This video is from a 2003 4.0, Automatic with 88,000 miles that I'm considering buying. There is a noise that I can't quite pin down and I've been listening to just about every YouTube clip I can find. Right now, my guess is the flexplate. Anyone else that's already been through this and it sounds familiar?

 
Sounds like either lifter tick or an exhaust leak. Two common issues on these things.

I'm leaning towards an exhaust leak.
