oil has only a few thousand miles on it and level is fine. What is the IPR? I smell burnt wiring even in when i smell in oil filler. Why would a bad torque converter make truck lope? as for the injectors i don't know. my thinking is if they were bad the truck would run bad even when accerlerating and this is not the case, the truck runs pretty tough when i get into it. they are original injectors with 207k on them. I will change the oil again this week, that way i can rule that out.
