Possible injecton pump problems?
Hey guys its been awhile since i've been on here... What are the tell tale signs of a bad injection pump or a bad injector? Ive changed the fuel filters on my airdog just the other day and my truck has this surge issue at 50-60mph. When I first start my truck it seems like it idles rough but once the motor is warm I dont have a problem with it except the surging issue. Another thing is right when I first crank it up and take off driving I have a dead pedal. But it goes away like after 30 seconds and the truck runs fine. I un-installed the smarty thinking that was the problem but I have no clue! Could it be some Trashy diesel fuel or a bad injector/dead cylinder?? Cause once I drained my old fuel filter/water seperator it looked like oil came out of it. Please Help me out!!

Scan it for codes first even if the CEL isnt on
If you suspect bad fuel drain and clean everything including dropping the tank and cleaning it
it could be an injector, the TPS or the VP
with it running crack open one injector line at a time at the head if you find one that dosnt cause a change in the way the truck runs then remove that injector and move it to a different cylinder if the problem moves with the injector then you have a bad injector if it stays with the cylinder then i would do a compression test on that cylinder
if you have a friend who owns a similar year truck try swapping TPS sensors with him to see if that is the problem.

There is also an excellent write up on this site as well. The search box does work well.
