Another New Guy

[Doug Czaja]

Hello All,



As you can see this will be my first post (more of a test), that is if I've set everything up correctly. Anyway very excited to finally be a part of the TDR. Stumbled upon TDR maybe two years ago and have been reading & learning ever since. Your posts have saved me a significant amount of $. My truck, "Snowflake", is a White, hence the name, 1983 Dodge crew cab W350 that I transplanted the drive train from a 1992 inter-cooled CTD / Getrag into. This is my first diesel & I am addicted.



Good to be here. Great site

Welcome aboard! This is the ONLY place to get and give CTD info. I owned a '91 that I ran a long time and eventually sold and moved into a gas truck. I tried 3 gas trucks and couldn't figure out why I wasn't happy with them (a 318, a 360 and a V-10). Finally a realized they they weren't diesels, so I bought the '01 I have now, and drive with a smile once again!

Welcome...

I agree one of the best forums in TDR! I had a F-250 for 14 years, I've experienced more satisfaction in three months with my CTD Ram. You'll find a wealth of information and great laughs here too...

You guys sure know how to make a person feel welcome. Thanks for all the kind words. One of the reasons I joined the TDR was everyone seems polite, knowledgable, & willing to help. I've been reading this fourm for so long I feel like I know you floks. I was a little concerned about posting here in the first place because my truck is technaically not a first gen but the engine is. It wasn't until I noticed that there were several other that have done something very similar to what I have that I decided to become a member.



Thanks again for all the warm welcomes & I sure by hitting you guys up with some questions soon.

Okay, now that I'm in . I have a question. I not sure if I should start another post or just continue on this one. If this is the wrong place I apologize.



To the best of my knolowedge the engine is stock. The pump doesn't appear to have been adjusted. The injectors are what I am not sure about. They "look" like the original injectors. The reason I ask is when under a fair amount of acceleration, 3/4 plus to the floor, the truck will leave a fair amount of black smoke. Not to the point that it will black out an intersection, but enough to make the guy tailgating me to back off. That part is . The smoke is easy to control. How can I tell if these are the original injectors with out removing them? Is there a number I can look for?



Again sorry if I should have started another post.

Thanks,



P. S. Whoever put the spell checker on here can have the 5HP I lost in my last post.
