john mongrandi thanks sir, I appreciate the compliment and I’m glad you are finding my channel helpful.

Amazing !! Thank you for sharing this information, helped me get my idle right on my truck.

I greatly appreciate these videos as I am about to dive into the summit 8713 cam and figured I would need a tune based on videos of the 8718 cam at idle. Another person had a tune for that 8718 to idle at 900rpm but didn't talk about anything else as in depth as you. So thank you for showing how to tune it too!

Great video, and great way to present and explain the information. Thanks.

So I've been trying to get the idle figured out in gear. It's taken me over a year to do so and I watch this video one time and learned about the brake trq mgmt. Went straight to it and 0'd it out and it fixed the idle in gear. No more throwing it into second at stops and backing out of the driveway in neutral. I couldn't thank you enough!

Trevor Burke great, I’m glad this video was helpful to you, thanks for watching and commenting. Just to let you know, after I made this video, I found a different solution to the “idle in drive” problem that solves the problem without having to zero out your torque management table. This lets you still keep some torque management active during gear shifts. If you’re interested I have a quick video about it here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/oIyqltyrppnApbg.html

Found your channel and really like it. I tried to look at your website for the scanner configs and it appears to not be working. I would like to see a more in depth video on setting up scanner configs, saving multiple configs and using filtering if you know how to do that. That seems to be the most important part of tuning and it is always glossed over. Great content! Keep it up!

Ty sir

My idle smoothes out to almost no chop when I turn my AC on, what tables can I adjust for that? Also the same thing goes for when I'm in drive but I just figured that to be the stock stall which is about 1800 or is that something I can tweak? Any help would be appreciated.

I have a 2003 drive by wire LQ4 in mine. Why is there still adjustment for IAC when I dont even have one?

I basically have the same 2001 Silverado set up that you are running I used your video to set up the wide band using the EGR circuit 😀having a problem getting a histogram to work for the VE table I can't find a video, showing the set up to log the VE table I have used a lot of your videos in this set thanks for all the help.

About to get a hp tune when I put in drive rpm drops 400 then gets back up to around 700

Hello, I have the same problem. I dont know what tune i have ! On a cold engine, the engine speed (Idle) is very high at 1800 rpm. I bought the car without a katalysator, DPF and without EGR. I put the Katalysator back in because it was smoking and smells from the exhaust pipe. No errors ! Everything suits me and I don’t want to change anything yet. I just want to change the engine idle setting at startup. How can this be done? Maybe HP Tuner or other tuners ? What do you think about this Thanks 2015 Ram 1500 Ecodiesel .107000 Miles

You will want to find out why the ecm is sensing and looking up the torque management tables before dumping it completely. If it’s just due to the cam, I would update the table accordingly, not completely zero it out.

Good advice, and I did exactly that. A couple of videos after this one, I figured out it was the Brake Torque Management setting that was causing my issue idling in drive. Once I changed that setting I was able to put my torque management tables back to factory. You can see the video I did that in here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/oIyqltyrppnApbg.html You’re advice was spot on, thanks for commenting.

Okay now I’ve got to buy hp tuners, stalled on me a couple times in a drive through!

Can you make a video of the truck idle outside the truck

Hi Randy my name is justin from phx I am so frustrated with tuning my 4.8 L Gen 4 Silverado for Boost I've been built and designed my own rear mount Turbo kit and started trying to tune this thing probably 5 months ago just learning by videos and trial and error and I am to the point where I've had one or two good tunes that we're almost there and then somehow or another I don't save them or I mix them up in a tune and I don't have them anymore so I'm to a point where I have no June at all it will not run is there any way that you can help me out

at 23:06 , does that not disable all torque management? obviously that would still fix the idle timing but now you wont have torque management anytime when driving.

@LowbuckLS

3 жыл бұрын

Yes that did disable all torque management. I later decided that wasn’t a great idea and put that table back to stock when I discovered I could disable brake torque management which only disables torque management when your foot is on the brake. I explain that in a later video I think.

Good man Randy, i have to say your video's are great, im loving the detail you go into, I've got a cammed 6.0 that has a hanging idle issue,im try the russle k method you did a video on and see if that solves it, what province are you in btw?

Corey Edmonds the torque management is still active under normal driving conditions, it will still pull timing during the shifts to save the transmission, this just disables the torque management when the brake pedal is pressed so it shouldn’t have much effect on the transmission life.

@CorEdmonds

@@LowbuckLS Do you think it was pulling timing in drive do to the higher idle that you commanded? The torque management computer was probably trying to get back to the 550-600 factory idle in drive.

At the 13 minute and about 15 second mark of this video I showed what I did with the overspeed and underspeed table.

Your audio gets fuzzy because everything is louder in the truck which causes the mic to "clip". Meaning the sound level is too high for the mic to handle so it distorts. If you have the ability, turn down the input, or you can add a compressor to tame the peaks. Not sure what your setup is, but there is a few things you can do to help.
