LOW RPM's (Has this happend to anyone else?)

[Ultim8SVT]

Ok now you know you have a good battery. Now take the alternator off and take it to auto parts store get it tested. Free at auto zone or orielly. I dont like pep boys i never go there.

Well, I don't know how your families are but in my family, when you have a health problem, everyone becomes a doctor, when you have a mechanical problem, everyone becomes a mechanic.

I'm getting it from everyone; "DO NOT TOUCH YOUR YUKON! AFTER YOU REPLACED THE BATTERY YOU HAVEN'T HAD ANY ISSUES SO STOP F***ING WITH IT!"

So that being said, I admit, I've been driving the truck & guys... That thing drives like a dream! I'm going to wait a week to see how it behaves.

I would listen to your family if they tell you to get rid of your Fords.

Mine does the same thing and has been doing it for years. I was it was 700 but it's only 500. when you have the lights, ac, fan the voltage does drop going by the gauge. I know you can have the idle raised when you have it tuned. Thats what I plan on doing. Plus my battery is brand new, did it before and after battery replacement. when I start it cold in the am it will idle 900-1000 and slowly come down as the engine warms.

Take the battery off and wait it out for about 20 minutes then attach the battery and try it again. My throttle position sensor had issues and before i changed it the temporary fix for a few days until the part came in the mail was to do what i said above. Worked great after changing the throttle sensor but i also in the meantime cleaned intake, used seafoam so i guess with everything done the truck runs great and i never had that issue again. Its been about three years.

I don't & have NEVER believed in Chevy/Ford rivalry. A true American simply hates imports! That's me! I despise imports. I am a die hard Ford/Chevy 'till I die kind'a guy. I grew up in a house full of Chevy's. 79,81,85,90 Caprice Classics, 2 Custom Chevy vans, 3 Chevy Silverado's & all those cars were die hard! That being said, I've owned strictly V8 Ford all my life. Beat the f**k out of them really hard as well & they DON'T DIE! Own my current F-150. Bought it with 39k in 2002. She now has 129k. Pulled boats, waverunners, trailers & done so many long trips on her. Best truck I've ever owned. As for my Mark VIII's? Best damn car you can ever beat. Owned 7 of them from 256k down to my current one owner Marks with 64k & 77k. Amazing cars. My wife married me & shows up with a Jeep Patriot. I got rid of that crap 3 weeks later! lol. My sister & I don't talk much after she sold her T-Bird for a Honda.

That's what the future plan is. I need to sell one of my cars before remotely thinking of spending anymore money though.

I already dod the whole carb/throttle body cleaning. I'll try the battery disconnect time frame idea to see if it's better.

I am sorry, but not quite sure why you would not talk to your own sister because of the choice of car she bought? REALLY?

Let's just realize one thing, I have driven GM Trucks or SUV's pretty much as long as I am able to drive, but I also know that import cars seem to be nicer than most American mid size cars.

If you are "A true American" and you simply hate imports, that means to me that for one, you do not know that most of the foreign car makers do employ TRUE AMERICANS in their factories throughout the good old USA. Secondly, you must have never driven a BMW in order to figure out that the interior of a mid 80's BMW is nicer and way more ergonomic as a 2013 Ford.

And in regards to your Mark VIII's , ......... I am glad and happy for you that you like it, ........................ some of us think it is maybe not the cleanest, sleek looking car in the world. But yet again, these are of course opinions only.

My wife is as true American as it can get, but since the first time she drove a BMW, she will not drive any other car. That goes for performance as well as comfort and maintenance.

I rest my case as I do not want this thread to get hi-jacked based on anyone's opinion. We all have different tastes and likes, and we therefore should not disown our own sister.

Keep in mind, if we all had the same opinions or we all liked the same thing, ............... there would only be vanilla ice cream, ......

Wow man... Someone takes things a little serious around here. It's just a bit of sarcasm. Ppl use it on these forums. If it makes you feel any better I'm logged in really late tonight because I just spent the last 5 hours with my 87 year old grandma, my beautiful sister, my father & my wife. I bash on my sister & her Honda because all 3 Honda's she's owned have broken down with super low mileage & she ends up borrowing my "Fords" until she get's her car fixed. It's a healthy brother/sister rivalry w/plenty of sarcasm.

As for imports, once again, I need to break it down for you. I don't like Honda, Toyota, Subaru, Mitsubishi, Hyundai, Kia, Nissan & their luxury lines such as Acura & Infinity... & by not liking, I mean it's sad that they are taking away from our domestic/American car's. More & more ppl are driving the above mentioned cars over Cadillacs, GMC, Lincoln. I apologize if I offended you in any way. It wasn't my intentions. Oh, & as for BMW? I love the car, my mother owned a 2007 X5. Gorgeous luxury, very long lasting car, amazingly smooth drive but it had more recalls than I have hair on my head. It was horrendous with electrical issues. I do research & it turns out they were one of the most recalled cars for that year. As for my Marks? I know not everyone likes my cars. That is what makes them rarer. I love that. Ppl stop me all the time because either they haven't seen one in years or because they have no idea what car it is or they laugh when they see I have a Cobra emblem on the 1/4 window & when I pop they hood their jaws drop. I like to drive what no one else drives as long as it's a great car. I'm man enough to admit their cancer is the air ride suspension. They are horrible so I swap them to coils as soon as I buy them & drive them forever.

PS: Don't take things so serious man... Especially some random guy on a forum. Life's too short, family is priority, not some comment on a forum. Relax, have fun & enjoy the site for it's information.

I really hope you get the low RPM taken care of before your sister borrows it while her ricer is getting fixed.

Well my friend, all is good over here on this side, as I was just continuing in a similar fashion as you had started. So, I did not take things too serious, rather played along. Based on your response however, you did. ;-)

No hard feelings here and point well taken, carry on.
