I know your truck didn't break, yet , it's just a faulty part. I also know you've done your homework enough for everyone else on this site. I was just messing with you, having a bit of fun.

And what I meant about Russian Roulette is the going over 400 hp on the piston rods, not just simply adding a little bit of power but more than what the truck engine is supposed handle without rebuilding the entire motor, new rods and all.

Very good point and I agree, that's one of many reasons why I'm not getting the aggressive tuning. Yes, I can top 400 HP if I tune for it - but my philosophy is "Go big and dial it back". Things just work better for a longer period of time and for more miles when you top out at 75%-80% of capacity.

Injector problem solved! I have a mild lope at idle now, but a little tuning will dial that out. I test-drove the bejeezus out of Stinky yesterday and gave him a bath. We leave for our trip in three hours... talk about pushing it to the limit.

I put all my AE stuff in the bag, but it won't be up when we're cruising... I have burnout.
