Message: [QUOTE="The Brad, post: 1424333, member: 14154"] Well I'm not sure what happened in my case, but I've spent the last 3 years on and off trying to figure out why my truck towed better with stock injectors, tuning and modded stock turbo. Boost leak, exhaust leak, different tuning, checked compression, bought a WW2 (that $ would've been better used by wiping my ass), I checked everything. When I pulled the 38r off, there wasn't a trace of soot anywhere, up pipes, collector or manifolds. I considered re-gearing and /or changing nozzles. I understand that that the 38r has served the masses well, that's why I bought it, but it didn't work for me, enough so that I spent $2300 and am glad I did. This thread isn't meant to be an anti 38r thread. It's pretty funny that it's become an argument about which is better, the SXE or 38r. If the 38r is faultless, then who in their right mind would bother to R&D a drop in alternative (KC38r), 13 years since the last 7.3 rolled off of the production line? As far as pulling fuel? I can do that with my right foot, or just click down to the next lower HP tune. The only result is the speedo slowly dropping until I'm back under the turbo, then drop to 2nd gear and hold 45-50mph at 3000rpm for the next 5 miles, no thanks! And to be clear, my biggest issue was not being able to hold the same speed up the same grade, with the same load, without hazing out the road and cooking my pyro. I think this dead horse has been beaten enough. [/QUOTE]
