Final resolution to problem.
The problem this week is that old program in the ecm that seemed to be the one that was in it when the engine was built had never been updated.

I killed 4 days in Denver just because they did not reflash my ecm with the new software when they put in the new injectors. My question is why did they not know they needed to do this. Either 1. Caterpillar is not keeping Freightliner updated on what these engines need as far a software or 2. Caterpillar is keeping Freightliner updated and Freightliner is not keeping things straight. Well either way I am headed over the Rockies today and things seem to be working fine. Thanks for all the help
