I don't drive it hard I drive it like a grandpa. It also feel like it has a lack of power. I put the snap on tool to and pulled a P0708 TRS. Also I was looking under the hood at the lines my number 1 fuel line is vibrating and you can hear a ticking noise. I did a kill test on each one a everything passed. Could it be the injector? It seems to be running fine. It's just eating the fuel and lacks a little power.

    This might be a dumb question. If the injector is bad would the overall fuel pressure be lower?

    That can happen in the case of excessive return flow (ball / seat erosion), but the early warning indicator will be hard starts / no starts.

    @usarmy3224, you don't show the area you live at. Are you running #1 or #2 diesel ? Sometimes the rating of fuel will do it if in the colder areas. And I do recommend using 2 stroke each fill up, has made a positive change for my 06.
