Message: [QUOTE="TyCorr, post: 898082, member: 1451"] Littlered is talking about the aih being responsible. But ive checked.my records since the last thread whsre he had me convinced that was it. I even reinstalled mine and it didnt do away with it. Maybe. But not on mine. It might contribute. As might the ccv. Jakez theory was the downdraft tube might not allow the pressure to be evacuated from the motor. Forcing it out the exhaust or some damn thing. If you guys think about it, the 7.3 is the first diesel emissions. The aih and ccv are both emissions attempts. Rudimentary in nature but none the less they do probably mitigate some of the nature of the diesel. The last time i have record of it not doing it was oct of 05. Did an oil change, fuel filter, trans, and front diff. I always started the truck and did a walk around, making notes. The next service included a 4" magnaflow exhaust with no muffler and ccv routed to downdraft tube. The truck started to.exhibit blue smoke. Had the dealer do a compression test. All cylinders were over 400psi. Running they were all near 600. Im gonna say.tuners are right as are all of you guys. The tuners say it can be tuned out with timing. No reason to believe its not true. Some of you more observant guys have pointed to the aih, the ccv mods, and other things. Id say all are contributors. I will say either my outrageous hpo or fuel system made it worse. Im suspecting either weak hpo or low fuel pressure/volume was making it faint. I can NOT put those parts back for.comparison testing though. Sorry. I think when someone has their tuner sit in or puts all the emissions crap back on and reports in, we'll know. [/QUOTE]
