Re: Engine dies when out of gear & slowing down

If this helps at all- I have found that if I give it a tiny bit of gas before I start breaking (to slow the RPM drop), it doesn't die....as much

Engine dies when out of gear & slowing down

Hey guys I just had my mechanic go through and re-program my fuel system, the settings in it before didn't make any sense.... The timing went up, then down...then back up...then the same...down....up 2x... It was all very odd. Anyway, he messed with it and set it so that it drives much, much better ...

Re: bad mpg, high rpms \ speedo and oil?

Not sure you have the issue you think. 85 kph is not 44mph. It's 52 mph and 3000 rpm is just right with a 32" tall tire. Hope that helps. You've misread. My speedo reads 85kph while I'm doing 44mph... I'd have no complaint if it was 52mph as it should be. So how many RPMS should I be at for ~6...

Re: bad mpg, high rpms \ speedo and oil?

Paul- It is the normal mechanical speedo....sounds like VDO speedo would be easier. Is it possible to adjust a mechanical one? I'll check the oil once I have time to look at the truck again Spandit- No pools under it...but I'm thinking it would evaporate, no? I have no clue how to test if they are f...
