That was the first thing I did to my truck when I got it in 2001...Mark

No, no wastegate.

I set the timing back down just a little, tightened up the FSS terminals until I can put on a ring terminal, I also turned the fuel up a turn but all that did was make it smoke like a frieght train so I turned it back down. I changed the fuel filter next. Took it for a spin between each step and it now feels much better and my boost came back up to 30 lbs, I can't tell for sure until I tow the trailer again but it feels much better empty. If it still has the problem when I tow next time I guess my next step will be to have the injectors cleaned and tested. They have been in there about 15 years now. I have always ran Power Service fuel additive to try and keep things working right.
