    I was wondering if you can use 5232 and 6999 trim codes together. I have 5232 and the truck runs and idles great but injector cut out test shows that 5&6 seem to be a little short on fuel. Was wondering if I could change just 5&6 to 6999?

    You want to use the trim codes to balance the injectors? That's just crazy talk

    Sure you can.

    Essentially that is what the codes are for. You really should just put all the correct codes off the injectors for it to run smooth thou. But I'm sure you already know that.

    Or just add 50 to the trim numbers till you get the right flow. ..example- 1765 +50= 1815. 5 and 6 will always be lower. They are the last to receive fuel supply.

    I have a high dollar set of balanced injectors that all came with the same trim numbers on them. I have found through trial and error that changing the trim value up does not always yield in more fuel it seems to be random. Just wasn’t sure if you could combine dyno trim codes. The fuel rate is really close and Im probably just being anal.

    Superhauler the trims dont work that way. If it did then wow would that be easy then...
    A higher number doesn't coincide with more fuel. There was a chart that far call listed a long time ago that had the fuel flow / trim # referance. Dam I wish I put that in my archives....

    Wyoguy, fair enough, in your circumstance with a matched set injectors it is fine to do what your doing and really is the only way . Just trial and error till your happy.

    Maybe somebody else will chime in on flow vs trim rates.

    My 2ws has matched set injectors from a local guy here. Runs very very smooth and I run 1000 trims across the board. I could put 5232 or 6999 and gain hp but I do all that with the program in ecm instead.

    The injector codes are on the side of the silonoid correct right above the part number ?

    Yes, 4 diget number.
    Your absolutely right. I didn't read my notes correctly. I only do that when I'm looking for a bad squirter. My bad.
