8.1 Engine Bogging

Before I take my truck to the dealer for them to say that they can't reproduce the problem, I wanted to run it by you guys.

 

In the mornings I start the truck, let it idle for about 30sec. to a min. before pulling out of the driveway.  Intermitantly (not every day) when I get to the end of my street and turn left the truck will bog...meaning that when I press the go pedal the rpms want to rise, but do not and the engine labors to increase speed but doesn't.  Then, after about 5-8sec. of this it starts picking up rpms like nothing happened.  It definately isn't a neutral drop since I don't rev at all...just bog down. ???

 

It only happens first thing out, never when it is hot.  I have been thinking about running some drygas through it in case it was water, but am not sure if it could be something more serious. :sigh:

 

Truck Model:  2002 8.1/Alli CC 4x4 w/ 1200mi. on the odo

 

Thanks in advance.

Could this be the Alli warming up?

 

I dunno, maybe.  Would/Could the tranny keep the engine from increasing rpms?

When the Tranny is cold in the morning it shifts slower until it warms up witch causes the engine to rev higher.  With the engine reving higher and the Alli downshifting I could see how it would be 'Bogging'.

True...I can grasp that.  I am pretty sure due to the length of my street that I do not exceed 1500 rpm before comming to a stop.  Most of the time the Alli will shift to 2nd but doesn't have time to shift out.  I come to a complete stop at the end of the street usually due to cross traffic, but it is possible that I roll thru the sign and the tranny may still be in second.  If this is the case, wouldn't the engine increase in rpms when the go pedal is depressed even if just a little.  This thing goes the other way with zero engine reaction to the accelerator.

 

Sorry, I'm not doubting you at all...just you are really assisting me in describing the problem and working through the scenario.    :sigh:

I'm just saying that's mine does and what I think is the cause.  I am definitely not a mechanic..  

 

Anyone else have an idea?

When I bought mine the dealer introduced me to like everyone on the lot.  When I met the Service Manager I asked him if he had seen in of the HD 8.1/Alli's in w/probs yet.  He had only seen one and they flashed a new program on the Alli.  You might see if you need that update.

That's cool...I can call the dealer and see what the Alli reprog will do.

 

Please don't let that be the end of this thread, though.  I need all the input I can get.

 

Thanks again Chane.

With 1,200 miles on your truck, the tranny could still be in its fast learning mode.  What I would try is this: as you are coming to a stop (3-4mph) manually shift down into first and then stop.  Put it back into drive and then drive on.  Try this a couple of times as you are coming to a stop at a red light or any other spot where you need to come to a complete stop.  This will help teach the tranny to shift into first around that speed.  

 

I had an issue with my truck when I first got it, that I after I got to a stop it would bump...I mean it would feel like someone tapped me from behind.  As it turns out it was the tranny shifting into first at that point.  It was suggested to me to do the same thing as I described above a few times to take care of it.  Sure enough that did the trick!!

Give it a shot, you have nothing to lose!

Good luck!

Thanks, Bob....

 

I will definately try that.  It would make more sense as I can feel that it is staying in a higher gear and eventually shifts.

 

Well, gotta go drive my truck.  

 

The horrible things I have to do... :sigh:

 

Thanks again

gandolphxx,

 

I believe that the learning aspect may be.  I am not aware of any other tranny computer that learns the shifts in this way, but I may be wrong.

 

Did you have a chance to read this bulletin?  I think that it gives a great account of how this thing "thinks".

Claw, you have an 8.1L V8 with 455lbs-ft of torque, do you REALLY think that a cold transmission will generate enough force to stop that amount of torque?

 

If it is in the transmission, it could be in the torque converter.  I'd check into a TCC (Torque Converter Clutch) solenoid as well as lockup speed.

 

If it is in the engine, without having a TechII or AutoTap program on it, it could be either fuel or ignition.  It's kinda hard to tell.

 

I will tell you though that twice now, when the truck has been cold/still warming up, it has stumbled after coming to a stop then starting to accelerate again.  I began to think of the Torque Converter immediately.

 

Another possiblity I though of after that is the live by wire throttle control we have.  We don't have the old fashioned cable connecting our gas pedal to the throttle body.  It's like the Corvette where it has a signal sent to it from the PCM, then an electric motor/solenoid opens the throttle.  Perhaps this is sticking, not getting a correct signal, etc, etc.

Well here's a change of pace;  I have the 6.0L and mine does the exact same thing!  So as for those wondering if it's exclusive to the 8.1, I'd have to say no.  As far as the first description, mine does the EXACT same thing, at low rpm's.  I have to actually get on the gas so it doesn't bog down.  Hopefully this isn't anything detrimental!!

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
