[QUOTE="B585Ford, post: 842507, member: 5497"] Well, I would really appreciate some help from all of you smart guys on trying to figure what the h#ll is causing my RP surge. Everytime I think I have it figured out, it proves me wrong. First, I have a gear jammer so I know this aint a TC issue. My truck gets a RP surge starting at 1700 RPMs (usually RP is from 8 to 12k) and going to about 2200 RPMs. It is the worst at 1800 RPMs. It only happens when under light throttle when I aint hooked to a trailer and at about 1/4 to 1/3 throttle when hooked to a trailer. It seems to be worse when it is cold. It seems to be getting worse. I have tried running canned H&S tunes and GH tunes and they all act the same way. I don't think I can completely rule out a tuning issue yet, but it seems like I would at least see a difference between the tunes (it happens on HD 250 and 300 tunes as well as GH's tow tune and GH's regular tune for H&S). I had my truck flashed by Ford about 2 years ago and only developed this problem 4 months ago. I have put 15k miles on it since it first developed and almost all of those miles have been towing. I thought it might be my HPFP getting weak so I tried doing some WOT runs with GH's tunes. They were commanding about 26k and during my runs I would only get to about 22.5k BUT this isn't easy to test with a gear jammer because I have to let off to shift. Tonight, while I was trying the HD 300 tunes (latest version), I tried a WOT run going up a hill and saw up to 25.2 k when I had to let off for a turn (it was was averaging in the high 24s). I realize that maybe my pump is a little weak, but it doesn't make sense to me why I would be getting this at minimal throttle and always in the same RPM range if the problem was a weak pump. It also doesn't make sense as to why when I get the RP surge/shutter I can usually give it more throttle and it quits (except sometimes when I am grossing 30k or more). One other weird fact, it almost never occurs when I am on the Interstate. My guess is because I am giving it a little more throttle but I can't completely confirm that is the reason. When I have time, I plan to tap into the LP line and monitor what it is putting out to see if the surge is coming from that, but I would love any suggestions you guys might have. Thanks in advance for your help. [/QUOTE]
