1. I have this noise that is coming from somewhere on the exhaust. Maybe it is transferring from something else. I dont hear it in the engine bay but mostly from under the truck on the passenger side. It has gotten worse so I am thinking some heat shield may be loose. That is what it sounds like. I looked under the truck and it seems that everything is very tight and secure so I am confused. I have heard some heat shield rattle info from the exhaust manifolds have made a sound like this but not sure about the location of the sound.
When I get on the throttle a bit it increases and decreases on the way down. At idle, it kinda will rattle a bit, then stop and kinda roll in and out. I currently have magnaflow CB welded in place. Nothing is loose and that is my concern.
I will be installing my bassanis and JMB catless mids this weekend so I think I should be able to eliminate it by doing this. Just looking to see if anyone has had a similar problem.
2. I get an engine code every so often about injector #1. Then a puff of gray smoke and a misfire for a bit. She runs rough then clear up. I popped hood and noticed that my oil cap has a slight drip onto plug #1. It seems after I installed my CAI from JMB maybe I am getting some back pressure and blowing by the seal on the cap? The gasket looks okay but I am going to change it anyway. Anyone else have this problem and do you think I need to take to the dealer? Once I clean up the area, the truck runs perfect. In fact it is only once in a while that this problem arises. I can go months without a problem then it just starts, last a few minutes, wipe it down and gone...
Help me VTCOA-Kenobi, you're my only hope...
