Seems kind of a backwards move, but ever since I got this truck, I've been able to black out a city block with no problem. It was simply too much. So I decided to turn the fuel screw back about 1/4 turn. I took it for a spin, and hooked up the 24 ft camper. I was glad to see the pyro stay at or under 950*, boost at about 7 psi, and held 65 mph no problem. Before turning the pump down, it wouldve been around 1150*, 11 psi, and smoking like a freight train at 65.
When I got back, I decided to twist the pump a little to try and get it to start better. It was roughly a nickel's width to the drivers side of the hash mark, so I put it straight up with the hash mark. Holy cow, this thing really woke up. Numbers were roughly the same with the camper behind me, but it seemed a little snappier taking off and out on the highway. Overall, I'm glad to have less smoke, less boost and EGT's, but roughly the same power as before.
Also, these injectors must be leaking like crazy, the exhaust has always been enough to burn your eyes, and hazes blue while idling, although not quite as much anymore.
Anyways, when it comes time to freshen up the engine, I think Mel and Russ will be getting calls from me to facilitate the injection system refresh.
