Popping/slapping noise when gunning it

I noticed today when I was on the highway and passing this annoying ahole that would not let me merge even though the lane to the left of him was open. I floored it, everything was fine and hauling, but there was this popping/snapping/slapping noise. Almost like those little snap pops you throw on the ground and the snap.

Any ideas?

Did you get the rice krispies tune?

Was it from the engine or the exhaust?

LOL, engine.

now go take a time out for making that comment.

Possible that it was spark knock from low quality fuel ?

I use 93 from the same gas station I always use, never noticed it before.

Sounds like detonation. Did you get the truck svcd before the tune? U mentioned sluggish acceleration and slipping trans before. Could be bad gas.

svcd?

Serviced. No tune is going to overcome a mechanical deficiency.

Definitely agree on detonation, which is usually from bad gas. I would recommend cleaning your MAF and throttle body, and then filling up with gas from another station.
