Gear Rollover
I've noticed that If I bump up the idle using the pedal to around 700rpm or so, that most of the roll over noise goes away. Is there anyway to set this permanent? I have a PHP chip which I suppose I could send it away for reburn, but I'm just wondering if there is any other way.
Thanks.
Thanks.

How long has it been sines the DMF swap, and how many miles have you put on it sense? When I did my swap to SMF I was pretty shocked at how bad the roll over gear noise was and I was thoroughly expecting some roll over, it's pretty much gone now but it's been about 3000 mi. it started getting better after just a few hundred miles. I think mine may improve with a fluid change, and many on here have seen improvements by adding an extra quart of fluid.

A tuner should be able to tweak the idle but which one would you rather have the noise are a truck that idles high? Cause it bugs me when mine doesn't idle right and u dint know how good that would be for the engine cause that would ve like shutting it down while you have it reved up

I think bts sets the idle up on manuals just cause. At least he did on my buds '99 super duty. It's def noticeable to the ear, but actualy seems to help. His milage went up so the higher idle doesn't seem to hurt that. And it's only up 50-100 rpm's.

Bad DMF can make some cranky noise, don't assume, be sure to check!
