No they are not going for it. It passes all the tests.

I think maybe the nozzles are just worn out or something it smokes at idle and acts like it has a big tune when I get on it but it doesn't go anywhere.

The thing that dumbfounds me is losing the head gaskets and injectors at the same time.


The symptoms are seperate. Also the amount of crap I found in the inlets of the injectors was bad. It idles smoother now and seems to smoke less on start up.

If I replace the injectors and it doesn't fix it. I am going to trade it in or say screw and drive it till it blows up. I really hope the injectors are the problem:eek:


I drove it 40 miles yesterday hose never got hard. The coolant tank still looks like crap because it wouldn't come clean.

Do you think it is okay to drive it this week. I want to order some injectors from Pensacola Diesel and put them in next weekend.

They said it wasn't making much boost although it is making 25 right now with the stock tune and a boost valve. They saw the nasty coolant tank and mentioned that.

I also painted the upper valve covers so that probably voided the warranty.:rofl:

The balance rates looked okay with the predator and it holds 160Mpa at idle.
There is no fuel in the oil as of right now

not bashing Pensacola, but my second set of injectors have gone bad within 2 months of my original purchase. they did warranty them but they return way too much fuel again

Might be worth another try now that it is ~more~ stock..

Maybe bring doughnuts this time.:D
