1997 460
I have a 1997 F350 4.10LS w/ a 460 that I just recently had a 30' GN and 7000lbs of green oak on and it didn't seem to pull like it ought too, there was one hill that had a curve at the bottom so I had to slow down to 25 but it wouldn't pull the hill faster than 15 in second after the sharp curve, It is running perfect other than that no blowby,smoke,pinging, or anything.I AM getting a code that sais HEGR lean but what does that mean I have replaced O2,TPS,air,coil,cap,wires,plugs,cleaned TB, I DO have a slight driver side manifold leak that started right after I got the passenger side fixed and also dual 21/4" pipes with 20" glasspacks which I hate, can somebody make a logically explanation?
It also won't rev past 3500rpm in 3rd and it just feels weak when you downshift, it almost feels like it lugs better than downshifting,gaining rpm then upshifting again.
thanks

I don't know about the '97, but the '96 460 is rated at 245hp at 4000rpm and 400ftlb of torque at 2200rpm. It sounds like you may be hitting the top of the torque power band at 3500rpm.
What's your truck's rated trailer pulling capacity? Those ratings are for level pulls. That GN has to be a few thousand pounds by itself.

You may want to check for a plugged cat. Also by having a manifold leak, you are actually letting air into your exhuast stream thus causing a false lean condition as your O2 sensor will see this air.

I forgot to ask why the engine is not Mass Air?
It is a 1997 F350 Chassis cab so maybe it has an
earlier engine, it is OBD1 and the original engine
what are those ratings?
thanks
