Wow, ok that sucks. Your rig isn't making this easy. SF helped my idle. Also changing my old Cat did too.

There has to be a vac leak in the system somewhere. I don't know too much about the Renix systems but worse case detach a vac line and see if the idle goes higher. Are you able to shift into 4wd. Just trying to throw ideas for anyone can use

Now did you run the seafoam through the throttle body or into the gas and crankcase? I just did gas and crankcase
