Well I'm going to pull the injector in the morning. If there is no noticeable damage, I'm going to swap the #3 and #1 injectors to see if it starts leaking on the #1 cylinder. If it does, I'll know it's the injector that's bad. If not... Then something with the glow plugs. Kinda sucks. These injectors only have 40k on them. :(

I really think it is. Jordan, his nitrous kit, stock trans and "shorty" stacks made this truck a bitch to work with. I've shown it a path of 11's, but gah damn! Shit keeps compounding.

OUCH!!! Haha the motor is all new. As well as trans/front suspension and shocks and other things that count. The injectors are SoCal 60% overs with less than 40k on them. So idk what's up with that. Shit end of the stick I suppose.

I'm thinking a jet engine in the bed with a bunch of bungees will eventually get me the ET I'm after. :)

This is funny you should mention this. I was at an event about 5 years ago in Indiana. After the races we all went to some industrial building for a big after race get together. I have never seen so much mayhem, people where doing doughnuts (inches from the crowd) tug a war and even saw a guy with a ford truck with guess what??

He had a jet turbine setting in his bed with tie downs holding it down :rofl: He made a few passes and i could of sworn it was going to take off right out of this bed.. One of the more crazy things I have ever seen...

Pat, I'm sure I could find the guy if you are serious....LOL

Make sure you check the tip. A guy up here just had a similar problem, bad fuel leak. Tip had come loose, re-torqued it, good to go. However his would run, your tip would have almost had to fall off to loose that much fuel. Anyways worth a shot. Torque is 50 ft lbs. 15mm deep socket.

Well I took the #3 injector out (the one that was leaking) and swapped it with the #7 injector (known good) the fuel leak went away. However... The truck still won't start. I'm going to try to aquifer a V2 here shortly and make some logs of the truck as I crank it. At this point, I'm fresh out of ideas.

The injectors looked fine to me. The #3 was a little more gummed up looking than the #7 injector. But it didn't look like anything to be concerned about. I cleaned them up with some diesel before I swapped them.
