If anyone needs something transported it looks like I'll be making a trip from northern Utah down to Phoenix Arizona, and possibly over to Texas if there is a demand.
Before you dive into the injection pump what are your fuel pressures? The truck needs 5psi at the fuel tank, and 32psi after the final fuel filters at idle.
If you're not getting those pressures the engine will not get full rpm range and power.

If you look at your fuel injection pump there is the hydraulic head, where all the high pressure fuel lines run out to the injectors. If you pull that head off there is a plunger attached to it. A small metal 'button' is clipped to that plunger. The stock retaining clip is known to fall off...
Yea, the burnt remains of the clutch material was all over the inside of the bellhousing, lots of pics in my deuce build thread (link in the signature). Was being towed down a 12% grade when the motor locked up. Sacrificed the clutch to keep my speed down.
