Not that I've ever found. PureGas.org shows absolutely nothing nearby. The recent meet at Pure Automotive Performance sounded like a summer evening.

Take it to dealer first. They might be able to replace it with new one... although cricket may come back.

^^ did that late last summer and crickets are already back...they are more apparent when it gets warmer. I didn't hear it throughout winter but it's back now.

I've had mine replaced I think in January and only noticed it coming back when I tried different fuel. Ever since, I've been sticking to one type of gas station and using the same octane gas every time. Haven't been hearing crickets ever since unless I try a different gas station.

I've read crickets return for most after replacement. What gas station, octane are you using to keep this pestilence at bay?
