See with a manual you could have push started it and limped it home

Don't think I didn't think that!
Funny--I wanted to try and bang the starter--what did I have to lose---the truck is so low, and I guess I have a big chest--I had to jack up the truck just to get under there to bang it!
Flatbed driver side this was the 1st time he had to use a block letting it off the bed. The rear hitch was dragging on the street.

Flex fuel 50 lb injectors can be found for less than $120 but it’s hard to say if his are maxed out. https://www.lsxceleration.com/delph...K85wChSKnF7XcFqwonRw8Kp4gKdwvu1hoCVo8QAvD_BwE

That's a good deal! But yeah I agree, the only way I know to see if they are maxed for sure is look at the tune and a log file.

That's a damn good price.

Try to get identify exactly where it starts to lose power. If it starts at 5,000 and gets worse then it makes sense injectors are maxed. If it falls off well before 3-4k then IMO it's not maxed injectors since an extra point of compression isn't going to require that much more fuel. Unless of course, he put smaller than stock for some strange reason.

Here's the new belt. I hope this is the one.

Quick Ride going to get parts.

Those are the ones I put in mine I think. But I can’t pulley down on the blower because they start hitting 90-95% at WOT when I do. But I have to pull my blower to install new ones- thanks Whipple. And then I need a second fuel pump, 2-bar tune, etc.

I'll have to check this on the highway

Belt looks good and truck sounds good to me.

I have some 60lb DW injectors and they were getting close to max too if I pulley down with the 6.0. Why the heck did Whipple do that! I can have mine out in minutes.

Even better manually shift it so you can keep it at those higher RPM and not let it shift into the next gear. Really try to identify it to there nearest 100rpm.

It did sound good. I keep hoping the belt slipping was the cause of some of my issues.
