hey guys. so ive recently been having some stalling issues with my truck. 05 1500 with the hemi in it and i read that you can put a 180* thermostat in it to make it idle higher. ive cleaned the throttle body and didnt really help at all.
The theory here is that the cooler temp richens the mix a bit and the PCM will bump idle a bit because it thinks the truck is still not up to temp. Depends on why the truck is stalling, but if couldn't hurt to try one. That's the one I've been running for about five years now...
i have cleaned the throttle body and put new plugs and wires in it as well. i havent changed the egr valve yet.. should i look at doing that first before the thermostat.
alright sounds good. i got the day off today so im gonna go through and check everything again and see if i maybe over looked something. thanks for all the help
