I just bought a 1995 cc dually auto with 225K on it. Completely stock motor from air cleaner, squash pipe, cat, muffler, etc. Shifts just fine. He's checked all the fuses and they're good. No check engine or abs or brake lights on the dash.

It's currently at my folk's place as it was closer to them than me. So unfortunately I can't just run outside to try something. I'll have to relay the info onto my dad until I can get it later this month.

So what's going on:

1. The cruise doesn't work.

2. Only idles at 500 rpm which seems pretty low.

3. He says it's got a sound that he describes as "metal rubbing" when at idle. If he revs it up above 650 (which I think is the normal idle rpm) the noise goes away.

4. Yesterday when driving it around, when shifting from a drive gear to reverse, it would die. Unless he'd give it a little fuel to keep the revs up, then it'd go into reverse fine. From park to reverse it's fine.

5. This morning when he started it up, it started right away and ran strong for 30 seconds to a minute then acted like it stumbled/bogged down and died. He restarted and it died right away. Restarted again and he pressed on the pedal lightly for the first minute or so, then it was fine. Never tried to die again and then set and idled fine.

Any and all ideas would be great. Don't know if any or all are related but I'm just trying to figure out what I've got on my hands.

Thanks
