my luck continues.....
I am having a new issue now. seems 2nd and 3rd gear around 2000-2200 rpm's is kinda bogging down, not wanting to shift. its weird, doesn't feel like the trans tho. only happens when i put the gas pedel about halfway down. taking off slowly or stomping on the gas shifts just fine. 1st,4th and 5th shift just fine. I'm really hoping its not the trans. PO had it rebuilt about 50k miles ago. any thoughts are greatly appreciated.

120 in/lbs is OEM spec for the Injector Hold Down Bolts. Some may disagree with this approach; however, I increase the torque on them to no less than 130 in/lbs and no more than 140 in/lbs. using an inch pound rated torque wrench. You may want to consider the 50 cent mod as well.

maybe it is 4. kinda new to this truck and diesel thing lol. but with overdrive on seems it goes thru 5 gears. I build houses not trucks but i can't afford a mechanic, but i'm pretty good at taking things apart and putting them back together. After researching everything possible of course lol
