Message: [QUOTE="Charles, post: 1310764, member: 103"] Right now the truck idles really, really well except if I come to a stop after pushing it hard, then it gets a little "lappy". Not really shaking the truck around, just doesn't have that same uniformity. It's something that I could get with some time, but I starting this file from dead scratch, and I've only actually tuned on it for maybe 3 hours, off and on about 5 times just pulling over on my way somewhere real quick. If you let it sit still at idle for say 30 seconds or so, it will get so smooth that it gets into that low harmonic vibration like you feel next to a dumptruck or something, where the pictures on the wall in the building next to the truck seem like they're vibrating, lol. Like you start feeling a low harmonic vibration running through the truck. For me.... that's when it's nailed. Now I still have something going on with temp modifiers because the other day my pulsewidth went noticeably up on a warm day and my idle gets weird when it's hot out. I don't think it the oil temp physically, I think it's the program. I've felt both and this feels like it's 80% program, 20% hot oil. Idle smoke is no good for me right now. That's why I want to look at Dave's files when I get a minute and see what I can gather there. I've simply never cared before. Now that I have to sit at daycare with kids walking past the back of the truck I need to iron that out. Unless I'm driving and keeping heat in the motor I pretty much have a haze when it's sitting and cold. But.... I haven't yet [i]tried[/i] to fix that. Just haven't had a free second. [/QUOTE]
