low power on 93

Saw there was already one thread going and didn't want to hijack it.

93 W250 with 216K Miles. I put a BHAF on it, clean fuel filter, AFC to deepest setting, fuel screw is as deep as it will go with collar still on it. Stock exhuast with no muffler. Not getting any blowby than normal, doesn't use any oil.

Pulling a 5K lb load.

My 70 chevy with a mildly build 350, TH350, and 3.42 gears will outpull this thing still.

Towing in KS I get around 19lbs of boost and 1200 egt up a steep hill. Pulling in colorado was a struggle. My EGTs would keep climbing and by the top of a pass I was barely in the throttle in 4th or I had to drop to 3rd where I then could pull easy against the govenor at 2300rpm with a 1200 EGT (traveled accross the state on I70).

Truck gets good milleage is the one good thing. 19mpg empty most of the time. Anywhere from 13-16 towing depending on speed.

Just wished I lived close to an expert on this board. Or is there a good shop in KS I can talk to about this thing. I am in the north central part of the state.

I just finised a complete rebuild of the D70, and now the Getrag is getting noisy to

Almost has me depresed about it to the point of just selling it and finding an newer one, but that costs to much money as well.
