I daily drove a gen3 with no issues....
Thats not the common experience. Some people are ok with certain things. Others arent. I looked into one and was aware of the idle issues after chopping the throttle. I didnt care. I never wound up with a gen 3 or termie duals but if I needed them Id be prepared for anything that may come up.
Im glad yours were perfect.

Im not sure Dom. I've never drove one myself so I can't say. I've always heard of people not liking them. I don't think it will bother me though. And the choppy idle at start up won't bother me. We're gonna find out here in a couple weeks I hope.

Thanks Captain Obvious
Fair enough. Choppy idle for 10 seconds on first startup of the day cause me no issue either. Matt has the idle down pat IMO, and those that know the truck know I am very picky. After that initial, what I like to call waking the sleeping animal, his idle is dang close to factory. Run synthetic oil, and change it at 5k, enjoy all the oil you'll ever need.
Funny story...the truck was up at Stauffers because it hates torque converters. Had him send the Gen3 down to TN to have it gone through. Mind you, truck was on point when the converter took a dump. Gen3 has around 70k on it, and had never been gone through. Comes back with a note saying something along the lines of..and I'm paraphrasing Jon, "Carson, opened box and saw your note about wanting the pump gone through with no complaints. I thought, well gee if it's not broke don't fix it. After taking pump apart, there were 3 broken seals and every other one was dry. This truck shouldn't even have started." And clearly the stock pump under the Gen3 isn't feeding enough oil to keep 355/200's happy.
2 things; I believe it's more of an older tuning issue that is much less prevelant now. The majority of those that complained, are those that complain....feel me?
I suppose. I also know a few people who said it chops after its run hard.
I take that stuff into account but as I said if I needed it id not hesitate to run it.
Jeez, edit: I posted solely to say the startup and idle issues wouldnt bother me either.

It has done that, but I find that is more of an oil thing. I've had 5 different oils through this pump, seen significant change in idle quality, and shudder after a long hard run between the different oils. Hence the suggestion to run a Synthetic.
I haven't done any research on other big oil options. Lmao...I didn't do any research on the Gen3, made a spur of the moment decision to go bigger with injectors, and Carson had one that he could throw on that day. What do you know of feedback on other options? I only know first hand of Gen3 and BTS users.
I know NOTHING about bts pumps. Seen em but thats as far as it went.
I have also heard mixed reviews on the twin termies. But I think it might be the same deal. The guys who had the dialed in said they were the only option.
In my world, either of those two would be swell.

What would be the ideal pump to run with the gen 3? Stock pump?
