The truck is totally wrecked, the only salvagable body parts are the tailgate and rearbumper. Taking on a 20,000 lbs gravel truck head on caved the front end in so bad that the 2 leaf springs are the only patruding out the front. I could actually see into the block as deep as the cylinders and...
Just found out that the pick up was offically written off today after my head on collision last week with a gravel truck.-cuss
It's a shame as that was one hell of a truck as you can tell by my signature it had a babied/pampered life, however it died all to young with such low mileage...
Thanks for the replies guys! Is there a test or something I shoudl pay close attention too when trying to confirm if it is in fact my lift pump starving the IP or affecting the IP timing......any suggestions?

Talking with a buddy (diesel mechanic) tonight about needing to pick up some air filter cleaner to clean my K&N air filter, he mentioned that I shoudl throw my K&N out and go back to paper filters. He mentioned how they let too much dirt through the large holes in order to get more air flow...
You know you're an IDI guy, when every morning when you pull into the parkade at work and the echo inside sets off alarms and you get rude looks from every yuppy around! Not too much when I am 2 floors above in the parkade you can feel the rumble and rattle of the IDI when she's idling in the...
