Slight exhaust pop occasionally
Ok, I can't hear the sound but my mechanic buddy can. When just ideling he swears he hears a faint occasional pop, like the sound of a burnt valve. Does anybody have any clues or is this normal for the new 5.0s?

I think I know what your talking about. I definitely think that its nothing. Pretty much every 5.0 I've heard when started in a cold start makes that very faint stutter sound. Mine does it when at idle during a cold start. Goes away just down the block. Nothing to worry about in my opinion.

I noticed my v6 did the same thing during the winter when i would start it up once in a while in storage..almost seemed like a miss...would stop after a short while and runs great so not going to worry about it.

First thing, it happens well after startup. But like you guys I think it's normal as well. Now for the second part, it's pretty flipping rude for me to catch hell just for asking a question on a subject that I know little about.
