I have had the injectors rebuilt, new air filter and new fuel filter. It runs great, but blows some diesel out the tailpipe on acceleration. The turbo also makes a "rattling" sound on acceleration (2500-3000 rpm) only. Any suggestions??? Last edited by danalukas; 04/25/08 08:33 PM.

I had almost been convinced it was wearing from the noise. I can't comment on the 22mpg, thats what I get mixed city / road on 235/75's. 89 v6 Raider 5spd 89 v6 Montero auto 86 TD Trooper Re: POOR FUEL MILEAGE - 1986 Trooper II C223t with 116,000 miles [Re: mike71800b] #882678 06/08/08 01:47 AM Joined: Sep 2003 Posts: 1,214 J JLEMOND Body Damage is Cool Quote I too was concerned about a little turbo tinny rattle noise, but while doing the clutch replacement I felt of the turbo shaft and there is very little play to it.
