RE: Truck stalls or RPMs when i come to a stop
A piston & cylinder wall are lubricated through a process called hydrodynamic lubrication therefore the lubrication must be done by a viscous fluid. Grease IS NOT a viscous fluid.

look, this is what the mechanic did and relayed to me directly. I understand that the grease is not the normal cycle for lubrication and it is completely worthless to do, but it's what they did and that's all there is to it. There is no need for people to get so **** over the fact that it was done. It didn't and won't hurt anything mechanically so you guys that make a big deal about the fact that it was done by the mechanic really need to learn to let some things go really.

Hey SStud,
We are not picking on you, but if you go around a bunch of motorheads saying "I got my piston's greased" you gotta expect some guys to "grease your pistons", you know what I mean.

Well when i slow down or come to a stop my trucks RPMs slow way down and alot of the times it stalls. I am able to start it up with no problems but not sure whats going on. i was getting on the road after a stop last night and my check engin light came on and then i lost my transmission. I was not able to go into any gears for a few minuts then i got it to work and drove to the dealer. the dealer hooked my truck up to the computer and got a code P0700. a common trouble he was able to reset it. So can anybody help me out?

RE: Truck stalls or RPMs when i come to a stop
I had this problem with a 88 ford ranger that i had, took it in and found out thatapiston was cracked and jammed in the resesive position and it caused my whole drivetrain to go, the transmisiion ended up needing to be replaced after they replaced the piston. I'd have them check your pistons and rings just to be sure and maybe grease them. It cost me about 3000 to fix, so not very cheap.
Well, they broke down y whole engine and disconnected the pistons, added a little grease and replaced everything. Never had a problem after that. I did it once, but completely tearing down and rebuilding an engine takes tons of work.
it's not a general service, people don't go around asking to have it done, just to have it done like an oil change. It's something they did because of the problem at hand. The pistons were moving very poorly because of dirt build up over the years, after all it was 17 years old and the people that had it before me didn't exactly treat it well. As a matter of fact I had to replace the whole pcv valve connection and have it modified a little because they had it taped so it would fit.
it was a secondary additive that they did. They knew I added oil, but I had a small oil leak and they attributed some of the problems as to why it even had this problem to start, to the fact that there were more extensive problems in the internal structure and flow of my fluids.

We've already given the poor dude a rash of sh_t about it. Read the whole thread, I think he's had enough.

RE: Truck stalls or RPMs when i come to a stop
I know! I have to deal with people like this everyday.Iansramasked a question and wanted to get some good information on where to go and what to do about a problemhe washaving.He isrelying on all of us to givehim good informationhe can use to addresshis problem. If soccerstud did not have the facts about what he was saying he should not have even posted anything. How does that old saying go?
"Better to be thought an idiot than open your mouth and remove all doudt."
What soccerstud posted not only has nothing to do with withIansram's issue, but most likely is not even based in reality, at least not ours. Perhaps he is trying to relay a story that was told to him by a mechanic and since he is not familiar with the termswe use he isgetting it all wrong, but then again I say "do not post unless you have the facts and are sure about what you are saying." This causespeople to get confused and theissue goes unresolved.
Sorry if I offended soccerstud. But I think I have stated my position on his post cleary in mine...
I am an ASE Master Technician for well over 25 years and a Certified Nissan Master Technician. I had no clue what might be the problem with Iansram's truck. I could inquire to my technian friends at the local Dodge dealer about it but again I would not post anything until I spoke to them about it.
I have had my truck stall on me last night and was thinking my ECU might need to be flashed as well. I did speak to him last week about the latest version of my ECU but Ineed to get my current ECU version number for him to check to see if there are updates and then install them only after I setmy ECUback to stock...

OK Vader, the FACT that it is what I had done is the point, I never said anywhere that Iansram should go out and have that done. I simply stated what the problem was with my old Ranger and then what they did to fix the problem, whether every part of what they did was necessary or not. So, before you start coming in and flapping your chops everywhere, regardless of whether you work in a f_cking shop or not, or how much you know about vehicles, you need to respect and read EVERYTHING and actually absorb the information and how it was stated. So, again, what is done is in the past, no further problems, nothing wrong and problem fixed.
