Bought a stock cam MDS delete kit from AMS racing. Truck runs fine above 3k but stumbles and dies less than that. Run just like vacuum leak. used starting fluid w/no results. Not many vacuum lines to screw up. Do I need to tune after a stock rebuild. Yea I got the mds codes but no others. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanklz Larry B

Also besides the tune make sure all your push rods are all in place very common to have one not all the way in partially keeping a valve open.

you just need to turn off mds via a tuner.
if your truck is a 2014, cheapest way is via a diablo predator or superchips.

Even with an MDS delete "kit" the ECU is still cutting fuel to those cylinders under light load.

Any major modification to the engine you make you MUST tune, tune, TUNE!
