Found the CTD power cure,this one ain`t no turkey no more

WHEW!!!!! Guys and gals,I got the power. Took the truck to the shop today. Pulled pump,flow tested it,cal-ed it,and set it to factory specs. Then set the TST #6 on pump and it flowed. Put pump on truck and its still a turkey. Sent truck over to another shop and they put a scannerr on it. NOTHING. Back to shop #1,pull afc,move star wheel,some power not much. Its getting late,17:30. Pulled afc mechanic says its not getting boost. Blows on fitting that boost elbow screws into and the damned thing is plugged off with soot. Drill opening,puts it all together again and MAN this thing will run. Mechanic says sometimes its the little things that get you. I would like to thank all who offerred help,I appreciate it. Long live the CTD.

P.S. my wifes Astro van can not out run this CTD.
Oh yea,215`s or 370`s next!
