Default Crappy Idle issue FIXED! (Thanks HeyYou!)

Replaced the pre-Cat O2 as per your advice and boom crappy idle gone! Shes purring like a kitten now!

Changed the tranny fluid too with some brand new ATF +4, changed the Diff fluid and the Tcase fluid too. Its like a brand new truck.


I was having an issue where after a cold start it would run good for about 2-3 mins, then start to idle really crappy and almost die, after about a minute of this the idle would sort itself out and run normal. Replacing the Pre-Cat O2 resolved the issue.

I think I am going to get new O2 sensors on my next cap/rotor change. Plus some Magnecor wires and pulstar plugs. Gonna be an expensive tuneup. Damn Cali trucks and their 2 pre cat O2 sensors.
