I thought that seemed excessive myself. As I said in a previous thread, I'm new to diesels, so that's just what someone told me. PLEASE correct me if that's wrong so I can stop wasting fuel!!!!!

So, I put some heet and injector cleaner in the tank and it seemed to slightly help. In the meantime I got it hooked up to a computer, and there were no codes stored. I decided to take care of the warming up problem, since that was the easiest, cheapest thing. I replaced the thermostat...

Oh, I forgot to mention that. No, I've actually burned through several tanks of gas now thinking that might of been the problem. Is there a way to check the injectors without just replacing them all?

So I have a 06 with 100k miles. Never had a problem, until I let it sit for a year. Now that I started driving it again, it smokes like a chimney!!! (Bluish white). Only when I'm pushing about 1/4 throttle, but it will smoke up the whole block!!! It doesn't smoke at all at idle, and seems...

My 96

I apologize for getting everybody all worked up. Obviously I'm not a mechanic and don't know what I'm doing. That's why I'm in a forum looking for advice. If knew any better I wouldn't of been here. Thanks all for your time and opinions

Well, I finally decided to do my own research and I found that removing it isn't going to help much. Dont tell me anyone answered my question though, because the only thing anyone did is beat around the bush and tell me how illegal it is. I know the laws, and that had nothing to do with my...

Yet, another useless thread

So does it help your mpg, though?

Thanks for your input UT

Yes. You're right....the equipment was designed for a reason. And that reason was to pass emissions, which I don't need to do. I don't believe I need to spend top dollar on a high flow converter when it serves a purpose I don't need. Why not just eliminate it. I want to know if removing the...

Well, I have no emissions here, so I don't have to worry about that. Also my cat has no sensors, so I don't have to worry about that either. Although, there is a hose on the cat going to the air pump which brings me to my next question.....do I plug that hose, or can I remove that pump all...

I have a 96 f250 with the 460 (2wd). I'm looking to get more mpg's. Would removing the cat and replacing it with a straight pipe and keeping the rest of the stock exhaust including the muffler benefit me? What about noise? I don't want uncomfortable noise levels inside the cab. The rest of the...

It was the regulator

Forget it. I figured it out. Bad regulator
