    Problems with truck today???

    just for the record, i have been running without the supercharger the last week. today i was driving to school and i noticed that my "service engine soon" light came on, i didnt think much of it but started to wonder why it would come on. about a minute later the red add oil light came on and i was like what the heck? then i looked at my water temp gauge and it was all the way at H and the truck was starting to idle VERY rough and was jittering. well i pulled over and turned off the truck and on the e-fan and my hazards on and popped the hood. i got out and checked to see if there was an oil leak, nothing. checked engine oil and it was fine. my truck has been "ticking" lately but since i took the s/c belt off it seems to have eliminated the problem, or at least most of it. any ideas what this could be?

    Is the SCT cabable of reading engine codes? If so, I would start there.

    are you still running your truck with the program for the pulley changes or did you return it to stock when you took the supercharger belt off??

    the 404hp tune. i was thinking that maybe i was dumping WAY too much fuel in the motor and was causing problems, but this would lower my engine temp rather than raise it i think. i am wondering why the engine temp went to H.

    Is the belt routed correctly to ensure enough tension on water pump. I didn't run out to look at mine, to see if there are different ways to do it.
