Default Well almost made it to 26K without engine problems..

Truck has been feeling doggy lately so I decide to take it out on the highway and burn the carbon out. Well, that wasn't the problem. as the truck pulled up to 5200 rpm it just stopped and missed terribly. I looked down in confusion then the engine light started flashing and the truck started chiming. I backed off right away and limped home.I have a right bank lean code, probably burned up the cat too. Glad its still under warranty. That will be up in a few more months.

Almost 26K, woo go Dodge! [&:]

I don't know about the lean condition, as for doggy if you have the non HO 4.7 with the stock plugs it's probably needing a new set. If I remember right DC recommends changing them out every 25k. Just bought a new set of Champions the other day. Check engine light and lean code probably more to it then plugs. Hope the dealer takes care of it. I have over 40k, the only problem I had was knock sensor went out around 16k, no biggie engine ran fine.

Well they won't notice the tb, its a modded stock unit. I already asked about warranty and I'm good. Can't wait to see what's wrong.

everyone says yes to the power wire but what it does is mess with the computer so much stuff go wrong. of course its running lean. thats what the wire does. advances it so much. i have 35000 and no engine light. but i passed on the power wire and just relocated my iat sensor.
