    That's not necessarily the cause of the problem. It COULD be a contributing factor but people have had #7 fail with aftermarket intakes too.

    The fix may be but the problem is not. Both Jay (ramair2002) and I both had #7 pistons go south. If I'm correct, the 5.3 is the only one with an advertised issue. Or does anyone know of someone with a 4.8 or 6.0 with the same issue?

    A forged #7 piston only covers up the problem. If you could find why #7 is detonating, that would be the way to go. Of course, a forged piston may be strong enough to handle the existing problem...

    Are there really regular visitors to this site that have never heard of the ole number seven issue?

    Anyone wants to call me out for making too many posts needs to realize I read all new posts (there's an ap for that LOL) and comment when it helps someone, makes me laugh, or OTHER. This is one reason I know about #7 and other stuff.

    Let's not be surprised by ANY elephant in the room.

    Edit: oh yeah that was the tune, nevermind... Wait! Who's going to be tuning for these pistons?
