Ok, I am currently in Jackson, MS right now getting a custom cumputer
programmed for the new 408 we swapped in starting last week. We put my Dak
on a trailer and towed it down to jackson with a friends 97 cc Dakota v-6
automatic. Well starting today his truck is acting up. When he cranks it,
it revs up above idle like normal, but then drops like a rock way way below
idle and slowly smoothes back out at idle. The check engine light never
comes on and no codes are recorded. We cleaned the IAC port and motor along
with the tb with Berryman's B-12. It was dirty that much anyway, but it was
something we could try. Oh yeah, my truck is currently on the dyno (I am on
the comp at the dyno shop) and so far we have gotten 498.3 hp at the rear
wheels. We are currently running 7# boost so far and it isn't pinging on
pump gas at all. We are going to try and dump in some racing gas and make
another puter that is set up for it and hope we can get a few more ponies at
the rear. The trans temp is holding steady so far and it only starts to warm
up when it is stalled, but that is so be expected. Hopefully I will get to
drive it home tonight. I wish I had a recorder with me so I could record the
way this thing sounds right now with Dual 40 series flowmasters!! TIA for
the help with my friends truck.
