Time for the stadadyne fix. I would try that before you go do anything else

I've got about 30 gallons in the tank. Think a full bottle in there would be potent enough? I suppose I could change the fuel filter and pre-fill it with the good stuff.

Remember I had that really watery tank of fuel too, if the f/w filter didn't do 110% of its job that certainly could have done some damage

FYI I bought some Power Service Diesel Kleen in the grey bottle at Walmart this weekend for the Benz. It smells just like Stanadyne and seemed to work just as well at knocking down smoke and power loss from wmo. Cheaper and easier to find.

Maybe getting the real stuff would be best for something like this though.

I actually bought that stuff a month ago or so for the car it definitely smells the same and helps a little but I not as much as stadadyne.

I think if you put the whole 250 gallon treatment bottle that will definitely do something. They have it at D&W

Doing some reading it appears there are some in-truck diagnostics that can be done from a scan tool, something called a cylinder contribution test for example.

Searching on that I see a LOT of 7.3 'stroke stuff.

I have some grey bottle in the cabinet. Which stanadyne do you clean up with? Planning oil change, fuel filter, some hefty fuel treat and a test drive before I pull injectors. Had one chance to call D&W today and I didn't get through so idk what their turnaround time is for testing CR injectors. L

remember we carry injectors...

Not forgetting - even with discounts I'm still hoping not to throw $350 retail parts at it but it sure beats melting a motor. If something keeps me north this weekend, that'll be it

[rejeep]

just for shits.. gimme the lookup info.. want to see if we have them

[mr.mindless]

07.5 6.7 6sp cab and chassis 3500

the C&C may make a difference, I think the motor is rated lower than the pickups. Uncertain if they use the same Bosch p/n and it's all in the computer (I bet that's the case). 07 should show 5.9 or 6.7

[etk300ex]

why do they do that?

[rejeep]

you were right CC different...

available.. special order, but available

[mr.mindless]

Eta if needed? Not Friday morning id assume.

Eric - common for the pickups to be tuned closer to the edge and the medium duties that are nearly the same the be derated for durability since they're expected to have heavier use. C&C 3500 gets the same ratings that the 4500/5500 get. I think you can get the HD auto tranny in it too but not the pickup. I could be wrong on that one.

D&W's lead tech expects an injector issue, unsurprising.
suggests not wasting time on computers and looking at the actual sticks. reassuring.
apparently they're pretty busy and expect 2-3 days to get through them. Hopefully that's a long estimate and not short. They're open 0730-1700 so I may try to pull 'em over a 2hr "lunch" to get them over today.
