I always pull the same trailer,trailer is good,brakes released of course. It's driving me crazy because i changed all these parts and made no difference on the performance of the truck.
-
I had a 12.7 detroit before this truck,i had no problems with it but #### eld made me sell it.
-
Have you tried putting it on a Dyno?
AModelCat Thanks this. -
No sir, i want to do that but can't find one around here. You think they could tell what the problem is?tommymonza Thanks this.

Sure would be nice to get a torque and horsepower reading through out the rpm range.
If it was my truck , I have a 97 international with n-14 and the new injuectors didn't fix it and the scan from Cummins told you nothing I would have coughed up the $500 and ran it on a Dyno nextChevyCam, Intothesunset and BigJoeTX Thank this. -
Another out of the box thought for you. What if they swapped that from a tractor? The ECM settings would be for a stationary unit and would suck for automotive type driving.
You mentioned you had another N-14 close, you might try swapping the ecm and see if it makes a difference. I’ve seen this a handful of times in mechanical engines where the fuel pumps had to be changed over to a different type of Governor to make the engine run right for the application. -
The other N14 is celect plus so the harness is different than mine. We tried different ecm but same results.
-
Have you checked full pressure when has low power. No intake or exhaust restrictions?
-
The different ECM was from another truck then? Or did they program a new one based off your old one?
