For lack of a better description, my exhaust sounds like popcorn popping when I am cruising and have the gas under a slight load. This means I'm detonating, right? If I let all the way off the gas or give it more gas it gets better, but if say I get on 6 and get up to speed, then let off the gas to where I can maintain speed it pops and crackles like crazy. What could be causing this on a 97 350 vortec?

because vortec v8's in those years suck...
no check engine light, seems to be kind of stuttering when it's doing this, I think it's worse before the engine warms up but I'm not positive
perhaps a clogged or damaged catalytic converter?

Obviously it wasnt to the extent that eric has but....

Hippy if you want I can scan it this weekend for you. My truck has detonated a few times but that was only when I was bouncing it off the governor at 5k rpm.
The timing being somehow funked up could cause the detonation right? From what I understand, the knock sensor tells the puter when to retard timing to prevent detonation right? Maybe the sensor is bad?

our old 98 one ton with the 350 has over 300k and is still going strong... never a knock
and our 99 one ton with the 454 has over 250k and good too
hell, my brother in missouri has a 96 vortec 1/2 ton pickup...220k+ and we just got done doing a major service on it. It's on it's 2nd tranny and I think the 3rd rear end, but the motor is still strong as hell.

I wanna play, I wanna play...
Back home our mailman drives a truck kinda like the bigger uhauls full of mail a few hundred miles each day. His vortec lasted to a little over 300k pulling a heavy load day in and day out.
I feel as cool a fred now
