[QUOTE="adulbrich, post: 8481791, member: 661255"] Ever get your truck back? Any news on what happened to it? Braking isn't as good because of all the weight, obviously. It's a truck though, so it's not too bad. You're so worried about the engine dying, lol. My throttle is electronically controlled, so that's not going to happen. The computer sees that the rpm drops, and it kicks it back up. I have no problem with it so far. At idle, I now don't drop below 14.6v when cold. Hot I drop to 14.4ish The gas pedal isn't connected to the throttle. It's a potentiometer that goes to the ECU, which tells the throttle valve actuator (or whatever it's called with this type of system) how much to open it up. This is annoying when you have trouble codes and the computer "reduces engine power" so you can't go over 1500rpm and it won't shift out of first gear [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif[/IMG] Has happened to me one time Thanks, I've still got the rims/tires from my car in the garage. Might try to sell those, I'd forgotten about them. [/QUOTE]
