Truck dies?
Over the past couple weeks this has happen 3 or 4 times....only in drive thru's! My truck dies as i move up in line....ill be idling in drive and then give it a tiny touch of gas to move up and as the rpms come back down they fall so low the truck stalls out and dies....i have checked for leaks in the intake....could it be an alternator issue? It always starts right back up so im thinking its not the alternator but not sure. Any thoughts?
Thanks
Steve

I read something similar to this on the hptuners forum. They said it was due to the converter and the fix was to adjust some of the idle timing tables.
Have you had your tune adjusted since your put in the converter?

my 99 z71 would that sometimes after id rev it up over 4k and rpm's would come back down it would stoop lower then 500rpm's then slowly get back to normal idle.....sometimes it would die but after i popped the hood adjusted the battery cable(wiggled it) and had my gf start it would start up fine and idle right....id check that if you havent already
