dont know, im in NC so its like 130 in the morn here, but will check tomorrow and see, just curious, what does that have to do with it, tryin to learn here:humm:

im just throwing out random things, if the rad hose is hard that means head gasket.

no, he just replaced the hoses, but it is not hard while cranking, still have not got it to run yet.

Drain some fuel out of the bottom of the filter and into a cup. Smell it and look for bubbles of other liquid floating in it.

already changed the fuel filter, but saw no particles or water in the fuel that came out of the old filter.

Any resolution?

we cranked and cranked and eventually got the system bled out, it took about 3hrs of cranking and cooldown, but it has ran fine ever since, still wandering what caused it though? thanks for the help guys.

Glad everyone was able to help you out. I'll go ahead and close this. It can be re opened if needed. :U:
