throttle delay

[sclevela]

is it normal when u mash these things at speed to be able to actually sit and count to 3 before they take off? seriously my '99 with the 7.3 has MUCH less throttle lag to it

oh trust me im plannin on it... im just waiting to get a vibration sorted out to make sure its not something major before i rip the dpf off then find out i have to reinstall it to take the truck in for warrantee work. thats why i asked this question because if its abnormal i wanna get it squared away now b4 i do a programmer and whatnot

Ya man to be honest.....I really can't remember if mine had THAT much lag or not. I know it had some, but can't for sure say how much. Personally, I wouldn't sweat it, figure out the vibration, and install the programmer. IF it gives you crap after that, its only a couple hours to pull it all off. Either way, GOOD LUCK!

yes, dealer told me there is a power limiting program on her to make the tranny last. you will hit about 1800 r's then she will jump in, right?

dunno ill try it lookin at tach..... i dont think thats it though i mean there seems to be a nasty delay in the throttle response too .... as in rpms dont even jump at first... not just a delayed get up and go response

i drive a 08 550 with the 6.4 and it has a terrible delay in it also 40,000 miles and counting and all of the maitenance for the truck is taken care of at our local ryder shop they said not to worry about the delay

I had the same delay. Tried to kill myself by pulling out in front of a couple of cars thinking it would go, but NOT. When i installed the Spartan 210, it was like, OH YEAH, no more delay or lag. Buy a tuner.

mine's a stock 7.3 with just a few things. no tuner. mine lags but it's just kinda the turbo. this is just my couple pennies but i'm guess there is something in the software just to "save your truck" since once someone tunes theirs it doesn't lag
idk just thinking

I dont have a 6.4 but my dad does, and i cannot say when ive driven it that ive noticed this "delay" its my understanding that the 6.4's being twin turbo and all should have almost no lag or turbo lag whatsoever, im clueless, have the dealer check it out, then get a tuner! should solve it....
