Welcome to FTE! You've come to the right place to find answers, but you'll have to provide more detail than that! What's a lope?

If you want a lope tune River City Diesel is the only one with one but a lope tune has been know to let fuel wash down the cylinders when used for extended use.

It's basically just a choppy idle, like a big block with a cam in it. It sounds cool but like weekendwarrior said its not very good for the engine.

Sounds like he's got an engine problem. NO WAY I'd have my truck sounding like that. I've driven diesel trucks for a few years, and some were much bigger than Ford SDs. The only ones that ever sounded like that were the ones with injection problems.

LOL, Lope is more related to the racing side of diesels. I like it sounds bad @$$ to me, you just need to have more of a racing back ground to appreciate it

Most of the 1000+ hp pulling trucks idle like that as well. I think it sounds sweet

Interesting. Not to drag this too far off topic, but can someone find a YouTube clip of a high-power truck loping?

I would not do that on a stock engine myself. Too hard on it.

But it's just as hard as a DPF is on a 6.4 if not less cause it's only at idle it does this.
