First off im really enjoying having the diesel, it tows well, and has plenty of power for the hills around here. My truck has 301,000 miles on it, its a 2006 Crew cab Long Bed 4x4 with allison transmission and the LLY motor (early 06 motor) Its a 1 ton truck that was a dually when i got it, it had no bed though, just a 5th wheel attachment, so i bought a single rear wheel axle and a normal 8ft. bed and changed it over (i dont have a use for dual wheels)
problems ive been having with it include:
excessive black smoke when over 1/3rd throttle, It starts really easy, much easier than any of my dads diesels (granted they are fords) and does seem to run good, also it will not go into manual shifting mode on the column, im not sure if its because its a early 06 model LLY or not, i know the LBZ motors are supposed to be able to do the manual shifting, but mine will not even though the column has the manual shifter buttons and the dash is PNDM1
if anyone has any suggestions please let me know, My father seems to think i should buy new injectors since the motor has 301,000 miles on it, thinking they could be the smoke issue.
