Hi All,
Been driving my cargo van (1993 E350 extended cargo van with 7.3 IDI) much more than my TDI lately and it has come to the point where I need to replace injectors (251K miles BUT idled alot by the previous owner so lots more hours on the engine than miles may indicate).
Anyways, in the TDI world (MKIV), bigger injectors and pumps can mean more MPGs IF you keep your foot out of it ...... I was wondering does the same apply to a mechanical diesel (i.e. would bigger injectors get better MPG's on a mechanical diesel OR does that only apply to computer controlled disesels like our TDIs ?).
Thanks in advance for any and all help on this
