My truck is finally home and running well. It cost me a lot of time and money - so if you want help out - make your check payable to - just joking! It looks as if the guy I bought it from - either didn't know or forgot to tell me the engine had just been replaced. However, since it only has cost me around $2500 and 2 months - I guess I shouldn't be too sore about it. It's amazing how hard it is to find out someone has put the wrong engine in your vehicle. They all work the same anyhow - right? - Anybody out there know a good lawyer that specializes in fraudulant sales?
- Thanks everyone for all the help!

Good grief Scotty, when I said makes you wonder what else has been messed with, I never dreamed the engine had been changed out.
Let me guess, it isn't a flex fuel engine, but the computer thunk it was???
So what all did the dealer have to do to unconfuse things???

The big problem between the two engines are the injectors - fuel pressure regulator - rail and dampner. The computer is the same for the two engines (probably has slightly different algorithms). Supplying 60 pounds of fuel to injectors meant to handle 30 lbs just doesn't work too well. Since there is a flex fuel sensor on my truck - I decided to go with the injector change out and not the regulator change out. Anyhow - glad that its done! Thanks for the help!

Well so glad you seem to have it all sorted out & she is all well now, & running great, man what a mess to have had to deal with.
If you haven't had to break that piggy bank to fund all this, be shure to take that tech out for a nice big jucy steak.
With all the new parts, it should just about last a life time.
Thanks for all the feed back, was a good learning session for all.
