Whats 40???
So what's 40? My age? Nope. Half of Eugene's Age? Close. The cost for a 1/4 tank of Diesel? Nope. 40 would be the amount of Boost I made on my initial test drive before hearing that infamous "BOOM" of a blown boost tube. And this was not in the highest setting, and with only about 1/2 throttle.
. Put the tube back on and try again, Blows at 30. Look at the end, and it is tapered and and obviously compressed from being overzealous with the clamp. So I need a new CAC tube. But it would appear that FINALLY i have a motor that runs like it should. My low end is much much improved. Infact, it has more bottom end with a blown tube then it did before. Well I promised the family we would go camping, so I better get off here before I get in more trouble.....More details to follow

Sounds like the last disassembly/reassembly has fixed something on your engine

I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one who's ever crushed an IC tube from being too aggressive with a clamp.
Good to hear that you've got it back together and running well. I'll be curious to get your impression of the new cam once you've had a chance to put some miles on it over a variety of conditions.

Okay, so heres a quick update. Good and bad. First, the truck is running stronger than ever before. SOTP 1/4 says mid 14's, maybe low 14's in 4WD. The bad, still has a lack of low end torque. I am now looking at the transmisison as a possible culprit, though that is not where my gut feeling lies. I am waitning for my new DP tuner chip to come in and see what that can do for me. I have finally got my boots to stay put, and can build almost 45psi of boost, and from a stop, she blows a cloud big enough to attract greenpeace. But it's a WVO cloud, so I am being enviromentally conscious right?
. All aroudn the truck is more responsive, better throttle response, more top end, and seemingly better MPG
. I have driven over a 1,000 miles and have only used about a 1/2 tank. I will know for sure how she is doing this weekend, as I plan to attend the Woodburn truck Races in Oregon.

55-60 gallons is what I would have expected, but it has been closer to only about 40 gallons. I might have to do an actual MPG test.
