Arrow OK, i think i got a problem with new motor

Couple issues actually...

#1. When the truck is at low rpms or in first gear and i go to accelerate the motor seems to bog down, almost like the truck has bad gas in it, it will sputter momentarily then come back to life. Dunno what's causing that...

#2. I noticed while washing my truck that there is a huge gash in the bumper that i missed when i was looking the truck over at the dealer. More bs for me to deal with tomorrow, i love it...

was your gas tank full?

I've heard of dealers putting in low octane gas in the L's

No, had a little less than half a tank left. Went to sunoco and filled up with 94 to see if it will eventually go away. I took it on the highway and same problem was happening, when i back off the gas at around 65mph the thing starts bogging and jerking, similar to keeping over drive on at around 60mph with my chip installed. I have no idea what the problem is. I basically come to the conclusion if i gotta keep dealing with this type of *****, going back & forth to the dealer I might as well trade it for a 2001.

your computer was reset by having the power disconnected. Bet some good fuel and then go drive it. It takes about 150 miles to dial back in to the new injectors and weather. It is most likely confused right now.

Hope this helps
