95 running rich after new injectors
 
rebuilt stock injectors, truck is getting 2mpg less and smokes way way worse than ever before. also there is oil leaking in the v part of the engine. i took it back to the guy that did the injectors and he said some o ring on the back of the oil pump was the cause of the oil and the little prefilter on the side of the fuel filter housing was totally clogged causing terrible fuel milage. after picking the truck up, its definately making more boost now than ever and runs fine but still have a oil leak and the thing is smoking like crazy still and smells of oil. any ideas??

How long since the new injectors?

The oil could be hpop related..

new injectors last week. this started the day i picked up the truck so i'm thinking its something that got put together wrong maybe or cracking fitting. i dont believe in coincendences that something went wrong at the same time but its possible. it never smoked like that. its black smoke, runs great (better than old injectors which were factory with 240k on them). but losing 2mpg? i cleaned it up really good today and told my driver to keep an eye on it tomorrow for leaks and the fuel milage...

well, after running the truck yesterday and we tightened every thing up and cleaned up all the fuel/oil in the valley, we might have a very small leak under the fuel filter housing. my driver said the truck didnt smoke as much, and he actually got almost 3 mpg better than last week and this was a heavy load!!! so bossman (me!) is very happy. thanks for the replys. everyone should clean that little mesh filter on the side of the housing. truck is making 7lbs of boost more than it ever has and is accelerateing up hills i think better than my 2000 and 01!!!
