I had a 2001 7.3 diesel and if it was raining or better yet missing, my truck would run like it had two turbo's. It was amazing, I did notice on my wife's Colorado, it runs better when it is raining or misting. I think it is because of the added water grains in each intake stroke.

I have always wanted to add some kind of water injector upstream of the sensors and make it so I could turn it off before I shut the engine off to clear the system of any extra water.

I still feel with the right set up it would help and improve both power and fuel economy.
