Okay my truck when idling has lope to it, sounds like it has mild cam. Is that normal? The truck is a 17 w/5.7. Oil pressure is good. And no codes present.

That code is for "cylinder 2 misfire". It could be as simple as a spark plug or coil but these 5.7s are fairly notorious for cam and lifter failures. It seems to happen more frequently on engines with excessive idle timeIt was P0302
I understand. If it is the cam and lifter issue it will only get worse and eventually lead to engine failure. If you're able to, get rid of it as soon as you can.I just don’t have the money to fix it. I really like the truck just not all the problems associated with it.
