On vacation... Not spending much time on interwebz this week.
Sounds like you got it all sorted out though!! Even if your truck doesn't have a white clip on the TV cable! Lol
How much have you replaced on the truck? Have you checked the cap n rotor on the distributor? Still running stock wires? Rick makes a nice set of wires for these magnum motors.

Oh, so you missed the pics I posted in the other thread........... Here they are for your viewing pleasure. ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh2.gif) Rotor that was on the truck next to a new one: And where it smacked the cap: The rotor tip was pushed over like that when I pulled the cap. ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shock.gif) Amazingly it didn't have misfire. Wires, I went with a set from Advance Auto already as I had a coupon. The truck runs soooooooo much better now, its like a different truck. I may have to learn how to 'drift' though. ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif) Any kind of wetness or dirt on the road and this thing WILL kick out. ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/drive.gif)

My gen 3 with a stick shift 5.2, intake, cam, headers, SCT was running 17.5. That same set up was good for 14.6 in the 1/4 mile. My 5.9 with eddy heads is closer to 14 mpg, but I can't keep my foot out of it
A gen 2 is lighter, it should do better than a gen 3

I just swapped in a set of 4.6 5.4 5.0 yellow ford injectors and picked up a couple mpg in my 99 5.2 5 speed, I have it up to the same mpg as my last V6 5 speed truck did. I have also added cold air intake, electric fan, 17" RT wheels with narrow tall low rolling resistance tires. The injectors made the biggest difference and cost me $50 at the local JY and 30 minutes to install. Idle is smoother and I can lug it around at lower RPM now without chugging.

On an automatic you can usually slot the crank sensor and advance the timing a couple degrees for a free MPG trick. On both of my last 5 speed trucks it caused too much pinging unless I ran premium with no MPG increase.

The Yellow top Ford injectors have 4 spray holes?
They are rated 24 lb/hr at 43 psi ( or maybe 19) ?
Does anyone know of 12 hole injectors available on vehicles in junk yards that are in the 24 to 34 lb/hr range?
Seems like i remember that Denso makes 12 hole injectors that make 60 micrometer droplets that are standard on some Kawasaki products.

I thought the yellows were 19lb, I have some ford 24lbs in the stroker 4.0 in my jeep, they are blue. I have some 42lb injectors for my barracuda and they are green.
