Ok, so I took my truck in for this awhile ago, and I still hear it....i think its very odd... When I accelerate (usually somewhat hard acceleration), I get a rumbling noise...its sounds bad....anyone else get this?
 






well my first impression would be that maybe your tranny is putting the car in a lower gear then the rpms can handle, but if your excelerating hard that obviously wouldn't be it, unless under WOT your not going anywhere fast.
 






Sounds like an intake leak....check that.

With a KKM intake you will get a rumble sound under accelleration. It does that because it is out of the stock airbox which muffles the noise normally.
