Hello I was wondering why idle is at about 400-500 and sometimes stalls when plowering or quick stop,can I adjust the low idle and if I can where is it located.Remember I am no gear head so I am still learning about diesels.

 

is it a 94-98 12 valve? if so there is an idle adjustment on the back of the pump. idle should be around 750rpm in gear w/ AC on

 

The idle adjustment just adjusts the minimum position for the fuel arm. It is a bolt with a nut on it that locks it. Once you see it it will make sense.

 

It's a 10mm wrench you will need.

yes it is a 97 12 valve

 

I will try this and I thank you all.

 

just an fyi, ive you have done any govenor spring changes, messing with the idle stop nut on the back will only increase your aggrivation.
Im told slipped timing will also effect idle.

 

I have not messed with anything on truck I bought it used in september and only know that he put a 4 inch exhaust on any other mods I do not know.The guy died and I bought it from his wife so I do not what he has done to it if anything

 

I did have the tranny rebuilt and heavy duty torche converter in it.Would that have anything to do with it
