by will i am
it all started after i put some dirty deisel in my tank. (water)
ive drained all the water out, even threw the lines, replaced the fuel filter, bleed the injector pump and at the injectors.
truck will go ok for abit (2mins) then start to loss power
losses power at higher speed (70-100kms)
and then want boost.
any ideas?

With my years of exprience with Marine Diesels, an injector pump can put half a million litres of fuel through them between rebuilds, but it only takes a tablespoon of water to fark them :!: That's why they have a water in fuel warning light :idea:
Those pumps have lift pump built in too.

did you pull the gauze filter out of the inlet for the injector pump?

its nearly 1230am and my 2month baby want sleep so i fugered id try calm her down and post back.
i decided to take the new fuel filter off and it seemed to be blocked with sludge and who knows what
so i put another new fuel filter on, prime it and take the truck for a test drive, seems to run fine now.
i guess the real test is if it gets me to 60kms to work.

Sound's like BUG dude :|
Better get it under control fairly smartly because though it runs ok and has filters, some of it can reach your injector pump and injectors and then you will be up for a pump and injector rebuild :!: :!:
