    Yeah just noise. Had a tick/knock. Almost sounded like an exhaust leak or lifter. But would go away after it warmed up. When it became constant is when i pulled it all apart. It do really wish i had time to do a new cam... all factory internals. I have and was going to do new springs and seals...

    2011 with almost 370k. first major problem had some rocker arms go bad. The little pluger on the valve side got weak. And have some damage to the cam. Anyone have an idea on what could cause this type of damage? Maybe the lobe and rocker roller having slack between them? replaced all rockers...

    High idle problem

    I owe you a beer sir! Pretty sure this could be the problem... The guts had fallen into the valve cover so pulled it of and found these Had to turn the cover upside down and shake it to get them out. Didn't find the little black plastic part but pretty sure it came out.

    High idle problem

    That makes sense. With all the electrical and computer controlled stuff most vehicles will be almost identical. The only issue I had with shifting was the shift point seemed to be off. Just havent taken the time to track them I would just use the manual mode all the time. Although I do like...

    I will definitely give this a try. I did open the TB up before I installed to make sure everything was working right. Thanks

    High idle problem

    I'll have to check those plugs. It's definitely not just bad fuel. I put a lot of miles on it and have already ran 2 1/2 tanks of good 91 fuel and hasn't changed. No worries about derailment it all good info. I want to do a SC at some point and I'll definitely go with Dyno tune instead of box...

    Front end clunk

    Just a thought for everyone having issues with this. My truck does have quite a few miles on it but I just did headers and when I loosened the engine mounts I noticed that they are shot. The bolt has quite a bit of play in the rubber bushing and if this was knocking it would produce a sound from...

    High idle problem

    I wish I would not have done the bbk now I didn't realize how close in size it is to the stock intake. Should have just put the money in the pot for the Whipple. I do make sure to turn everything of even the radar detector and cell booster. I have not put a charger on it tho. I'll try...

    High idle problem

    I did do everything at once and I agree I don't think it's the tune because it ran good for the first two days. And because when I returned it to stock tune it still did the same thing. No I'm not running a pedal commander never really liked the thought of it basically tricking the throttle...

    High idle problem

    I might look into that. I like the way the truck runs with the 5 star. The only problem that I have noticed with it is I don't like the way the trany shifts and the shift points. I have a good friend who's brother owns a high performance diesel shop but still does gasers depending on who and...

    High idle problem

    How much control do you have with the hptuner. I was messing with my sct and the only aftermarket option it had on the diy tune was a cold air.

    High idle problem

    5 star tuning. I've been talking with one of there guys and sent him a few data logs so they can see what's going on. He said it looked like a throttle body issue so I switch back to the original tb and he sent me a new tune for that and it still runs the same. I've also tried several of the...

    High idle problem

    I have a small problem with the truck idling high after I touch the gas pedal whether I'm in any gear but most noticable in park or neutral because it revs to 2 grand for about 30 seconds then idles back down to normal. I just put kooks long tube headers, y pipe, bbk intake, s&b cold air, new...
