This has been happening with my deuce for a while now. Some times it will be run down the freeway at 55mph with hardly any petal, and some days on the same stretch of road, I Have to keep the truck pinned to maintain 50-55. This happened before and after I replaced my fuelfilters. Just to be on the safe side I had a diesel shop thats done lots of work for me on other rigs change the filters again and it didn't make a differance.
I run a blend of just about everything in this, and just to see if it was my oil/gas/diesel mix, I drained the fuel take and filled with clean diesel, swaped the filters again, and bled the lines. Still same thing, Intermitent power followed by gutlessness.
To give a good example, near my house there is a 9% grade for about 3 blocks to get down to a boat ramp, I normally end up driving up on my way home because some urban wheeling roads, end down there. Some days I can pull the hill in 4th LO with it @ 20mph, Other days its wont pull the hill in 4th and I need to downshift to 3rd. Always hit the hill @ 22 in 4th lo.
Ambeint temps are where all with in 50-70degs.
I know the intake pump is working, I think I had 12psi @ the secondaries.(been a month or 2 since I checked).
Im starting to think its a bad HH, but I also noticed one of my injector lines is starting to leak right at the pump, Its a very mild leak, After about 20 minutes of driving, I parked the truck and with in an hour there was about 5-6 drops on the gound, Could this tiny leak be causing this problem? Either way I'm ordering a new set of injector lines and am debating if I should order a HH while I'm at it.
Anyone else had this problem?
Thanks in advance.
