Everyone knows the snap, crackle and pop sound our exhausts make when we turn off the truck and walk away.
Problem is, truck is making this sound everytime I stop at a light, sit idle, etc... even is popping and cracking as I drive alongside a jersey-wall and the sound reflects back into the cab.
What is causing this? Do I have something that needs to be looked at?
Thanks guys/gals... love the site! Tremendous resource!
Hello, my truck had same problem, just got it fixed, seemed to be the solution. Found the fix here:
TSB
06-20-8 EXHAUST SYSTEM NOISE - SNAP / POP / TICK / PING - 5.4L AND 6.8L ENGINES - VEHICLES BUILT ON OR BEFORE 9/8/2006

Where did you find the TSB? I cannot find it in those on this site.
What was the issue with your truck? What did Ford do to fix?
Thanks!
Up top on the screen there's a Recalls/TSB section. Scroll down and I found it under my truck, which is an 06 250. When you're there, you should see the specific TSB near the bottom, just look for the matching header. I was frustrated by the same sound and techs telling me it's heating/cooling, which didn't seem right all the time while driving, so I searched around the TSB's and came across it. I printed up the TSB report, brought it to my local dealer and told them that was my problem, which they had no problem fixing with little question.
Found it, will be taking to the shop over the weekend! Thank you kind Sir!
Did the shop have anything to say about it? Simple fix no hassle?
Wish they would pay to put a nice exhaust on for me
Well... finally free'd up at work to where I could be without the rig for a day.
Called the dealership ahead of time, was told they would order the parts to do this exhaust TSB job. 6 hours later and after only an oil change they call to tell me they had to order the parts to do the exhaust replacement.... THANKS FORD!
Again, great truck, crappy customer service!
