    GEN 1 Power Steering pressure pushing hose off cooler

    Is it normal for there to be that much pressure on this side of the power steering? I was under the impression there shouldnt be much pressure at all in the cooler.

    GEN 1 Power Steering pressure pushing hose off cooler

    I have had this happen a few times times now. I will be driving to or from work, 55mph and about a 15 minute drive almost all highway miles. I accelerate slowly, Im not letting the RPMs get high at all. I will suddenly lose power steering and when i get out and check the hose going into the...

    GEN 1 Intermittent Knocking...VVT Solenoid first then Sprocket?

    If it's the bearings in the clutch of the AC unit could it still make my clunking even without being engaged? I will try turning off the heat and see if it makes noise

    GEN 1 Intermittent Knocking...VVT Solenoid first then Sprocket?

    So I got everything back together and I noticed some grease slung on the skid plate. Clearly from a pulley or belt based on shape. Tracked it back to the AC compressor. There is sludge coming from between the 2 pieces. I released the tension and turned it by hand and it snags on something and...

    GEN 1 Intermittent Knocking...VVT Solenoid first then Sprocket?

    I havent done either of those yet. I have q cam of spray seafoam I was going to run through whem I get it back together. Would those issues you mentioned throw error codes though? Because I have no check engine lights and firscan has no dtcs.

    GEN 1 Intermittent Knocking...VVT Solenoid first then Sprocket?

    Yiutube link to the sound. It's a couple seconds into the video. That noise comes and goes at idle. Maybe once every couple minutes.

    GEN 1 Intermittent Knocking...VVT Solenoid first then Sprocket?

    Well I change my oil and filter. Hooked up forscan and monitored the error for both cams and the requested advance. They mirrored each other almost identically. Error stayed below 1 degree except when accelerating or letting off the gas. Even when my engine started making the knocking noise at...

    GEN 1 Intermittent Knocking...VVT Solenoid first then Sprocket?

    Mine isn't just the lifter tick or injector tick. This isn't one of the common 6.2 noises. I've had it for about a year and it only started doing this this week. It's a rough loud knocking when my engine comes out of warm up mode. I'm like 75% sure it's variable timing related. I need to hook...

    GEN 1 Intermittent Knocking...VVT Solenoid first then Sprocket?

    I forgot to mention I have no error codes currently. I do have Forscan so hopefully that will also help clarify the issue.

    GEN 1 Intermittent Knocking...VVT Solenoid first then Sprocket?

    So i haven't found a whole lot of information out there about issues with the Gen 1 VVT Solenoid and Sprocket so hopefully you can tell me if Im heading the right direction. When I start my truck up it sounds fine while in its high idle warmup mode. When it kicks down to regular idle it will...

    GEN 1 scratchy/gravel noise at idle

    It was the tensioner pulley. So much better, now all I hear is the power steering faintly whining. Back to normal lol.

    GEN 1 scratchy/gravel noise at idle

    The alternator was replaced before i bought the truck. Only has a couple thousand miles on it. Guess I'll pull that tensioner arm off tomorrow and see how that one feels.

    GEN 1 scratchy/gravel noise at idle

    My 2013 6.2L with 85k miles has recently started being noticeably louder at idle. Its a rough scratchy or gravel type sound. Almost like static on a TV. The idle is stable and doesn't bounce at all. The AC being on or off doesn't change the noise. I replaced the 2 idlers pulleys as 1 was...
