At 287 miles i drained the factory oil and put in quaker state 10-30. I ran that until 1100 miles then put a k and n oil filter and mobil 1 10-30 synthetic. Guess what that idle problem seems better. Yes my new truck hovered at about 500 rpm's at idle now it idles just slightly over that maybe 550, I wouldn't say 600 much smoother and there is a difference in the way it runs.
I build computer towers and we also flash the bios on the motherboards. I would suggest disconnecting the battery on your trucks every few months to reset the computer. I was amazed when I cam in here and discovered that you people talking about the vehicles computer almost sounded like tech geeks. Flash is a common term in the server/home/workstation computer world.
As a matter of fact I will check to see if Asus has an updated bios for my motherboard today.
I have learned alot from the people in here. There are some very smart thinkers posting on this message board.

Well, considering I clean out my computer often and it seems the vehicle computer works the same way. I guess it's kinda like running norton speed disk, refresh the system. Just a thought because I am beginning to see many similarities in the two.
I was playing with the fennco and the stock snorkle swithching them to see if it really made a difference, well things were getting rough at idle and I noticed whenever i changed the two the idle would go bace to 800 then settle back to 500 after a few hours. I figured the computer was responding to the change in air flow or something. So, I am saying here that maybe resetting that vehicle computer once in awhile might help. Theory is what this is here. I really have no idea if it could help.
I'll tell ya who might know is graphitedak, that fellow seems to be very knowledgable about these trucks.
