02 5.4 sucking sound?

Hi guys,
Yes, new to the forum, which rocks by the way, but always a Ford man. I have driven GM the last 15 years but just bought a 02 screw with the 5.4
My question is this. After putting on a cold air intake, I have this peculiar sucking noise about 5 seconds after I shut the truck off. Some kind of comprssion release or somthing funky? I don't know a lot about the 5.4, but am enjoying reading about them and giving this girl the once over. I will say changing the spark plugs was an adventure
I do know I don't have any leaks, as the idle is fine and no codes.

Thanks for any input

Welcome to the site.

EVR discharge - put your hand on this deal right after you shut her down - it will be vibrating with the sound - it's normal ..

That thing with the hole in the middle of it -

Yep, normal sound..

Get a friend with a stock truck to stand in front, pop the hood, start it up.. listen to him go "OH!".. LOL

Cut the engine off, listen to him go, "Ohhhhh!"

Thanks for the reply, I would have never guessed that was it. Glad I stumbled across this sight

Ok, i was just playin. I DO NOT get in on these engine wars but I just thought this was too good of an opportunity to pass up. Yes, I am ashamed of myself but not so much that i'm not going to hit the post button. Glad you found your problem wasnt a problem.
