Consumer Description

WHEN GOING FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE, AT TIMES ENGINE IDLES ROUGH AND RPM'S DROP TO ABOUT 350-400 RPM. APPROXIMATELY 75% OF THE TIME IT HAPPENS THE ENGINE QUITS. THE OTHER 25% OF THE TIME IT HAPPENS THE RPM'S INCREASE AFTER A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME (20SECONDS TO 1 MINUTE) AND IF STILL IN GEAR THE TRUCK WILL LURCH FORWARD WHEN RPMS INCREASE. PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR TO INCREASE RPM'S DOES NOT AFFECT RPM'S WHEN ENGINE IS STUMBLING AND TRUCK WILL NOT MOVE. DEALER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED, KNOWN PROBLEM WITH ENGINE PROGRAMMING. PROBLEM HAS EXISTED SINCE TRUCK WAS NEW.*AK
