Fuel Pressure, Fuel Pressure, Fuel Pressure....

Do you see a pattern?

BTW, welcome.

Oh yeah, get yourself a fuel pressure guage, boost, and pyrometer as well. They really help you see what is happening with your truck, help in troubleshooting, and will save you a lot of $.

Also, if you have an auto...you might also want to consider a tranny temp guage.

If you don't know the maintainence history, your basic fluid and filter changess might be in order
