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

Stop letting off the pedal!! Just keep giving it "Full Throttle"...Thats my motto anyway!

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