V10 high idle
Hey guys new here to the forum and owning a Dodge. So I just picked up a 1996 ram 2500 V10 . Was told it was running hot and needed a battery and headers because they were cracked. Long story short I replaced the radiator, temp sensor because it was broken, plugs and wires, valve cover gaskets, air filter and put Mopar headers in it that came with the truck. And the truck also has a jet performance chip in it. I went to start it up tonight and it fired up and right away went to idle super high. It was like 1350rpm. After about 5 minutes of running the headers began to glow red so I shut it down. Now I don't have any codes I'm thinking because of the chip but any thoughts out there on this? Thanks

Was it running hot on the temp gauge? You should be using a 195 degree thermostat. Headers do run very hot and increase the underhood temperature quite a bit. When looking at them after dark with the engine running the heat really shows and will appear red. Hope that excess heat won't fry the spark plug wires.
