Revisiting issue regarding lack of power
Recap - Donor truck swap of non turbo 6.9 that was in a 86' F250 w/ a T-19 into my 87' F350 C6 that had a 6.9 that blew a head gasket. Prior to the swap the donor truck seemed to run well & had a lot more uphill power then my 87' just before it blew the gasket. Completed the swap & I can't pull a hill, empty, doing much more than 35 - everyone is passing me - I did not change anything.
As someone suggested I installed NEW & tested Delphi BB Injectors & a fuel filter, bled all the air out of the system, fixed my ignition issues (recent thread, thx) & got ready for the big moment this afternoon - Injectors didn't make a difference that I can tell - big disappointment.
My local shop said they have to send the injector pump in for testing & that would be $100+, is there anything else I might be able to do before I start dropping the big bucks for an IP & find out that's not the problem either?
You know, when I originally bought this truck in 95' I put a 1-ton camper on the back & pulled a minivan behind it to Alaska & back, plenty of power -- I just want that truck back.
