I had something like this happen to me a few weeks ago. Take a look at My thread I posted a video of what it sounded like..misfire cylinder 7
...ended up being a collapsed lifter..in the end it was a new motor. ..maybe that's not your issue but after this happened to me I read alot of threads with people having the same issue ....not all had to be rebuild

So after tearing apart the motor we have found the broken part.

It turned out to be a "collapsed" lifter.

I'm thinking that this has been an ongoing issue for about a year.
The truck has given me issues quite often with a CEL from a misfire on cyl #7.
Thought it was a spark plug, but maybe not.

After inspecting the head, I see two things.
One being an exhaust leak.

Two something wasn't burning right in that cyl.

I also took apart one of the lifters for *****.
Pretty strange with lots of things that could fail easily.

Placed an order with Jay Greene today for a stage 1.5 HL cam and non mds lifters.
Should be fun.

Update:

Got the truck all back together with Jay Greene's stage 1.5 HL vvt cam kit, and his custom tune.
Also sent my TB out to Dave at fastman and had it bore'd to 84mm.

Truck is running great and sounds awesome!

Huge thanks to Jay for all the help. I must have asked him 100 questions and he always had the answer. Seriously awesome customer service.


From start to finish I probably have $3000 total. Including parts, gaskets, head bolts, fluids, ac recharge ect...

They tick at the second you fire it up then it get worse until its ticking all the time (im talking about the header gasket and bolts )
