I'll be damn...... Didn't know that! I always thought it was a timing thing. Kinda like being able to really smooth out a gasser when you crank the distributor way advanced.

Well then, edit to my earlier post. I have no idea so I'm just talking out my ***. Sorry for the misinformation. But my truck does it too.

I swear Mark, just when I think "Man, I AM ALL OVER THIS POWERSTROKE THING!!" You show up and throw a big *** bucket of "shut the hell up" in my face!!! LOL, yer killin me man!!!

Some day, SOME DAY!!!! I'm gonna catch you slippin'! And when I do......BAM!!!! I'm gonna be like "YOUR TOTALLY WRONG...........for once." LMAO. Thanks for keepin' me in check man.
