    what else could set code 44

    I was wondering if a bad O2 sensor was the only way to throw 44. This is what I did before hand; verified 0 deg TDC, did leak down bike tube trick-no leaks found. Although I don't have DM handy the truck was run with DM before and the O2 volts were going crazy. Would a bad O2 sensor be the...

    FP gauge reading

    Hi guys- A question, I installed the autometer electronic FP gauge. When I turn the truck on the fuel pressure gauge reads where it should, it's when I turn the truck off the gauge reads all the way to 100 psi , as opposed to 0. Did I install a wire incorrectly or is it the gauge? Thanks.

    Pinstripping Removal ?

    Does anybody have a good suggestion on how to remove pinstripping? The thin one line pieces aren't a problem, it's this nasty multilined border running along the whole truck right above the cladding. The previous owner had no taste in my opinion. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
