    Got a problem with the 96 PSD i just got, i swapped tanks on the way home to the rear tank and it wasnt reading right after i topped it off. SO decided to swap back to the front tank, then after that it starts bogging down (sounding kinda like an exhaust brake) when i was under steady throttle under 70mph. when you give it some more pedal and the boost comes up it goes away and seems to run fine..

    I stopped for a bathroom break later down the road and it sat for about 5-10 mins and ran fine after that when i started it back up.

    Could it be dirty fuel in the rear tank ? i dont know how long it was in there but i added some additive to it before i put like 1 gallon in and it was full.

    Tried swapping to the rear tank a few more times with the same results.

    mods are:
    Edge Evolution set on L2-race
    5" exhaust
    cold air intake

    did you run the tank out of fuel,i ran my tank until it started boggin down,then i switched tanks and it kept boggin for around 20 seconds,maybe you were just about to run out when you switched,maybe?

    nope wasnt running out of fuel.. was a full tank and after i switched back to the front tank it still was doing it for the next 50 miles untill i stopped and shut the truck off.

    also did it this morning when i took the kid to school, went to the insurance agent and came back out and started it up and it drove fine after that
