OK I kknow you techs out there hate questions like these, (because they sound so stupid!) but I wonder aobut my new 05 D/A when throwin the hammer down, up to about 22-2400 RPM sounds fine, then a secondary burst of that signature diesel clatter goes off, pretty loud compared to regualar driving. antone familiar with this? thanks
