rail pressure problem
cousins truck and im no duramax pro.
he has been bit by the bug and is well on his way to the DARK SIDE . just had a 5 position EFI put on the truck. i road with him to get it installed. after installation we ran the truck around with the laptop to monitor things. rail pressure is way off. desired is 26k and @ wot we are dropping to 12-13k. i absolutely believe this has nothing to do with the tuning as it does it on all settings. if takes off well than falls on its face. the truck only has 60k on the clock has a slight knock/rattle i believe to be fuel related. i strongly feel like the CP3 is failing. could a failed relief valve or the factory lift pump cause such dramatic pressure drops? the truck runs pretty good and to the novice runs out well. power balance is even and injectors test good. fuel filter was replaced about 500miles ago and he tells me it drove the same both before and after.
a little insight would be nice.
thanks

i believe he found the problem last night. he gave me a call and told me his fuel filter was loose and only had about half a canister of fuel in it after removal. gonna play with it today but it was most likely sucking air. strange because it started and idled great? if that was his problem what a retard. LOL

I'm not sayin' it is, but not ruling it out either.
