Well I scanned the truck today and there was only one code it was P1694 A tcm code...But the truck is a 6 speed?? Does my truck have the wrong flash?

 

P1694 (M) No CCD Messages received from
ECM
Bus communication failure to PCM.

 

I searched around here and found that will usually cause a starting problem. The truck starts great even in the cold weather...I read the post were you said to check the connector I did that i seems good....Do you think that could be causing my popping??

 

have you checked valve lash? or is it not that kind of pop? i had a couple valves 30 thousants out of place and it was makin some noise but i fixed it and it works like a champ. it also cuased me to misfire and blow my headgasket (i was told by a cummins mechanic) if that helps any. make sure to get new thermastat when u change the head gasket also it costs a bit but its worth it in the end from what ive been told good luck hope this helped

 

Ok thanks for the input...I figured it out it was a bad connection to the fass so i was in and out of good fuel pressure...Fixed the connection and she works good.

Thanks for all the help guys!!
