Subscribing.
And I want to say that my truck has the same amount of power, engine cold or hot.
It will pull like a locomotive when hooked up to the 14k trailer.
I don't think that putting in a different thermostat will make a difference.

Does it have good power up until you hit 70 then fall on its face or does it keep power and refuse to pass 70mph?

no, it lacks power almost all of the time. not really noticable in 1st and 2nd gear except it just doesn't sound right. as soon as i hit 3rd though very noticably not enough power and just gets worse from there. i am going to get it on the scanner tomorrow and see if i can get any real codes or information...

i am running 35's and 4.10's if that makes a difference when thinking about my shifts

Ok, so i got a real, well, better scanner on it today.
ran the balance test, 3 and 8 are bad, but the dealer put in the cps recall while i had it in, so i guess it is time to order a black one...

Using a snapon mt2500
best i could get me EOT to was 84C
Max pulse width i saw was 4.2ms at WOT

Anybody know what the Inj Prs Reg % is?? best i could see on that was a 35 at WOT in 5th gear

I have 2 others, but just guessing these are for the fuel level in the tank...
Fuel Lvl Inp%
Fuel Lvl Inp v both read 0 all of the time... i am sure that is the same thing i was talking about from my diablosport earlier.

Can I find a screen shot of a stock truck running right on here? So i can get an idea what the numbers should look like???

thanks again...
