only when cold after a start. after about 5 minutes of idle it goes away. but when it is ticking you can pull a vacuum hose and it will go away. i thought it was my nonfunctional egr valve, so I put on a block off plate and that didn't fix it. it sounds like the truck is missing, I do have some exhaust leaks too, but the fact that it goes away when creating a vacuum leak makes no sense to me.

all vacuum lines are new, i have tried spraying brake cleaner to see if i can find a leak, and there is none to be found.

out of curiousity, that restrictor in the exhaust isn't hooked up, no idea if it is open or closed, could that be causing it?

kinda lost on this one

Maybe it isn't a vacuum problem, maybe it is my horribly leaky exhaust?
