drclaw5 Posted November 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 Thanks! I will def get some pics up as soon as i get home from work! The main problem is my motor just dies! Like when i am coasting up to a stop light the motor starts running really rough and the rpm needle is bouncing off zero and up to about 500 rpms and then if i dont push the gas it dies on me, so i have to throw it in neutral and it starts right back up! The bad thing about it is it doesnt register any error codes in the computer so the dealer cant figure it out! I cannot replicate the problem either, and it does it when the motor is cold and hot, fuel is low or full! so i have no idea what is going on?

RockHead Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 Did you get the truck New ? What kind of mods do you have ? It sounds like the PCM is going or something like that ....... Or If there is a tune on the truck that could be F ed up ........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NashSS Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 thats what I would say would be to run some seafoam through it and like mentioned above look at your volt meter next time. also check your filter. Do you ever hammer down on it? I would assume yes but if you dont try that and see how it does. If its studdering maybe bad fuel quality or clogged filter. Something definatly isnt right considering its newish with low miles. let us know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
