Typing into blackberry on hwy so bear with me...

Running 3-5 low boost. Suddenly now at 25 mph, I bury my foot and it spuuters. This happens inconsistently. From a stop I think I can still light em up, but rainiung so not hard.

Hwy speeds just doesn't feel like it will get up and bark. Runs okay xept when its go time.

Fuel filter 5k ago.

If possibly injectors (orig 95k) should I xcl trip and b-line home?

5-5 t-h still throws the black cloud out... And sputter prob not as bad in that setting

Just a few thoughts here Scott...
You mention it's raining....Check your air filter...Make sure it isn't full of water (causing a restriction)
Check your oil, just to be sure that the truck isn't "making oil" (diesel in the oil)

I don't think this the place for it. Sounds like the truck is still running. Just figured I'd give you a heads up before a mod does.

Hmm.. Black fluff maybe not as huge as has been in the past... Oh I hope this isn't a time bomb

I guess what I'm wondering... If ff, why so fast? If injectors... What are symptoms?

got back from road trip yesterday. kept my foot out of the pedal and have not noticed the problem, although i think it is lacking power on the highway.

i'll change the fuel filter tomorrow or wed, and see if it fixes the problem.

the worst is having a problem that is tough to re-create....
