Default Fuel Devilvery question for all you guys

Hey all....I have a 1999 4x4 Quad cab....with 320k on it now...I bought the truck one year ago with 212k on it....I have been averaging 12-14 k per month with it transporting Rescue dogs cross Country....

It had a bunch of Big boy goodies on it before I bought it, and the previous Owner took most everything out to trade it in....
The only things I know it has are unknown size larger injectors, 4" Exhaust, and BHAF...

Here is my Question....I live at 600ft elevation, but I travel thru Denver ever trip, and so I go to around 9000ft elevation thru the trip....As I get higher in Elevation I roll Serious Soot out the tail pipe...It seems to be over fueling all the time anyhow....But at high Ele. It is Terrible...From a Stop taking off the BLACK CLOUD is so bad I lose all traffic behind me....

I am thinking PO had pump messed with, and bigger injectors.....

I want to put everything back to stock....Getting the Pump looked at and gone thru this week, What injectors should I get to run stock with Factory HX35 turbo and a 80hp Edge chip..?

I have averaged about 10-11mpg every trip towing a 28 ft goose neck Horse trailer with total load at around 6-7000lbs....

Thanks for any and All input...I love this site...

John in Oregon.

A set of Bosch RV275 injectors or 75hp or smaller would be good for you in my opinion.

I'm with Bryce...

Stock injectors are fine but I got a little bump in performance without the black cloud from using the RV injectors. Not stock per se but I think you would be happy with them.

All that smoke means your not getting enough air, must be some pretty descent size sticks to be loosing traffic. I agree with above, go with the Rv's!
