Wide Open Throttle, i.e. floor it

 

Few Questions :
1) Do you have to remove the fuel line on the head to drain the fuel prior to pulling the injector ? - prevent fuel from getting in the cylinder.
2) Did you change the stand-pipe ? Are they re-usable without replacing the o-rings ?

 

its advised to drain the rail. i forgot to it didnt hurt anything but next time i will. standpipe is reuseable but get new o rings

 

ahh WOT=WFO (wide fn open) lol

 

haha nice!!!

 

ok truck S#*T the bed again. no time so i took it in got a new FRICKEN FICM. runs better than it ever has. i think i am on my way to having an awesome truck.
Being that i live in canada i cut the cat out and the muffler. yeah straight 3 1/2" turbo back exhaust. the truck still doesn't have the power i think it should have. Where should i go now? What is the next step? Should i start with the head gaskets and arp studs or just wait till they blow. i smell diesel coming from the exhaust like it is not burning it all. the air cleaner is clean. could this be a problem with the turbo? can i clean the turbo?

Any advice would be appreciated

 

since you smell diesel fuel in the exhaust I suspect an injector again or injector orings

where did you get with injectors

scan for codes

 

I got the Injectors from a place called Supreme Diesel. They seam Knowledgable when talking to them about the six litre. almost everything they say is the same as i hear from all of you. They just dignosed the FICM so i am pretty sure there are no Injector codes unless they just don't wanna tel me about them yet. i guess i should get it diagnosed again unless someone else has any suggestions.

 

I have done nothing to the truck since the new FICM except regular maintenance and driving it like i stole it. It runs great now. Thanks for all the info guys.

 

Double post...

 

What was it doing in the first place when you took it in and they found the initial injector failure?

 

low on power, 5 or 6 trys to get it running, then would lope for a while before it was warmed up. I did the voltage test on the ficm it was good even while cranking.i don't feal i wasted any money on it cause every time i worked on it it would run better untill the FICM totally crapped out. i wonder if my turbo is dirty or damaged now cause when i start it initially there is no turbo whistle for a couple minutes. I am studying to get a better idea how the turbo works. it is a lot more complicated than i ever thought it would be but i will keep reading untill i fully understand all the terminology and how the different parts in there work before i attempt anything.
