Couple of issues

Couple of issues

First, I was filling up with fuel in my 01 and a guy pulled up next to me in his brand new 05 2500 sb ctd with a 6 speed. While the trucks were filling up the guy asked me if I liked the truck and I told him yes. He then told me not to buy a new one that he hates his 05. He had about 5k miles on it and was ready to trade it in. He said on a good day with out a trailer that he might get 17 mpg and avg was 15-16. Power was ok, and he liked the fact that it was quieter but he hated the fuel economy.

Now I have a question about me truck, I have an 01 ctd 6 speed with edge comp, edm 100hp injectors, afe air intake, (new) carter fuel pump with big fuel line kit.

Problem 1:
Now my problems that I have is that after I put the 100hp injectors in it idles a little rougher.

Problem 2:
When I turn my edge on you can most definitely tell a deferents and you can tell a little deferents from 1,2 & 3; not a big deferents but a little. You however cannot tell any deferents in power from level 3,4 or 5. Lots of smoke and boost will get up to about 37 or 38. It will blow out so much smoke that you can't see the car behind you but theres not much power deferents. Any ideas??

Problem 3:
I took my truck to dodge because when I had the truck in neutral with the clutch out at a stop light and when the light turned green and I would push the clutch it would be almost imposable to get it into any gear. When I started in 2nd and let the clutch out it would have a weird feeling like the clutch slipped for just a second and it would be fine unless you really hammered it and you would have a slit vibration. Dodge told me that my clutch was going out. So I have a new South Bend FE clutch installed, problem with the tranny going in gear was fixed but the other problem is not. It still feels weird in 2nd, fine in all other gears.

Any help would be great thanks and sorry for the long post


I know I know smack me in the head but I do not have a fuel guage yet.
Dodge said that everything tested ok on the fuel pressure but I know that they are not the best at testing this stuff
