Has your truck had the death flash?

 

[sm=WTFsgign.gif] Never heard of that...

One thing could be that the exhaust is put together wrong or messed up by mistake....umm check the airbox to make sure it is on.
What size are the wheels and tires, also is it 2wd 4wd? extended cab? reg cab?

 

Are your 2.5" exhaust machine bent or mandrel bent because if they are machine bent than there are areas that will be less than the 2.5" and you won't have to make anything smaller in that area to try and get your power back through the exhaust anyhow.

 

Death flash is a factory reprogram of the truck's pcm. The end result of the reprogram was less power from your engine among other things. It is easy to check and see if it has been done to your computer. There should be a sticker over the original sticker on the computer stating something about a reprogram being performed. It was done to my truck before I bought it. I will post a picture of what to look for if you are interested. All that being said, I have heard good things about power programmers like Hypertech and Superchips helping out trucks with the death flash.

 

I never knew that. I'm gonna check on that in the morning. Damn...I feel used...How could they?!

 

What exactly did the death flash reprogram?

 

The death flash, as it was explained to me, was used to take timing out of the engine to help reduce detonation (pinging). Results: less pinging and less power. I can't wait to get my programmer to help get rid of the death flash, hopefully.

 

kinda out of your guys class but my 360 with 4.10's LSD 4X4 ,, i can smash the gas half way and my assend will cath up to me sitting the other direction then i wanted to go... i go to the floor .. itll just stand there for about 2 mins smokin until eventually i start to roll foward... and i can break stand ALL day if i want.. just feather the brake and just sit there untill the tire blows...with i might do with my old crappy goodyears that prolly only got a few miles left on them... we will see... i cant imagine a 318 being that much different that the 360 .. obvioulsy reasons but not so far away that it wont spin them... who knows...

 

I would think you should have way more power then that. I can stomp mine to the floor while I am moving at about 20mph and it will flat light up my rear tires. Believe me they are bald now(Again)! 360, auto with 3:55 gears and 265x75x16's. The only modes I have are CAI and Single factory cat, going into dual 2 1/4 tails, no muffler. Oh its a 1997 Sport. So I would say something is deffinatly bogging you down somewhere.

 

your truck is sick...my 95 1500 318 will lightem up all day long with 285's and 3.21 gears in the rear end..yeah you need to take a closer look at your truck
