Rough idle. Miss at idle. Everyone within 30 feet of your truck is crying their eyes out for no apparent reason. People are changing lanes behind you so they can breathe. The car behind you at a stoplight suddenly stalls from oxygen deprivation. Abysmal fuel economy. Oil level rising as fast as the fuel gauge is dropping. Truck sounds like powerstroke. Those are the major ones i can think of.
My truck did not flip a DTC on any of them.

Mine had a bad smell like burning paint or fresh varnish.-:t Also smoke and surging at very slow speeds.

My 2003 lb7 had low power and then began to take a second to fire, then went to "hard starting" - then "no start". Progression from notice of starting issue to "dead truck" was 5-7 days.

"Truck sounds like powerstroke" by Got Juice is funny. I told my contact at the GMC dealer just yesterday that I want him to take my "Ford" in to have the injectors checked. Seems worse at higher RPM's. Juice or any programmer just intensifies the problem. I feel a loss of power, especially at highway speed. I'll post more if I get any results soon.
