BPV...correct? Damnit!! This Bailey is only 2 months old if that. Lifetime warranty right? Does that mean it gets rebuilt or I get another one? Anything else it could be?

Thanks,
Chad

Default Not necessarily BPV...there are a couple of valves that would cause same problems
I am sure some of the "Experts" will point you in the right direction.

Default No insult...How do you know?
Do you have vag? I have found serious knock was not audible unless I ran with the windows down by a wall.

Which measuring block should I be checking, and what should I see for numbers?

Thanks,
Chad
