It seems to be idling fine now. Havn't had any issues with it at all today

x2 Lucas is no good for power strokes I would try a defoaming agent for your crankcase $5 bucks for a bottle might help out till your next oil change and save you $60 bucks for another oil change

Yep the standard Lucas will cause aeration of the oil which causes all sorts of driveability issues in the PSD. They make a synthetic lucas that is designed for the PSD. I would change your oil again. If I were a betting man I would bet you the cost of the oil that your idle issue would go away.
Is this the first time you used lucas?

Also noticed that it seems to accelerate faster and have more power at 3/4 throttle than wide open. Any ideas there?

$350 for an IPR? Where are you getting that at? Just curious. Scheid sells them for like 150 I think.

It's the first oil change I've done in this truck since I bought it back in September. I'm still trying to figure things out with it's performance right now as I swapped from a 4.10 dually rear to 3.54 srw. It really doesn't have the pull it used to, especially with 285 tires.

What is required to put in a 17* HPOP, and where's the best place to buy one? Also how much would it cost me to put it in?
