I figure someone on here would probly know,
I recently as of just yesterday, have been hearing a new sound when the engine is warmed up at idle, it sounds real faint but sounds simular to the sound of a gasser with 1 spark plug pulled out while running..kind of a
mop-mop-mop sound.
kinda thinking injector but im not gettting any white smoke and the engine sounds smooth...:dunno

Update; I did'nt hear that noise today, it was really cold here last night with high winds,,,but still vant figure what might have caused it.
Also checked codes, I have been getting 0407 but it seems to run fine, i also replaced BPV tube,,,had to make one stealership wanted $54. I do get the jet sound when cold or long idles out of exhaust

Could be turbo flutter--if it is, that's nothing to worry about.

I only heard it at idle, did'nt think I could have turbo flutter at idle, early 99 I believe it also came with wicked wheel from factory,. and still have stock air filter intake, hav'nt heard it at WOT either, but yet no boost no flutter..And I dont do dealerships

Well got water pump in. job took around 2.5 hours, And the weird sound is gone, The old pump did have weep hole very lightly leaking, which I should have took care of probly 2 months ago, nice weather here to work on things finally. I went with a brand new pnump for $229
Also did all 4 ball joints, front brakes while I was at it. rotors was good thank god, since it dually, Gave truck a good going over,
So in all I was in heaven woorking on my truck for about 13 hours,
Now I can be happy again..
