Thanks guys. Between all I have had going on for the last several months it sure was good to get this done. I gotta haul a big trailer to the farm and the GF would much rather drive the 04 than the stripped down 2000 pulling the trailer. I still can't drive yet safely that is.

Just a short follow up. Even though I am not supposed to drive for a couple more weeks, I could not stand it. I went for a drive this morning and boy the truck seems to back to where it was as new. No more stumbling and running rough at cold start. Power seems to back to normal. I will see if the fuel mileage came back also.

Just a short update. Took the truck to farm and back over 250 miles. The truck ran like a champ. No bucking or other nonsense.

On a personal note. I am doing pretty good one month after my heart surgery. At least I am not sleeping in the lazy boy anymore and can sleep on my side now. Thanks for the well wishes.

Glad to hear your health is better. Having the truck fixed takes a load of stress off that you don't need either.
