Ok, In new here, and new to the idi, my truck has 199k on the clock, just got it a week ago, already switched out the antifreeze with a total flush to 50/50 mix of FleetGuard, changed the oil with 15-40w Delo, used a powerstroke oil filter, changed the air filter out with a Wix, changed the fuel return lines, o-rings, and copper washers. Also I changed out the fuel filter, it still has the 2 piece. My problem is/are that when I got it, it was running a little weak, I fixed this with by filling the new fuel filter with injector cleaner/lube, started for 30 seconds then let set for 3 hours, cleaned out nicely, but now I started driving it again and it will run great until it gets a full operating temp, and then start losing power and develop a bad case of what sounds to me like valve chatter. So I when this happened I was close to the house, made a upturn and parked her in the driveway until I can get some advice from some folks who know these motors better. Some additional info is that I do not know I the IP has been messed with, the copper washers were leaking pretty bad in the back 3 bores on the passenger side, and the compressor wheel is ate up on the fins, I need to find someone who sells these, the shaft has no end play(side to side or in/out). The hose between the cdr valve is busted, and I haven't had the money to buy gauges yet, so not sure what egts or boost is running. Any and all help will be worshipped.... I mean greatly appreciated. Thank you.
