Default Just a few questions.

Before I ask the ?'s I'll let you know what I have. 02 Q,C 4x4SLT 4.7 automatic 77K

First question. Seems to be a noise coming from the engine. Almost like a rod rap. Only @ idle is when I hear it. Maybe a loud injector?

Second question. If its cold and my truck is sitting slightly down hill,(when I say slightly, I mean you could put your sunglasses on your dash, and they would stay stationary) when I put it into reverse, it doesnt wanna move right away. Only in Rdoes it do this. Yes I have checked the fluid level and its fine. Possibly a solonoid in the trans?

Rod Rap? Never heard that one before.. but if it is what i think it is... then your just hearing the standard tick.. My 05 4.7 did the same thing and the dealer said it was fine.. never an issue with it... and the reverse issue... could be anything...

Rod Rap is when there is a possible wrist pin that is stuck or binding causing internal engine noises.

Its just a ticking noise, kinda loud for my taste though.
