Question
hhhemp
I have a 2009 CHU613 heavy haul truck with the mp8 485hp engine. The engine starts and runs absolutely perfect with excellent throttle response. If you mash the throttle through the first 3 gears the truck will pull unbelievably well. After approx 20mph the truck falls flat on its face. It will not maintain speed pulling an empty or loaded trailer. I have checked fuel pressure, boost pressure, blown Venturi tubes out, pulled vgt actuator off and moved linkage back and forth (free and smooth as silk) calibrated vgt, checked engine torque settings, checked road speed limit, checked for intake leaks, etc. There are no codes present. I have no idea what else could cause the problem. Also, this truck will burn 2.5 times more fuel on a similar trip than any other truck I own. Could horspower not be set at what valve cover sticker says? How do you check current ecm hp/torque settings? What else could be the problem here?
75psi fuel pressure
28-35psi boost
