Unless you put bearing retainer or red locktite on the shaft seals when you put it together . Those VE pumps are the best daily driver pumps with linear fuel curve, and easy starts. They also fuel hard down low moreso than the P7100. I wouldn't be surprised to see 23-25 mpg with a timing bump. I wouldn't get head studs, but I'd overtorque the stockers a bit. Yup, locktighted the output shaft seal. I agree, I like the VE for the DD, If I was building a sled pulling truck than the p would be my choice. I am still fiddlin, so valve adjustment and timming was my next order of buisness. The head studs will be when I change turbo, injectors and add an intercooler. I will retorque the stockers for now. What are you going with for sticks and a turbo?

Still in the decision stage, I am looking at the BorgWarner Killer B from BD diesel, or a Holset HX35/40 Hybrid. Not really aggressive on the injectors. Prob 50hp. She will be towing a lot and a DD so I will stay conservative.

So did some more fuel tuning, some tranny tuning, adjusted the valves and bumped the timing some. She works pretty good for a 23 year old truck with very little money spent.

chefted, one thing I've discovered with links is that the ones from a secure site (https) don't work when pasted onto your post. Try copying the links starting at www and it should work. Or we can all just copy the URL (without the https://) and paste it into the URL line at the top of our browser. (edit) I just (cough, cough) watched them (cough) and I think (cough, cough) the 2nd clip (cough, cough, hack) is the best

Looks good Ted, glad to hear its been reliable, that's what ya need. I did some milage calcs last night on my 5.9CR...17.7mpg no towing. So you are doing just fine economy wise.
