Got my truck back after a 3 month nightmare of chasing fuel leaks, been driving it, feels awesome. I noticed it might be a little louder than usually under accelaration, but then again I'm paranoid and listen to every little noise. I used EFI this morning to log the balance rates and it looks like cyl#4 is the only one that is alot different, -3.08?? Is this acceptable? I have read that +/- 6 in park is the range but I have also seen +/- 4 is???

Can someone look at my log file and give me some suggestions?

Thanks guys:thumb:

Balance rates are ok. Nothing to worry about until you see some of those getting into the +4-5's then you need to keep a good eye on them.

Is it a heavy fuel smell? It may be that you are developing a internal leak that isn't white smoking yet. Just keep a good eye on it and watch for hazing at idle etc.

Seems like the heavy odor has cleared up???? I filled it with fuel Saturday and drove about 120 miles and it is getting the mileage it used to???? Also I towed a 14k lb load Saturday night (an 06 dually pulling truck) it had more than enough hammer to tow it, big hills in CT too, rattled a little bit but I had my race tune in, never intended to tow, my buddies 01 broke down so I towed his pulling truck back home for him.
