Angry All of this because of a converter???

Well I installed my 3rd Fuddle converter last week and still getting ses codes. I barrowed a buddies scan tool and this is what showed up from the freeze data:
DTC that caused the freeze data=PO300
Throttle position=0.0%
Load value=3.9%
RPM=885
Air flow rate=10.21 GR/SEC
Map sensor=35 KPA
Coolant temp=82º
STFT#1=0.0%
LTFT#1=2.3%
STFT#2=0.0%
LTFT#2=1.5%
STFT#3=50.0%
LTFT#3=-18.8%
STFT#4=57.0%
LTFT#4=-3.4%
Vehicle speed=1 MPH
Fuel system=#1 & #2 open
All of this happened after I installed the Fuddle converter. I'm not saying that it is the converter, but if it's the tune, this ses thing just happened by coincidence after installation??? I started the truck and drove it for awhile and to check fluid levels and ses codes ever since.

What is ya'lls analogy???

That is very common with with cammed motors. It's a random misfire code. The converter didn't cause that. Your problem is elsewhere.

My truck isn't cammed. I think it is the less in rotating mass more than anything.

Thanks for the input.

Thank you very much!!!

I had the same issue when I installed the small ART CARR I had, The truck Torque converters are very heavy. Replace them with something a lot lighter, the computer would like to know about it. lol
I beleive I used the 5.3 tables for the 6.0, I can't remeber now.....

Well from what I've been told, the computer doesn't know that the verter is lighter or not. It seems that this doesn't matter. All I know is that within 5min of the install, sitting in the drivway idling, the ses codes don't stop.
