FinFordPower,
Welcome to FTE and the IDI diesel forum.


Short of running it on a dyno the only test I know is how does it run?

Engine smooth at idle and then stay smooth up through the RPM range?
What color is the exhaust while driving?
Do you get any black smoke under a load at heavy throttle application?

How many miles or Km are on the truck?

English looks fine to me, but I do live up the the mountains.

Looks like your engine is doing fine and should be good to go for a lot more miles.
