Deaver +3 review

[mike.s]

Well, since I'm inside the truck I can't really see what the wheels are doing!

I'll try to describe it. Basically once or twice, since I got the Deavers +2, if I floor the gas pedal, the truck kinda starts jerking, like it's got power for a split second, then no power, then power again, etc...

If I roll on the throttle, this does not happen. I would say since the deavers were installed, it's more difficult to get this to happen. It happened more often when I had factory springs.

I would say they are breaking loose and tc is taking over.

Two things to consider, one is the 2011 and up have a rev limiter set to 3,500 rpms (which the Ford/Whipple Tune has)
and second you do know about pressing and holding the TC button for 5 to 6 seconds
and wait till the TC idiot light flashes four times in the instrument cluster before releasing the TC button?

Ya, I know about that. That's when it says Advance Trac Disabled. But I don't usually drive around like that, because it's kind of a pain to have to do that every time I get in the truck.

LOL, just checking. I don't do it all the time either, I usually give them a head start and roll into it like you say. It's a good way to keep us from beating up our trucks. LOL

Wheel hop won't go away until you put weight in the bed. Regardless of springs. No weight over the axel and they are going to break loose. Once it hops tc takes over cause it recognizes the wheel spin

2010 1/2 won't engage TC with wheel spin, Ford added that in the 2011 and up same thing for rev limiter

My 2012 has no rev limiter but I'm not charged

It sure does, have you tried to rev it in neutral she'll stop at 3,500 same thing if the wheel spins and you hit 3,500 rpm

Mine revs to redline in neutral. This was discussed in another thread in the past dew days too

Happens all the time at the dunes when I'm in select shift and go 2 clicks forward for reverse and am in neutral instead
