That said, the truck will run using the "ear" method, just don't expect to get the best power or fuel efficiency out of it. Given the price of diesel, you could easily pay for the tools time the truck correctly with the savings in fuel if the truck was timed far enough out and left that way for a few years.

factory stock timing.....who does that!! Seriously though, it usually takes me a few tries at getting max power with no smoke but it can easily be done. With the tool, what do you do? set the timing, then adjust right. Well what is different than a few miles down the road and a bent 9/16" wrench? My old ip has had new injectors in it for over 7 months now and still kicking but it is failing so in a week or so it is getting replaced. That will be nice!

How far exactly you have it advanced. I'm running 10º advance now @ 2000 (pulse method) rpm on a brand new pump. It will take a few thousand miles before I know if I’m happy with that setting.
Factory timing using the pulse method is 8.5º BTDC ±1º. I guess I’m lost as to why you think the stock setting is such a poor choice given you lack the equipment to know where you are in relation to it.
Flame bait aside, you can time the IP fairly close without the tooling, but it will take longer and you may never get there.

I guess i cant see how you missed the smiley rolling around on my post haha. I have no idea where i am on the timing scale, not a friggin clue but my mileage clocking in at an average 16mpg's nearly zero smoke but a puff o black at start up tells me i am above average. So is my timing stock, probably not, would i have a problem timing it to stock with tools, nope. But do have a problem with the prices this island community that thinks 300+ bucks is what it takes to time a 7.3 idi. Nothin but love for you man, no flame here haha, well except for this...

"injector install kit"
also commonly called:
"return lines"
and you may find that the injectors are not what is leaking.
otherwise,your going to be disappointed really fast,when you find out,you caused more leaks,rather than cured a couple.
oh.by the way.i see 40 bucks a pop earns the "mad" face.
this may make you smile.
