I guess I should have mentioned that I bought the car about 2 months ago and it has always been a turd when it comes to power. I'm used to Diesels being slower than gassers but when I put my foot to the floor in this car, it just mozies on up to speed until the turbo kicks in and it gets a little more aggressive. If I floor my 7.3, I immediately have power and whatever was in the front of the truck is now in the back.

I don't know for sure that my tank screen is clogged but I have been driving the car off and on for the last 6 weeks and of those 6 weeks, I see an awful lot of crud in the new primary filter I installed. I'm still in the trouble shooting stages right now. I'm trying to start simple and work up to more complex issues.

I cleaned the banjo bolt and hose from the intake manifold to the electrical device on the driver's side and from that, I cleaned the connection to the ALDA. There was some crud in both connections but I did not notice much if any performance increase. I also lubricated all throttle linkages and removed the 3-2 valves for the EGR completely. The EGR has been bypassed for several weeks already with no noticeable difference. I plan to install a block off kit when I can get one.
