bogging issue?

powerstroke451 · May 15, 2013

Hey guys got the truck back today and everything seemed great. I decided to climb a small hill with cruise control on and the truck started hopping around and the engine seemed to bog down a bit. Keep in mind its a paved road and I have the spartan 165 dpf off tune egr deleted and 4" exhaust.. any ideas what that issue could be?

was the pavement rough to make the truck start hopping around or did the truck do it its self? If it was the pavement I would bet it was just the traction control kicking in to keep everything put

I would say clogged DPF perhaps or like stated above the traction control. Was it raining?

Well the dpf is deleted. Took it out again today and the transmission is seeming to not want to shift down from 6th to 5th causing it to bog down. Gotta figure out how to fix this before I go back to work

the 6.7's like low RPM's it takes quite a bit of pedal to get them to downshift

The road was paved and not raining and I don't believe this could be from trac control

They should make something for the traction control, similar to what SLP does for the LS's. Traction control is reversed to always off unless commanded on with the button. I always forget to turn it off.

This would be great! I hate it most of the time.
