I first heard this noise when I started my car after staying in a hotel en route back from Utah. (I am from SoCal.) It was super cold overnight. It is definitely the longest trip I've ever done with my rig. It went away after driving to a gas station across the street. Didn't hear it again for about 2 weeks until yesterday, I heard it on a cold start and it lasted a little longer. Drove to another gas station near my house, put a bit of gas in (I was super low, and broke! LOL) and drove home. The next day, (this morning) I started her up and was hoping it would make the noise so I could get a recording of it. Sure enough, it did. The noise cut out just a few seconds after I shut the video off. So far, it only makes the noise on a super cold start in the morning. Hasn't made the noise during the day, even after my long work shifts. It sounds like it's either coming from the engine, or the water pump/oil filter area. The belt chirp is a non-issue, but still aggravating. But, the bigger noise is the one I'm concerned about. Anybody got any ideas? Attached link is a video of the noise. Thanks, guys.
