When I was at work I took a look at it and the return is runnin up to the filler neck. The return to the vp is sound. And the tank is way full.
But thanks guys, my next step will be to take the bed off and start from the tank and work my way up. Then I'll actuate the AD and see if it's puttin out enough fuel, then do the same thing from the vp.

And yeah, I'm pretty sure that's the reason my truck has been a big jerk. It's effin pissed that I ever left Wyo no jk

If I remember tight running the return in the filler neck will cause lots of air. I can't remember whee I read where someone solved that problem.

What I was saying to do is disconnect the return and cap off the spot on the filler neck and route the return to a big container in the bed and drive and see what happens. If it runs better the return is causing lots off air to get in the system and needs re routed

I'm pretty sure the reason Larry said to run it to the filler neck was because if it was on top of the tank then it would put a bunch of air in the fuel that the draw straw was pullin off of. But I can see that happening either way. Ran into an unrelated problem so I'm waiting for parts to come in before I pull the bed off. Figured I'd do it all in one night cause I don't wanna start it until I get some other stuff replaced.
