He's who I got the rebuilt pump from. ;-)That's talking about your old injector pump. I think that he missed the newly rebuilt injector pump part.

The problem here is that none of us except for you can lay our hands on your truck. If we can't see what it's doing for ourselves, then we can't help very well with the smallest things.Jeez.
You all taught this newbie where to start and who to get my parts and tools from and I seem to be getting it close and then no advice to get me across the finish line. :-(
Based on all I've read that's what you want for a normal operating truck. I'd keep working with the fuel and checking the timing as you go. At least, if I was working on my truck that's what I'd do. It sounds like you're engine is mechanically sound, you're just down to fine tuning.I've read that timing should be between 8.5-9.5
Is it ok to go higher than 9.5 ? How much is too much?
Tune the grey smoke out and have it where it is occasionally black under heavy load and you are good. AFR doesn’t really matter in diesels so that kind of load tuning with the black smoke you can use an EGT gauge.Jeez.

I don't know weather to advance the timing more than 9.3 or bring the fuel back up a bit.Tune the grey smoke out and have it where it is occasionally black under heavy load and you are good.
