I've heard the sounds of heat expansion before, usually a couple of pops then it's done. Never like this, I looked under the half expecting to see flames shooting out of the cats! WTF?
It was in the lower 60's at the time and I don't have a very long drive to work, I wasn't flogging her on the highway...
Does this sound like my cats are going bad?
Thanks guys.
My cats have done that since my Marauder was new.
No problems here...
