Default fuel trim difference

What is an acceptable difference between banks 1 and 2 for the fuel trims? My bank one is sitting at +1.6% and bank two is at 0. I thought this was a little much but wanted to know what yall think. I think I might have an exhuast leak but I cant find it anywhere, I've searched every inch of the trucks exhaust with it running.

That's normal , 1.6 % is a very small amount. If it was 0 an + 10% then I would br looking for a vacuum leak or some related item

Yup, its all good. Like Crash said if it was way lean look for a vaccum leak. But If you think you have an exhaust leak.Try tranny fluid in the main vaccum line it smoke like a **** and will be easy to find.

Mine are always in the negative and different. -0.8 and -8.5 once I get into the higher rpm 4K+ they both go to 0 and then when i let off the go negative and are off by 6 to 9 points.I've been told leaking injector or exhaust leak or ignition problem. What do you guys think?

It isn't tuned perfect yet and I was told by a tuner that tuning couldn't fix it anyway, it was a mechanical problem. It started this after th 6L install. We broke a exhaust manifold bolt in the block and had to tap it. I don't know if that has anything to do with it but maybe. I am getting LT's and the exhaust redone soon so I'm hoping this will fix the issue. I do have a log from a couple weeks ago. Want me to send it to you or can I post on here? I'll try.

Is it still leaking though? Sounds like that might be the problem. But let me take a look at the log and tune. Timrichardson@cfl.rr.com
