Try this out - I used the Auto 1st gear and had the truck running 6200 RPM
before I hit the wall so to speak. That was a lot different from the 5500
or 5300 range cut off.

Subject: DML: 4.7L Owners - can you check something for me?

Hello,
I was wondering if some fellow 4.7L owners could check something for me. I
was looking at the Power Distribution Center (next to battery) and noticed
that there is 2 slots for more relays next to the fender in the lower left
corner if you looking at it from the driver's side fender. According to the
diagram on the cover, these relay slots are for the front and rear o2
sensors. I was wondering if a fellow 4.7L owner could look at theirs and
see if theirs have no relays either. It looks like there is no wiring
running to these slots so I assume they shouldn't be there and I get no
check engine light, but just want to make sure this is right.

Also, what does everyone's 4.7L auto idle at in gear? Mine was around
650rpm but it seems like around 3,000 miles, it seemed to lower to 550rpms.
It increases when the air is on by about 100rpms. Mine has never stalled or
felt like it was going to stall, but it does seem to idle a little rough
when cold started for about 10 seconds then smoothes out. Any ideas or
comments.

Thanks in advance,
Jason
