Idle problems
Hi. Im new to this site but like all the info i gathered off it already.. I own an 04 6.0 and love it. I have a bullydog, air intake and custom stacks on it.. but recently have been having some problems with my idle.. when im at a stop the idle jumps to around 1100 and jerks the truck (and everynow and then shuts the truck off) and when i start it back up it throws a big puff of smoke then settles to around 1000... I tried turning the chip to stock but it still does it. Could the bullydog be pushing it to hard or is my pump getting ready to give out?

Look around in this thread and you'll see no one thinks an aftermarket Air Intake is better than the original one that came with your truck....unless you go over 500 HP in mods. The danger is: 1. you can dust the turbo and 2, Lose your turbo/engine warranty.
The Bully Dog IS prob pushing the truck too hard too.... Do you have a white residue around your Coolent Bottle? Possible you've stretched your head bolts. The tuner too could jeopardize your engine warranty.

Smoke is black... most of the time when i get in it its greyish black.. 115k. one came up as a blank and another is trouble reading code. "Do you have a white residue around your Coolent Bottle?" No but it has overflowed from the water tank once B4 i had the bullydog.

mine was doing the same thing with the same code and now it wont even start (thats after replacing the icp sensor, harness, fuel filters, and cleaning the egr). i haven't had the time to tear it apart yet and look at it. if its the hpop itself a diesel shop quoted me $1600 plus tax.
