Is this pop pop pop sound from the intake normal on a 7.3 powerstroke? My truck is a 1996 f250 7.3. I have a video of it not sure how to upload it on here.
It does it at idle and when you rev it a little then you don’t hear it any more till it’s at idle. It’s been doing this since I bought the truck in 2021 but didnt really notice it till I did the Napa 6637 mod. Thank you all for your time

I am guessing that big filter is allowing it to make that noise. The 7.3 PSD can sound kinda choppy.

Best bet for videos is upload to YouTube, either unlisted or public, and then post the link here.

Could very well be a valve not seating correctly. It was pretty common on idi's, not so much on powerstrokes. but anything can happen. Next step would be to pull valve covers and closely inspect workings of all rockers and pushrods and report back
