Make sure you prime the fuel system first

It is, the fuel pump kicks on as soon as you turn the key to the on position and even stayson for about 15 seconds after you turn the key off.

What i mean is, just because the fuel system is working doesnt mean its primed. If you didnt let it pressurize fully then every time you crank you're losing pressure. Cycle the key on and off for about 15 times making sure the let the fuel pump run completely each time.

Any luck on getting her up and running?

Damian 03-15-2012 10:41 PM

Ended up being I didnt set my valve lash correctly. The valves were stuck up a bit. Truck runs great right now. I still have some things on the interior I need to put back together. I need to hook up my AEM gauges and what not.

Nice glad to hear shes up and running

Damian 03-16-2012 08:57 AM

I just need to run this old gas as low as possible and then fill her up with fresh gas. I get some knock here and there, nothing major though.

Add a couple gals of e85. No more knock up the boost a little and add more timing you will be amazed with it.

Damian 03-16-2012 10:56 AM

The E85 station is taking forever being built, seems like they just stopped all together. So crap 91 will be my choice for awhile.
