Hello all, sort of short on postings as I have had a lot of work to catch up on and month end is hectic in the Mortgage collections world. I took a trip to Los angeles this weekend on the way there I had no problem everything was good, on the way back I had probably a ton of stuff with passengers and cargo and I seemed to be heavily bogged down. I have had more weight and wind resistance then that before and never any problems like this. It was over 105 aalmost all the way back. would the heat cause that much problem? My fuel filter has been changed 4500 miles ago.

Yeah, I'm trying to figure out a way to shoot fire out of my tailpipe like the Fords. It would be cool to melt the car next to me when sitting at a light!
Jimmy, sorry about taking over this thread with whimsical banter, but you kinda started it with talk about spark plugs!
As for your concern about losing power, could you be leaking air from your intercooler boots? If you were it would probably make noise, plus cause higher EGTs. Just a thought.
By the way, when you were in Los Angeles did you have any problem finding diesel fuel pumps? I lived in Hawthorne back in the 90s, and I never saw many diesel pumps. I remember reading that Dodge, GM, and Ford have not been able to sell diesel engines in their light duty (1-ton and below) trucks in California for the past few years.

Man I can only imagine you job ( though being secure ) will only get harder in the future. With companies giving morgages to anyone with a pulse, you're gonna be very busy.
