Q: got an idle problem with a 97 2500 powered by cummins. the motor starts first time every time no problems. if i have the air conditioner or interior fan on when the engine is cold - it pulls the idle down low. sometimes idle looks like it might be as low as 200 rpm on the tack. when it gets like this its easy to stall out. if i start the engine cold with no a/c or fan - theres no problem with idle. any idea how to fix this .

about 7100lbs. mine is at 6500 before fuel and driver so 7000 in stock form. a bit less than the new improved trucks. again im just reporting numbers. plenty of room left for a plow is a bit of an over-statement at least for the current trucks. nates concerns over the weight on his front axle seem legitimate. it looked to be an 02 so he should be looking at similar weighhts to mine and since the 02 had a plow option..... -- max join www.devilbrad.com and find out what free exchange of info is all about. there are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty soap ballot jury and ammo. please use in that order. -ed howdershelt author whats the total weight of the truck not gvrw but dry weight about 7100lbs. well figure this....that axle was originally rated at 3800 or so and the rating changed without any real change in design if any at all. plus the 01s and 02s had a cummins w/plow option iirc. again im just reporting numbers. plenty of room left for a plow is a bit of an over-statement at least for the current trucks. nates concerns over the weight on his front axle seem legitimate. .

the dealer wasnt ever involved with this truck so they have no influence at all. it was all dc. remember i bought this one used but it was still well within the warranty period. i also bought mine used with well over 99800 miles on it. i drove it from bozeman to billings and around town a little and then straight to the dealership to find out what the trouble was because the warranty was so close to expiring. i didnt know theyd weasel out of the full cost. how is that normally handled i mean is it ok to have an independent fix it under warranty -- nathan in montana http//concealedcarryforum.com http//1911tech.com http//glockcarry.com now that its on my mind again in the phone call i was told if i wanted a free repair i shouldve taken it to the dealer. yeah right where theyll tell you it still makes a little pressure or the newer well its still pumping enough volume. sure ill go along with that while inadequate fuel pressure / supply kills the vp-44. .
