yep..misfiring. Call jesse, tell him you have misfiring in your tune. See if he can straighten you out.

hey gtosilverad, this is kinda off the topic but where you at HRP this past friday? jw, I saw a truck just like yours out there. Im goin out there this friday too to get some new times, PE wasn't enabled in my last tune so i never entered it until just before I trapped.

ne ways,
good luck with the tune, and fix that misfire fast w/e is causing it.

may have to do the crank relearn, is that the only code it was throwing was the misfiring? when i did the 02 pcm upgrade i had to do this, it was showing misfires and w/e the crank relearn code is.

yulp....go ahead and get the crank relearn done, it cleared both of mine (misfires and crank relearn) when i got it done. Whatever you do try to find somebody that has a good scanner and dont take it to the dealership. It takes all of 2 minutes to do and the dealership charges a full hour of labor. around here its $70 per hour----i pretty much told the manager he was crazy and walked out and took it to my mechanic.

yeh it should, no **** it may not even take 2 min maybe 1 all you do is hit start on the scanner and rev to 4k rpm and it will sound like it hits the rev limiter or something and thats it. oh and btw i had to explain to the dealership what i needed done and why, that turned into a big "hell no your touchin my truck".
