ok so I was having problems with my truck running rough and losing power so I checked the codes and I had a ebpv code so i decided it would be a good time to go ahead and switch to the 1.15 housing on my 38r. It ran a little rough for a few minutes but it seemed to clear up and ran like a champ. that was on Sunday. I didnt get to run it up and down the road as much as I wanted to but i never really had any problems just seemed to take a little longer to warm up which I figured was normal because it didnt have the ebpv. then yesterday, Friday I had a pull about a hour away. The truck ran fine on the way up there but it sat for about 5 or 6 hours before I started it up to get lined up. So after I started moving it around it seemed like it was running a little rough like it was cold, I turned the chip to hi idle to warm up for a little bit then when I was in the hole I turned it to the setting I always pull in. I noticed it was running slightly rough and once I got hooked to the sled I put the truck in 2 in 4 wheel lo like always and held down the brake to rev it up and it got to about 12 or 15 hundred rpms and it wouldnt rev over that so I would slightly let off and it stalled. this happened twice and I also noticed it was smoking alot more then normal. the third time I started it up put it in drive and turned the chip to what I normaly drive it down the road on and once it started to pull away i quickly turned the chip up and pulled it into 2nd and it pulled but it was deffinately under powered. I was messing with it this morning trying to see if it would rough again but it wouldnt it ran like a champ. has anybody had this happen to them or have any suggestions for me??
