Getting rid of my idi

[Dieselpowerking]

Try advancing the pump by turning it towards the passenger side. High egts can be caused by retarded timing and give poor performance

If you turn it to the passenger side it starts dumping black smoke out like crazy and it gets really loud with the clatter.

I've spent 5k on getting it running

I have to ask, What all did you do to it?

Then that’s not the way you want to go then, try going the other way and see if you can get an improvement in power and temps.

Do I need to lose the lines to get the pump to turn more that way? If so how do you get to the bottom ones??

 

[Thewespaul]

Sometimes you do, loosen the lines at the injectors, not the pump.

Sounds like you’re ready for a turbo.

Those tires dang sure aren't helping any. Nor the bro lift.
Might be beyond the help of a turbo. Lol

I have almost the same tires on the rear of the shop truck, it will spin them through 3rd with the stock turbo and now stock pump

But what size are you actually running?
And you're towing the same Travel trailer as he has?

285/75/16, pulling a 37 foot 1972 Avion triple axle camper. Haven’t pulled that particular trailer with the new engine yet but even with the na engine I could easily maintain 75 mph on flats and 55 up long hills, as I mentioned in his previous thread.

The lift wasn't my first choice one of the drop brackets broke and I couldn't find one so I went with the lift kit I'm looking for wanna 60 straight axle. The truck also has 4:10 gears

I couldn't hit 75 if I wanted to pulling that camper. It has no get up and go. Egts on flats with it 700 to 800 that was trying to 55.

 

[Dieselpowerking]

Maybe it's just to much to ask from it with the 35s?

 

[Thewespaul]

7-800 isn’t bad especially if your probe is in exhaust manifold. You can maintain 1100 without issue.
