noise under the hood and the check gauges light flashed on (few extra seconds)and off. I flushed the radiator and the oil level is fine. Everything sounded good! This morning the whining/clicking noise reappeared and while driving to work the check gauges light came on and off twice. The noise seems to be only on cold engine starts. Can you help? Thanks!
