essess Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 Today, just after filling up with the $3.47 93 octane gas, as i left the pumps a car comes out of nowhere and I punched the gas to get out of the way and my truck bogged like a carb. would sometimes do 30 years ago. It has never done this before, any ideas what is going on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilveradoEsEs Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 If it's 2WD, it's the traction control. That s#!+ is gonna get someone killed someday. You pull out of a parking lot and go hammer down and at the first hint of wheel spin, its like someone turned the ignition switch off.

scooter3 Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 Mine has done this a couple of times also. I only noticed it since I have installed my CAI. Almost thought it was fuel cut. I will have to see if it does it with the TC on. Interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
essess Posted April 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 Thanks guys, I never thought about that, but it makes sense because now that I think back, there was just a little tire chirp and then it did the bogging down thing. My truck is 2 wheel drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
