here's a video w/ some audio of it
Honestly when it first started making the noise I thought a helicopter was following me around.
I was able to pry off the upper timing belt covers w/ out taking apart the front end, and you could see the belt flapping. Not sure if you could do this on your 4.2 I turned it off real quick.<ul><li><a href="http://www.ragga.org/img/albums/album08/P6050093.avi">tensioner failure</a></li></ul>

When mine was failing along with the idler, it would sound like that but when you revved it, it
would snap back into time. It threw a code about a cam timing sensor. But that was a 2.7t with variable timing. Of course the dealer in all their doucheyness could not replicate.
