Good evening MN.

No luck yet getting that excursion to start. New cps, two new interstate batteries, no difference. So I couldn't find a schrader valve to check fuel pressure, is there one? Damn, wish I had bought an AE scanner a couple weeks ago

You will not find me in any 6.4 powered truck. You have to pull the cab to do anything. No options to work around it either. I will eventually skip to a 6.7 down the road, once I hear the reliability is better.

That sucks. I am not sure on the schrader valve with out looking but I believe there is a port you have to screw a fitting in to check it. Drain the fuel bowl and then turn the key on and make sure it is filling up.

You have numerous lifts now so why the concern on lifting the cab up!
