Echodiesel idle speed?? Ram1500/Cummins swap

[Evguy1]

What is the stock idle speed of the Echodiesel?
I just got my Ram 1500/Cummins ISB170 (4 cylinder) swap running and I think the torque converter is a bit tight as it wants to be moving as soon as you drop it in gear. I was hoping the Echodiesel idles a bit higher than the Hemi that was in my truck.
My Cummins idles at 800.

Wow, I would have thought someone would know what their truck idles at.
I googled it but just got a bunch of "high idle" info but no base idle.

I want to say it's in the 600-700 rpm range, that probably depends on if the engine is fully warmed up. I'll pay attention this weekend and get a more accurate numbers for you. Whether the engine is hot or cold mine will always move when dropped into gear(fwd or rev).

Yep, I think my ED idles at about 700-800 also.

Thanks guys, it would be interesting to read the RPM both in neutral and in gear but not moving.

From a cold start at idle: 770 rpms
In gear while cold idle: 900 rpms
once warmed up in gear or not: 670 rpms

When the engine is below about 50° at start up the ECU will raise the idle to about 1100 rpms but only in park and then drops when the engine/exhaust warns up.

Thanks crash68, I think I need an ED torque converter.
I stuck a less aggressive tune in the Cummins and its better but still not great.

My 2015 ED that I had once warmed up 650-800 rpm. Of course, when doing a regen it went up to 1,000 and change depending upon various factors like temps and such..
