    I clear customs at Niagara and deliver in Toronto quite a bit. That was 6 mpUSg by the way. I thought it wasn't too bad on the economy side.

    I blame some of that smoke on the big steps between gears. I have to wind it up pretty good to keep it from lugging after the shifts. 1200 = lugging = smoke. Recovering to 1300 - 1400 is much better but I need to wind her up to accomplish that. A winter project is a 13 speed.

    If you know of a service manual in Hamilton that might work out.

    I'm not an expert by any means but higher boost should lower your egt's. I have a factory service manual if you want it we can figure something out. It would help you out if you plan to keep that truck for the long term.
