    I don't mean to sound like I'm avoiding the idea of it. Right now my truck is in storage for the winter with a full tank. I'm running into a slow down at work here soon so I am thinking of moving it into my garage and tearing into it a bit. I guess I'm just avoiding that idea at the moment...

    Right on man thx for the heads up, and the links! I will most definitely pull my injectors and have them cleaned and bench tested. If they are shot, what replacement would you guys recommend. Or should I just stick with oem replacements?

    That's a good point about the tank fuel head pressure and cracked pick up! Thx

    Hahaha that's good! Is there a link or sticky you could refer me to for this basic fuel gauge that reads vacuum set up you speak of? Or is it just mounted on the FM bleed or just what exactly? Ya that worries me a little about the IP wearing over a dead lift pump. First thing I did when I got...

    Ya I'm sitting at around 3200 feet I believe. I removed the glovebox and it's got the original pcm. Is there a way to diagnose the pressure sensor or wastegate solenoid? Or just replace? With those boost values you say, what egt's should a healthy 6.5 produce for a prolonged period of time...

    I can understand why you'd ask that question. And honestly, I'm not sure if it has ever done that hill with no problem. However it's not even that serious of a hill, maybe a little longer than the ones I climb no problem getting to it. And I think the gauge readings are living proof that it's...

    It is not tuned, have always run with original stock pcm. Yes it is the original stock turbo, and is healthy, spins freely, minimal end play and doesn't turbine doesn't scrap housing, doesn't leak oil, well minimal from CDR valve. Engine doesn't use oil either. The wastegate and vacuum system is...

    Wouldn't a plugged tank strainer cause the problem to be persistent? Or could the incoming fuel when I fill the tank be agitating the debrie off the strainer

    I should mention that when I said I unloaded my trailer at home. I meant the cargo inside. Trailer was still attached to truck when I got fuel then it had full power again. My apologies.

    Hi, I'm new here, first time poster. Il start with some history on it. My father inlaw bought this truck in 98 with around 25000km, and I bought it from him in 2008 at 112000km. Dually is now just under 150000km, and I only use it in the summer, mainly for towing my 24ft travel trailer, I'm...
