I have a 2006 6.0 and it pops thru intake. I went and had it scanned top to bottom and compression tested and everything comes back perfect. The mechanic said he has heard the sound before but mine was just a bit louder than usual and I have nothing to worry about. Is he accurate....

 

Last time I heard a pop thru intake was sticky intake valve. . .

 

how do i fix that

 

Was bad guide. . . It ended up poor maintenance did it in. . What else does yours do? How often does it pop?

Does it seem to affect performance? Or just a nuisance noise?

 

always at idle and doesnt get anyfaster when driving and everything else is perfect

its a nusiance noise im wondering if i should put stock air filter back on

 

is it a WOP WOP WOP sound? or a true POP!!! sound? diesels use a lot of air, with an aftermarket filter you will hear it sucking in a ton of air for each cylinder.

 

its a wop wop wop

i have studs egr delete coolant filter cat 1 elc coolant, powermax turbo with h&s tuner if that helps oh and afe intake

 

these things suck in a ton of air, you are just hearing it because the AFE intake, if you stop hearing that at idle then you will know your filter is real dirty. the huge paper filter that is stock muffles the sound.

 

ok so as long as rpms arnt fluttering and its not running rough i shouldnt worry about it and crank up the radio
