I have always ran clean filters and my bhaf is new, I think its just the crappy cell phone pic because it doesnt feel dirty or come off on my fingers.

While changing the oil today I had my filter off and noticed something odd. I cant remember if I have noticed this before but there are no nicks in the blades and it has no in and out movement and very little side to side. It spins freely fine and builds boost as it should but as you can see there is a chunk of metal missing right behind the nut.

Just changed my oil and filter today at 6k miles. I am running bigger injectors so I wanted to make sure its not getting to sooted up. I did catch an oil sample to go to Blackstone tomorrow to see how the old truck is doing.

I also have di pricol but they are out of business so I recommend isspro. Mine is settup just like Mike's and it has never missed a beat.

If you want big get some from contagious diesel. Lee can built you 7x.008 ( about 75hp) on up as big as you want. They idle great and perform with little smoke, his prices are unbeatable.

I got a 1688 this morning. Second times its happened in a year and a half. I cleared it and it hasnt come back yet but only time will tell.

You have to remember that all tire manufacturers are gonna be a little different size to size. You can calculate the sizes but that really only gives you an idea.

My truck had 305/70/16 on it when I got it and they looked/fit good and I dont remember any rubbing with no levleing kit but it was on aftermarket wheels.

Did you take it off and have it bench tested? Mine did the same thing a few months ago, read fine while driving but at idle it wasnt charging. Turned out to be bad diodes

Welcome to the fam Matt:thumbup2:

Its never good to have metal rubbing metal, especially trans cooler lines.

Air will be out by now.

I was thinking about your shake at idle. Possibly a bad injector?

If your not towing, go with 7x.010, they are 125-150hp. Or you could go with 7x.009 and be closer to 90-100hp. I have been very happy with my new injectors and for the price I have not found anyone else that can beat them. They idle great and my mileag has never been better, it isnt great but still better than before. The builder's name is Lee and he is at contagious diesel on facebook. http://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/pages/Contagious-Diesel-Performance/147994165231032

Are the injectors in your new engine from your old engine or the new? How are your rpm's?

My block has no markings in that area, or any other either. Where did you see the "made in mexico" at?

Welcome to the fam, thought your user name looked familiar.

Nope, its a Mexican Block and stronger than the Tupy blocks.

Had mine there for years with no problems either.

Did you erase the code and keep driving before you bought a new pump? I got that code 1 time a couple years ago after the truck had been setting for a while and the batteries were dead and it hasnt been back.

Mine always went to 110 after setting overnight.
