James, I just got kind of burned out doing my swap, a little to much stressing about doing something wrong (like not draining oil properly causing hydro- lock) which can bend a rod. I haven't made any progress with finding the problem miss I was trying to fix with injector change. I a little slow cause I'm a lot older than most on this site and its just a lot harder to absorb this diesel stuff. I am still learning and fore the most part enjoying learn what I can. James feel free to PM me and I'll give you my phone number if I can help you with anything. Going to be away from puter for most of the day, but I'll have my phone.

Hey james, if you need any help feel free to send me a PM too. I had mine out and re-installed 3 times within the last 6 months (long story).

I'd be glad to help you if you need it. If it's easier on the phone just PM me your number and I'll get back to you asap.

richdawg if you need to get that truck hooked up to AutoEnginuity let me know, I'm in Spokane more than I care to admit. There is another member that might be willing to hook it up for you too out in Cheney.

Thanks for the offer on AE hookup, just to cold for me right now and I don't have a large enough garage to work on it in. I started it yesterday after it setting for about three weeks , it surprised me and started right up. More white smoke than usual though, till it warmed up a little. Engine still has the shakes though and smooths out a little as RPM's increase.

Glenn, I would really love to be in Parker and at the Riverland Resort in Earp CA. where we stayed last year. We had reservations for this year but had to move them over to next year. Hopefully I'll have my truck fixed by then.

along with what everyone else said, unplug the cps when purging oil with the gp's out, very unlikely the truck will start so soon when your just purging but better to be safe

Well the offer stands if you ever want to do it. If I could get some crap cleaned out of my garage we could roll it in there and throw some wood in the fireplace and have at it, but my garage is a disaster zone right now.

superduty4x4,
Thanks again for the offer, maybe we can find some time after the holidays & I do really appreciate your interest and follow up on my problem. I don't really know what else to do, don't want to just throw parts at it, can't afford that. AE sounds like it could be the answer. I have thought about buying one but not sure how user friendly they are.

Sounds good, just give me a shout!
On second thought, there is another member that lives in Cheney (Pwerstroke99) that may be able to hook your truck up and scan it for you.
