I greatly appreciate these videos as I am about to dive into the summit 8713 cam and figured I would need a tune based on videos of the 8718 cam at idle. Another person had a tune for that 8718 to idle at 900rpm but didn't talk about anything else as in depth as you. So thank you for showing how to tune it too!

Wow. Someone who explains the why and how. Thanks. Just swapped out my cam in my 5.3 to a sum 8719. Having that bucking at stop and low idle cruising. I Haven’t bought a Hptuner yet but I think tomorrow I will. I hope you can help me with my tuning if I need some, I’m sure I will. Good video

So I've been trying to get the idle figured out in gear. It's taken me over a year to do so and I watch this video one time and learned about the brake trq mgmt. Went straight to it and 0'd it out and it fixed the idle in gear. No more throwing it into second at stops and backing out of the driveway in neutral. I couldn't thank you enough!

Trevor Burke great, I’m glad this video was helpful to you, thanks for watching and commenting. Just to let you know, after I made this video, I found a different solution to the “idle in drive” problem that solves the problem without having to zero out your torque management table. This lets you still keep some torque management active during gear shifts. If you’re interested I have a quick video about it here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pL6mZ92j25y-pYk.html

That seems to be the most important part of tuning and it is always glossed over. Great content! Keep it up!

You will want to find out why the ecm is sensing and looking up the torque management tables before dumping it completely. If it’s just due to the cam, I would update the table accordingly, not completely zero it out.
@LowbuckLS5 жыл бұрын
Good advice, and I did exactly that. A couple of videos after this one, I figured out it was the Brake Torque Management setting that was causing my issue idling in drive. Once I changed that setting I was able to put my torque management tables back to factory.

at 23:06 , does that not disable all torque management? obviously that would still fix the idle timing but now you wont have torque management anytime when driving.
@LowbuckLS3 жыл бұрын
Yes that did disable all torque management. I later decided that wasn’t a great idea and put that table back to stock when I discovered I could disable brake torque management which only disables torque management when your foot is on the brake. I explain that in a later video I think.
@smg84988 ай бұрын
i wonder if the torque management was retarding timing because it was initially configured for a low stall speed converter so it doesn't push the vehicle with a higher idle
@CorEdmonds4 жыл бұрын
Alrighty now, You got that idle sounding sweet! By removing the torque management, will that burn up the transmission?
@LowbuckLS4 жыл бұрын
Corey Edmonds the torque management is still active under normal driving conditions, it will still pull timing during the shifts to save the transmission, this just disables the torque management when the brake pedal is pressed so it shouldn’t have much effect on the transmission life.

@@LowbuckLS Do you think it was pulling timing in drive do to the higher idle that you commanded? The torque management computer was probably trying to get back to the 550-600 factory idle in drive.

Lowbuck LS what hp tuner are you using? I seen one at summit for 299 no credits but reading on websites they say you really need that sensor for exhaust pipe to read the exhaust out put rich/ lean? I’ve worked on cars for 40 yrs but tuning a ecu is a little different than a Holley 750

I’m using an older model, the original MPVI Standard not the MPVI2. The one for 299 should work but you will need a couple credits.

Hello, I have the same problem. I dont know what tune i have ! On a cold engine, the engine speed (Idle) is very high at 1800 rpm. I bought the car without a katalysator, DPF and without EGR. I put the Katalysator back in because it was smoking and smells from the exhaust pipe. No errors ! Everything suits me and I don’t want to change anything yet. I just want to change the engine idle setting at startup. How can this be done? Maybe HP Tuner or other tuners ? What do you think about this Thanks 2015 Ram 1500 Ecodiesel .107000 Miles

Your audio gets fuzzy because everything is louder in the truck which causes the mic to "clip". Meaning the sound level is too high for the mic to handle so it distorts. If you have the ability, turn down the input, or you can add a compressor to tame the peaks. Not sure what your setup is, but there is a few things you can do to help.
