Help get Silver running again!!

Teach, I wonder if the fact that you also have a few extra mods that bullet doesn't is what causing you to run a little leaner than him which in return is making your truck run alright whlie his is stalling. You have a larger diameter exhaust piping, the elec fan and the ported tb. I wonder if that combo or one of those extra mods is making yours run just lean enough that yours runs fine. Between yours and his the LTFT's are about 10 points difference so maybe yours is just below the point that the stalling accures while his is at or boarding that point. Just thinking out loud....

That could be it. There are just so many possibilities at this point it is hard to tell what might be a coincidence and what might be an actual contributing factor. I would just hate to see him start throwing more money at this with things like a custom tune if he really doesn't need it.

me either

There are others running the sidewinder with out a custom tune right, so bullet go take a look at their other mods and see what they all are running that you don't have... maybe its as simple as the high flow cats ot no cats.... id still retighten the header bolts and check the egr hose first but after that id look into what others have that are running it vs what you have. You can't use teach as an example cause he has a few other mods that you do not.

theres a 4.7 with the 5.7 swap running the sidewinder on a 4.7 pcm.. dont think the mods have things to do with it. but ill check the bolts and stuff later today...

always when im freaking broke...

If it's anything like flashing a GM pcm, you can't just buy the thing and call it good. You have to have an account through AC Delco (or in this case Chrysler IF it's the same) to download the updated PCM info and reload it onto the computer.

thats a tuner...

O, my bad I just read the link which said "pcm flash tool"

 

[Bad Habit]

throttle body could be the main culprit, or the tb coupled with the larger ex pipes....both have lt's, the fan i cant see having to much to do with it....just my take on things....

 

[Silverbullet08]

got the part jason thanks!

The SCTs have custom tunes that apply to your PCM part number. Kinda like I have a SCT but I couldnt retune it to stock and have it work on yours unless you have my PCM part number. There is no tune on the SCTs out of the box... an authurized dealer or tuner has to make you a file for it.

got the part jason thanks!

Ok good. Glad to hear it got there.

 

[Silverbullet08]

yea and i put it on. look at the other side. the old o2 that i used to plug the other side is no where to be found. it must have popped out. have no idea how that happened bc i had it on there tight... but now that i have a bolt to go from im gonna see a place has it...

 

[Off_Road_Teacher]

You can get thsoe **** plugs on ebay cheap if you cant find it in the store.

 

[Silverbullet08]

yea im go to the store tomorrow or an exhaust shop. ive got to get this stalling to stop lol

 

[Silverbullet08]

oh and this happened once yesterday and today. sometimes when im two footing (coming to a stop) i get the lighting bolt light on the dash. seems like it looses power for a sec but then comes back...

 

[KGBIGCOUNTRY]

The lighting bolt is the TB freaking out because your fethering the gas and applyin the brakes. I got the same when I had to 2 foot my truck before we got the cam straightened out. You will prob pop a code also for it saying brake and throttle incompattible I think.

 

[truckin151]

Wait so you still have a giant hole in exhaust from a ****? What are you trying to plug? I must have missed this part.

 

[Silverbullet08]

one rear sensor **** is open...
