Same tune, both 05 LLY's, one truck is noticably louder in regards to timing knock. where one truck(LBZ mouth peice, S&B intake, 3.5" DP, 4" dual MBRP) is nice and quite threwout the RPM's/load the other truck(stock, 4" cat back) has a noticable timing knock. tried other tunes that I have ran on my personal truck and it seems that this truck still knocks more then I remember my truck doing. just seems to be a clanky truck. any opinions?

I thought I remembered reading somewhere that different engines could have the crank/cam pickup sensors out of alignment by as much as 2+ degrees from each other. Perhaps this truck has the sensor in a more advanced position?

You could try dropping a couple degrees from the entire timing table and see what it sounds like.

noisy truck has 60k miles, injectors balance better then the quite truck. I have yet to get this truck back but will play with it some more and post back. its nothing crazy, more so interesting
