hello guys, I'm on my 6th tank of gas and i am getting jumping when the truck is at idle. i have tried what the guy in the video said, adjust the needle and go for a run and check it again. i have noticed improvement, sometimes it goes away and somtimes it comes back. if i can't get this solved with needle adjustments is it something that will go away as the motor matures?:\:\

Once it's broke-in completely and tuned well and idling good, it will mostly go away but still occasionally show up uptil you retune it again.
It's from the internal clutch on the trans that's supposed to help protect the gears when trying to switch back and forth from forward to reverse. The question is how much do you like/want reverse?
If you do a forward only conversion(foc) this problem disappears 100% and makes the truck much more enjoyable IMO. More forgiviing on idle and tune and better take off accelleration.

Yep. Depending on which rig you have, I believe you can get a forward only conversion (FOC) for either the old school maxx or the newer ones.
