I'm still trying to dianose and repair this '99. The IDM was bad and I replaced it with the parts truck I bought. However, it still has problems. I can follow in my chebby.

Have you checked the fuel pressure?

I know you went through the fuel system, I'm just wondering if a weak pump might cause that issue.

Saturday is good for me.....as long as it's an evening/night time cruise. Daytime is pretty full.

OOOOH how about Monday? Who's off work?

We're ya'll at Greer Ferry the town or somewhere around the lake? My grandmother lived & is buried in a little community between Heber Springs & Eden Isle. I haven't been up there in almost 5 years....but we used to spend allot of summers up there when my family lived in LR. When we moved to FSM it got to be a long drive and she had passed away...so there wasn't much draw for us to head back. I'd still like to spend some time there...just can't seem to make the time.

That was near the town of Greers Ferry, I didn't even know there was a chance of snow.

I was surprised to say the least to wake up Sunday morning and find that.

Who's up for a drive to get a burger and fries this weekend?
