I've read all the threads on ticking noise but this seems different.
The adjacent property has a huge beaver dam holding water on my place. So I'm forced to go through some pretty deep water. I have a 3" lift and 30's and have no issues until recently. The water will be approx 2-3" in the floorboard. Never got a wet belt or in the intake. Now I ride approx 2 miles back to my property and the water is all the way in the back. So about 1.75 miles the engine runs like a top. No power loss, very responsive, like its supoose to. 2 days ago is when I noticed it 1st. When I hit the water, I would ride in the water a ways and I would hear a tocking noise. But its not coming from under the seat at least I dont think so. It sounded like a stick caught in the radiator fan. However it does click faster with the revving of the engine.
When i exited the water, i put in neutral, hit the gas and sure enough, clicks with engine rev. Last night, while it's still on my trailer, I started it, all was fine. Clicking was gone.
Decided to come hunt today. Rode back the 2 miles, no clicking, hit the water again, 2-3" in floorboard, clicking started and continued when I exited the water just like last time. The engine definitely comes up to temp during the ride back because I can hear the radiator fan kick on so it's not a warning up thing, as least I dont think so. It's something with the water.
Is there something I can check or have you guys run across anything like this before? I would think if it's a lifter or something, it would do it all the time, or even when its warmed up. But whe. I hit the water, it starts doing it.
