After installing my intercooler a few weeks ago, I knew right away my engine could use more fuel. Today I decided to get out the allen wrench and see what happens, well I only got one more flat! My IP is officially maxed out.

When I first bought this truck it was strictly a work truck, never had plans of even putting a turbo on it, I have a hot rod gasser to play with if I want to go fast. For whatever reason I like this old rattling diesel better, now its turboed, intercooled, straight piped, all of that good hillbilly stuff. Whats worse is tomorrow im going to go take a look at another one i found!

I am seeming to have the same exact problem. Except I am in the "since I don't own a diesel any longer" club. But hopefully not for too long

I feel your pain. I do.
problem is, I can't bear to run garbage fuel through a Moose pump which is the next logical step for my '92 CC. So in the meantime I am driving around a bottomed out stock pump. maybe I will moose it this summer.cookoo
there's no chance in hell I will turbo and IC any of the work trucks tho. they're meant for work and hard work only. I'm already dangerously fast in them already.

Im gonna bring a junkyard turbo and one of my intercoolers and a keg of beer and we will see if I leave with the intercooler and turbo or not (insert mischievious laugh here).
