Little background, truck is a 14 6.2 with headers/ory to a 22" magnaflow, airaid Tube with k&n filter, and khp tune. When the truck sits over night or through the day, basically its first cold start, I get this popping from the exhaust, clear as day comes from there and out back to the 5" tip I have. It only does it for 10 seconds maybe, some days it's worse than others, but it throws a code for rough engine idle, even though nothing's wrong. I can't seem to find anything on it. I don't think it's tune related but hell it may be, it did it stock too with all the stock exhaust, but it never did it bad enough to throw a code. Now it's just annoyin. I changed the plus/wires, cleaned the MAF and throttle body just to see. Kinda grabbin at straws here...any help is appreciated

Tried to get one today when I left for work about 4:15 but it didn't do it. Only thing I noticed different was that the temp outside was hotter than it has been and I let it sit all day instead of startin it once I woke up around 10-11 coming off nights. Will see if I can't get one tomorrow

I hear it. Lean Misfire? So...you took out all of the cats and put headers/ory on? How does the truck know if it's in a lean/rich condition if it has no sensor data to make adjustments? If you plug in dummy O2s, are they designed to switch above and below 500mV like an O2 sensor does? Based on MAF, TPS, O2's the ecm leans or enriches the fuel mixture. You have removed one of these components so data collection and adjustment may be flawed and on a cold engine may create a lean misfire. But, not enough for a code. If your programmer can read data, put it on misfire and see if you are getting any. ECM has to see 5 in a row i think to set the SES light.

 

You say it happened on the stock exhaust too? Was it tuned or was that without a tune?

I wanna say it happened on the stock exhaust, but I can't be for sure since it was so quiet and with the baffle in there it never made an audible poppin noise. And it never threw a code for the rough engine idle. But since I've added the headers, y-pipe that took the cats out, and magnaflow it's noticeable. I did remove the rear o2 sensors, the fronts stayed the same and it is tuned now. It wasn't before I did any exhaust work. Now when it pops, it'll throw the code, truck runs great, just the poppin on cold starts and that's what I'm tryin to figure out. My buddy has hptuners on his laptop so I'm sure I could get him to look at it, but duplicatin the poppin is hit and miss, and never happens after its ran once that day

get a bluetooth OBD 2 reader with Torque and monitor misfires. if you get any misfires, it is going to be consistantly over 10-20 misfires. anything from 2-4 that shows up every now and then should not be an issue.

 

saw your post here, http://www.performancetrucks.net/forums/gmt-k2xx-trucks-general-discussion-221/p050d-code-533167/page2/

 

keep the code on, dont wipe it off, find a good dealer to fix it. the dealer finally fixed my issue did not mention anything against my oil catch can, cold air intake, and magnaflow exhaust

I seriously doubt the front O2 sensors were removed, those are the only ones the ECM uses for fueling changes. The rear O2 sensors only tell the ECM if the catalytic converters are working.

I didn't wanna take it t the dealer due to headers and the tune, they'd turn me away in a heartbeat which I guess is the chance I took when installin them lol. Front o2 sensors are in of course, rears were deleted. Now I've changed plugs and wires, poppin has substantially minimized with that and I'm thinkin the wires were no good as all plugs look great but changed em anyways. Now it does have slight pops, but sounds more like a rumble I guess. I did get a flashing light this mornin but didn't have time to check it as I was goin to work so I drove my wife's car. Last time it flashed I got cylinder 1 misfire iirc. Only problem is the truck runs with no issues at idle, it's when I'm gainin speed. Not floored, but just easing into the throttle it feels like the truck jerks or hesitates. I've been researching and leaning towards a bad coil pack and im Guessin it's safe to assume it's cylinder 1? Anyone else think it could be somethin else? Injector maybe?

      AFM Experience

      By Atlas · Posted

      When I had a Bumper subscription for a few days when I needed to run title histories on cars I was looking at, I decided to look up a few of my old/past vehicles.   My 2015 Silverado was still actively registered and it last sold in 2024 with 160k on the clock. No idea if that's on the original engine but someone's keeping it on the road or the original AFM stuff is still going.   It used 0w20. I remember feeding it Mobil 0w20 AFE for the first 30k of its life on <5k OCI's.

      Bridgestone vs Goodyear tires?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I can't say I have ever heard of someone getting that type of mileage out of a set of tires even though they rotated on a regular basis but without a doubt if the front end gets wear and those tires are no longer able to track straight it scrubs them off, and driving style and road surface make a huge difference as well.    However that is not what prompted me to comment as it was the new tire theme of sitting in storage waiting to be used scenario. I am sure some tires can last for quite a while in storage if its not too warm and out of the sunlight but unfortunately some tires the way they their rubber compound is formulated they can age and dry out even in a reasonably decent storage location. My brother ran into this maybe three years ago when he was looking at the tires that were on his dually truck and a combination of wear on the rear ones and noticing that the front tires had some cracks around the sidewall of the tire not far from the bead but he had replaced only the front ones not long ago with 2 of the remaining 6 he had left from the initial two sets of takeoffs he had all bought at the same time .... 10 years ago ! ( the years fly by, a truck that only gets used a bit to haul a camper during the summer and sits in a shed for a large part of the year ). That second set of 6 tires, two he had put on the front prior like I said and they had very little wear but those cracks were now present. So we go into the shed where the other 4 tires had been stored all this time and every one of them had the same cracks in the sidewalls and so in the end it amounted to throwing away 6 brand new but 10 year old takeoff tires into the dump that he got a deal on at a tire shop because they aged out. They were a Ford factory equipment BFG tire and those tires did not age well compared to some tires I've seen far older then that and did not show that type of aging. True, they always say up here anyway that 7 years is sort of a limit for age by rights, we don't have the intense prolonged heat that many of you have down in the states that just cook tires and depends on where the vehicle sits when not in use. GB, another words maybe had you bought a set of tires to store it would have been fine as long as you used them up fast enough but there are no guarantees when it comes to rubber, tires or of that other type stored in some guys wallets 😆

      Open Door Chimes When Key is Out

      By Head South · Posted

      2020 2500 HD...I had some trouble getting the key into the ignition switch but went in fine after applying some extra effort. Since then, the door chimes when open when the key is out of the ignition. Also, when I lock the doors with the switch on the arm rest, the driver door locks but then unlocks. (I can lock everything fine with the fob) The message on the little screen displays the "Engine Hours"...kinda weird.   I'm guessing something happened to the ignition switch and it thinks the key is still in there. I unplugged the batteries for 20 minutes, no change. There are a number of videos on YouTube but nothing I can find that address this specific issue. Ideas appreciated, thank you.

      Front End Rattle

      By AndrewF · Posted

      Looking for help troubleshooting a metallic like front end rattle. Figured I’d see if anyone had thoughts before I schedule an appointment with the dealer.   The rattle is fairly loud and occurs primarily when the front driver side wheel hits a bump, even fairly minor road seams. Sometimes does it when the passenger hits a bump but I don’t believe when the rear hits. Rattle still occurs when foot is pressing brake peddle so I think that rules out the caliper rattle I’ve read about. I’ve also checked the running boards and they are tight.   Most noticeable at slow speeds.    Any insight is appreciated.
