I have a friend with an 89 1 ton he has been asking how to make more power with the truck because his truck seems to have lost power . I advised him to him to try to find the cause of the lost power before trying to make more.
Today he came in and said the truck was pulling a heavy trailer, and it started loping a little then, when he stepped down on the throttle he heard tires squalling and saw a good deal of black smoke. He thought something locked up one of the trailer tires and backed up only to see Dually burnout marks on the pavement. The truck has lots of power now and we are concerned that something bad could be round the corner.
I know the truck has about 360,000 miles on it and has a different injection pump off of a Grader but it was changed a few years ago without any problems.
The loss of power has been going on for about 6 months now until Today. Sorry so long but this ones got me stumped.:bang Rich
