Description of the problem | The tuck has a horrible lag in the throttle response. When trying to pull out into heavy traffic the truck lags more than it should. This has been happening since the day i bought it new with 16 miles on it. If you press the pedal more than half down from a stop you can count to 30 before it actually starts moving. There have been multiple times where this has almost caused an accident. I have been reading forums about this issues and have come up with 2 causes. 1 the throttle control programing is set extremely conservative which will cause this. 2 the one that almost everyone is reporting is that the dpf regen system is causing too much back pressure. People are reporting that when they delete the exhaust and egr off the truck it gets its power back. These systems never seem to completely clean out and all wise has high back pressure. |
