Well I found out today that 2 cylinders on each side of the block are not firing. Have spark but no fuel. I hope it's just air in the system...but the motor has sat for almost 3 years so they might be gunked up with old fuel. Let's hope not. Air system works like a charm! Might go for a spin on Sunday!

I was curious as to whether or not you knew that there is currently an ebay seller (selling the hoods similar to what is on your truck) that is using a picture from your album for advertising?

you should be able to pull the fuel rail off and spray the injectors from the bottom with intake cleaner. Go a step further take the injectors off and spray out the fuel rail too. Just make sure you lube up or replace any Orings you disturb.

This is probably the route I'm going to take. If I'd known I'd done it when the cab was off!
