After replacing injectors on a 6.0 super duty, the tech is supposed to drive the vehicle for 20 miles.........WHY?

me either. I say it has to do with the computer reading fuel/air ratio and calibrating itself, so the customer may find the ride unenjoyable.

That's a total guess.

To keep the customer from hammering it and seeing just what those BIG injectors can do!! Oh, we were talking modified injectors, right?

The liquor store with the coldest beer is 10 miles away....:beer:

Allow the computer time to adjust to the fuel flow? [confused]

Cuz a PSD with new injectors is so dang fun to drive! :nana:

No clue.....but I drive every vehicle I can get my hands on just so I can say: "I drove one of those."
I know the feeling. I keep hoping Tom will pull up outside the restaurant in a rig. :D

I've flown a 727 once! :D Almost more fun than my truck. Almost!

Tom has some mirror arms for me. He was supposed to meet me somewhere in southern MO with them one day. Then he went and changed jobs......


Hmm.....

I used to fly a lot until 9/11. My cousin works for an airline and I used to be able to fly free occasionally. The last time I flew was to Hawaii in 2000.

I did mean that I flew it sitting in the Captain's seat though. Flew it for about 35 mins. Couldn't record it in my logbook though. Wasn't really legal for me to do that. lol

To complete the road test "drive cycle" which allows the PCM to re-learn its adaptive strategy.

Rusty's got it. Its to get all of the air bubbles out of the high pressure oil system. If you dont, hard starts, rough running, less than appreciative customers!
