7.3 question

Hello, i am new to the diesel world... I have a 2000 super duty with a 7.3 i was messing around with it (doing a burnout) and let off the gas and the truck stalled... My question is why, is something wrong or was it because i let off the gas??? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I would say its because you let off the gas pedal! If you install a diesel pedal in that bad boy, problem solved

Jokes, welcome to FTE!

Any chance the torque converter is staying locked long enough to stall the engine?
