Mine does this too. I figured it was just because of the higher compression of the LB7 and it being a first gen dmax it's just loud. I could have bad info though. Still learning

Too much fuel (pulse width) is being brought in too quick (timing). Load a stock tune and try it out...Or somthing much smaller, bet it goes away:thumb:

Basically the piston is trying to be pushed down as the crank is trying to push them up to TDC. (too much timing, too soon) too much fuel coming in too soon (makes it louder and can wash the cylinder walls with fuel). None of this is good under any circumstances!!!

After reading this thread, I cant believe how many people are driving around with this issue. GUYS YOUR TRUCK SHOULD NOT HAVE ANY EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF RATTLE AT ANY THROTTLE POSITION. After about 2500 rpms the engine will get a little bit louder (pilot injection in turning off) but that is normal (about twice as loud as with pilot on)

Am i correct in my previous post Dan? Mine isnt what id call excessively loud, kinda sounds like a 7.3 powerstoke.
