Slight miss after long highway run?
This past weekend i went to IL to pick up a truck for a friend of mine, it was about a 5 hour trip one way. About half way in the trip we hit traffic and came to a stop. After about 2min of sitting there in traffic i noticed that the truck had a slight miss. I mean ever so slight but i could feel the truck kind of shake? or twitch. I had no CEL and no codes on my scan gauge. All my temps were in check EOT was 189* ECT was 193* running 70mph with an empty car hauler.
I shrugged it off to my mind playing trick on me. when we arrived at the guys house to get the truck i noticed the same thing again. but still no codes no loss of power or anything. No abnormal smoke on start up nothing... Fast forward to driving to work last night i didnt notice it at all? Thoughts? Truck is stock, 4in exhaust, blue spring and that's it. T6 15w im headed up 3 hours north for thanksgiving towing my buddies wheelin rig and thought i would see if there is something im missing or should be worried about before i go up Sorry for the story book.. Thanks, Mike EDIT: ON THE TRIP UP NORTH MY TEMPS WERE EOT 198* ECT 188* at 70mph FICM voltage has never dropped below 47v ever. Last edited by 03XL6.0; 11-24-2012 at 07:46 AM. |

i thought i noticed something similar after running 2 hours down the interstate at 70 with a loaded car hauler, around 7,000lbs. i pulled up to the fuel pump and was doing an idle cool down and i thought i felt something, but wasnt sure.

I did notice that mine was doing it today when I got home from work. But i don't know if its normal idle for these trucks or if I'm just bein over paranoid about it. Still no codes or loss of power.

Mine was doing that I changed my icp sensor and it went away.

Mine will do that from time to time. Mainly when after driving for a bit, then in a drive through and kill the motor to order and restart it will seem to have a miss for a minute or so then go away

Well I made the trip fine. Truck did great all temps checked out. But still had the miss after 3 hours on the highway. Sounded like the injector was racing almost? Had a really fast paced sound at idle. Shut the truck off and let it sit for 10min and fired it back up and sounds fine. WTF!

Update
So got back in town last night and had the issue all the home. But it got worse as the EGTs were gettin a little high even after I unhooked from the trailer just driving they were high.
So I changed the fuel filters tonight and holly crap they were terrible!! Replaced them hoping it would change something but no change. I have a funny idle and what seems like a slight miss at idle after the truck gets up to temp. But now does it just driving around town. I'm starting to think I messed up an injector.... But no codes... Help ![]() Fuel filter pics

When mine does this I usually change the fuel filters and it goes away. I got a bad batch of fuel recently and I've been changing filters every 2-3,000 miles. After changing them, I can hear the difference as soon as I crank up. Hope you get it figured out!
