Is it fixed? .....

Kinda. Yes its back to its previous power. But now its got a horrendous "knock"(enough to annoy the hell out of me), which I "think" is coming from the injection pump. They put the new pump on and it was doing the same things, so I had an electronic gremlin in there. They finally unhooked my PE COMP (which i mentioned from the "start" to unhook, in the beginning they only unhooked the pump wire and the boost connection, forgot bout the data link. And I told them about my high idler plugged into the the throttle position. I told them to remove that too for diagnosis. Well they swapped out the pumps and it still did it, so THEN they unhooked everything like I had orginally asked before hand..... and it "Worked". So they put my pump back on there and agreed to charge me about half the labor since it was partly thier goofup. That way i didn't have to "buy" the pump.



So currently running with my idler unplugged and my comp unplugged. Its kinda interesting to feel the fuel cut back around 25psi or so. So basically just running my injectors for power right now.



Waiting for my B1 turbo to get here, so when that and a new exhaust goes on (old one still covered with oil) I will figure out which of the two was causing my troubles.



So like I said... . its "kinda" fixed, I'll take it to KC and dyno it and see where it stands.

I work for Union Pacific Railroad... as a train dispatcher.



Considering each coal train has at least 6 AC locomotives each (at 2 million a pop) and then the manifest I run generally have 8 to 10 AC locomotives (taking to Grand Junction to be used on coal loads returning towards Denver). So each train I run is generally worth 12 to 20 million in "power" alone, thats not counting the cars (coal cars can be exspensive), the lading, or more importantly the crew members moving the train. This is also not counting the 3 or 4 BNSF trains I run along with my trains.



And of course thats not counting the enviromental impact if it was "my fault" a hazardous material train dumped it self in the river, or on a small town.
