I am just wondering why when I start my pickup in the 80e tune it seems to rev the motor at initial startup...I don't think its too good for the motor but I emailed Jody about it and he said it shouldn't do this, haha don't laugh but its like a rrrrrrruuuuuuuuuuuummmmmmm!!!! Mutch more than when in stock tune...any ideas? Oh, I haven't tried it in the 120 tune as I usually let the motor and turbo cool down in stock mode after playing Ricky Racer smokin rice burners
2nd thing, when I am on empty fuel the truck starts like first turn of the starter and it is only on empty when I can hear the fuel pump kind of buzzing while waiting for glow plugs, is this normal or could these two things be related? I haven't tested the fuel pressure. It's got 157,000 miles and runs great on a full tank just takes a couple cranks more of the starter(literally like five cranks more is all) Thanks for the input in advance!
How old are your tunes? I thought the new tunes all started like stock, then as the temp increased they would allow the full tune to run. Haven't checked into it, but that is what I heard they were doing now.
Your low fuel issue probably has more to do with sucking air than anything. Could be a fluke too. The fuel pump on the frame rail should always sound the same really.
As for running your truck to empty. Dont. I dont let mine EVER get below 1/4 and hardly ever below 1/2.
same here never below 1/4 and hardly below 1/2 if u go below 1/4 ur fuel is slaughing inside ur take and sometimes pumps air, ur fuel is like antifreez to ur motor its a cooling type thing and and air makes it over heats causing it to burn up faster..... i think thats right let me know if im wrong please
