Re:ENGINE DIES
mine does that very thing. I dont think its my idle though. THe truck clanks real bad when i put in in gear. Its much worse in reverse. I think if i raised my idle, the clank would get worse. IT idles about 900 or so in park about 600 in gear.

It's my pot and I'll stir it if I want to. If you're not careful, I'll stir your's as well!
Re:ENGINE DIES
1ST CUMNZ, Also think that your idle could be too low. Not sure on your model but am guessing it should be around 900 rpm.<br>bigbaddiesel: what happens if you hold the brake on, put it in drive and then shift it to reverse? Does this make the clunk sound louder?

Re:ENGINE DIES
bigbaddiesel<br>You might want to check the band adjustment. It is easy to adjust on the outside. Loosen the lock nut about 3 turns; tighten the adjuster to 72 inch pounds, and then back off 1 1/2 to 1 7/8 turns.
