Well as of 330 this morning my truck now has a brand new T500 installed from Riffraff and brand new HPOP lines from CNCfabrication. It also came with a cross over line which helped smooth out the surge at idle.

Maybe it's because I'm tired, but I'm super stoked so far in the 10 minute drive I took it on!

New project is going to be a BTS 4x4 trans!

So I'm in route from North Carolina to Michigan. Been on the road about 2 hours and the truck was running fine until about 20 minutes ago. Cruise control set at 65. Then when I tried to throttle up to pass someone it started to surge and wouldn't get over 2000 RPM. Further down the road the grade starts to increase. Cruise set my speed starts dropping. By the time I reach the top of the hill it down shifted, up shifter and I was doing 50 mph. Any suggestions on what could be going on? No lights on. Floor is a little warm and I'm worried about making it.

Oil level is good. Gauge under hood is reading over 60 psi. Sounds like it could be missing especially if you try to rev it. It sounds like a knock even and the whole truck shakes.

I'll look into the uvch. The upgrade is the super duty ones right?

Truck died this morning at the end of the street. Under hood gauge was reading 40psi. Went and bought new filters and a super duty fuel pump. Beginning troubleshooting now.

Know u recently installed a t500 did you notice any difference in topend performance with it I know you still have stock injectors I thought but just curious I'm hoping a t500 is something I can get in my near future because I believe it's a limiting factor at my current point

I think my throttle response got a bit better and I was a little heavy footed when I first installed it because I was trying to test that, but my fuel economy didn't drop any so I think that increased as well.
