as for the dodge,
i rotated my fuel pin and broke the banjo bolt. sat for a few days and i cleaned it and filled it with oil. now all of a sudden the truck is really slow. when i take the fuel pin out, i dont see the follower pin popping out when i move the throttle. tried some power diesel kleen stuff to hopefully free it. i cranked up the smoke screw (no i dont want black smoke) i was hoping to get it a little more fuel. still slow. any other ideas? im gonna be changing the fuel filter soon.

well the body is pretty straight, but unfortunately the PO didnt take as good care of it as, well, most would. its slow as hell, leaks oil, and needs some other work. but it runs perfect
