Your Vp44 injection pump is dead. I very highly recommend gettting a better than OEM lift pump such as Airdog or Fass or your new one will die quickly from lack of fuel pressure. You need 16-18 psi at idle and no lower than 10-12 at wide open throttle. Also the power pucks are known for messing things up. I can’t remember what it is that it does but maybe someone can tell us. Also if the injectors are stock and have over 100k I’d get a new set or have them cleaned and pop tested. And by the way WELCOME to he forum! Glad to have you on board this great place!

Make sure your battery cables are tight. I had mine come loose and made the gauges go crazy and the check gauges light came on. Also it might be a thermostat going out but I don’t know that.

I’ll get you one tomorrow. I think I need to get the valve lash checked as well. Just did it recently but I’m wondering if I messed up.

Checked out some YouTube videos and really can’t tell a difference between mine and theirs. I could possibly be cuckoo? Lol. Would jumping to 75hp injectors cuase it?

Let’s do a video trade. Not gonna be like hearing it in person but might be able to detect a difference?

Finnaly got the chance to compare my isle with another 24 valve. Seen a guy in the gas station and hit him up. His truck idles a fair amount smoother than mine. What can this be?

Haha must be a well loved truck.

So when this truck dies are you gonna get another 24 valve or a newer truck?

“bails” Allow me to correct this? Haha!

I hope to get that or more! Currently at 129 got a ways to go!

Hmm I was quoted 8k if I removed all the exterior parts. Can’t afford that right now lol

Man I wish someone would do this on my truck for me!

Thinking about doing a reinstall. I don’t want to but if it will fix things I’ll do it. It’s got to be a screw up on my part when I installed them.

More I think about it more I think the idle issue is fuel related. Can’t make up my mind what it would be. I’ll get a video of it idling

@W-T Please tell us how you keep your engine bay so clean! It’s amazing! And good work my friend!

Oops I didn’t check the intake cover. I need to test some more.

Need to reinforce my leak tester cuz it kept blowing off but I didn’t find anymore. Pressured to 20psi

I think it’s the seller that screwed you not eBay.

Brand new from DAP less than 1k milesnon them. Yea I’ll crank that screw up tight.

On a side note that boost elbow from DAP had a set screw in the end. What’s up with that? Is it an adjustment screw? Seems wierd becuase I did the valves 2 months ago. Half tempted to have local mechanic do it this time. Iv done it 4 times now and haven’t got it perfect I don’t think lol. Here’s something wierd. I’m almost positive that since I replaced the map I have a lot more smoke! Definitely more than therebused to be I think but who knows?

It’s sounds more like rattle than anything. Does not sound like when I had air in fuel issues. It still seems to rattle when cold and warm so I’m thinking I need to redo valve lash and go from there. I would say that it is more noticeable after it’s warm.

@5Solas Welcome to the family! Mike I might just do that. But I have to figure out the funny idle issue first in case that requires expensive parts.

I think my power issue is taken care of. Now I have to figure out why it’s idling funny. And then when a little $$$ rolls in I’ll get a Qaud on the way! Ill keep my turbo rebuild kit around for sometime when I’m bored.

Need to get that Qaud on the way.

All stock except 75s
