Replacement motor questions but hopefully fixable

Pretty sure it was something on the intake…some kind of linkage bracket

Better figure it out! If it's a ground it might be needed. It looks too light to be a bracket to me. Look for a place where there are 2 bolts that far apart that look like it fits that shape.

Looks like an ac line support bracket of some sort. Is it aluminum?

Everything is back together and running fine. Thank you everyone for all of your help!

I didn’t get a chance to follow this thread until now. Glad you fixed your truck! Question. When you initially experienced misfire was it at idle or all the time? Was it smooth at high rpm’s?


I made another thread about my 6.0 misfire on cylinder 7. I really really thought I had it fixed but here I am again looking for answers to fix mine. I just can’t pull the trigger on pulling heads and having the van down for a few days as it’s my work van.

It was very noticeable as soon as it happened. I limped along for a block to a parking lot but it really wasn’t drivable.

Mine misses at idle. I’ve pretty much gone through all the steps you did and then some. Can’t figure it out… that’s why I’m compelled to start tearing into the engine but I really can’t wrap my head around it being at idle only if it’s something mechanical. I feel like it should be all the time like you experienced

I see where you said it was cylinder 7. I figured if moving around plugs, wires, coils, and fuel injectors and the miss stays at the same cylinder then it is probably mechanical
