It's Alive...again....finally!!
Well the heading says it all....
After 2 months, and one bungled re-seal and a broken pump later, and then a replacement pump and re-seal, ...I got ol' RAE running this evening!!!
I resealed the replacement IP I got, installed it and hooked everything up and between 15-20 cranks, prime the injectors, then it quickly rattled to life!!
I'll have to figure out the timing since when I installed the pump the marks were way off. Comparing the original mark to the replacement pump they were darn close, probably within 1/16th. When I installed the new pump it was probably 1/4" or more below the original mark on the case. So I brought the pump up even with the mark on the case, to at least get it close.
Thank you to all the members who helped me through this ordeal, your comments, advice and ideas and we can't forget encouragement, made all the difference.
LONG LIVE THE DTR!!!

Yay!!! Congratulations Thrashingcows. It's been a long and mildly frustrating ride for you, from what I've read by your postings. But nothing like a little 'tool time' to get to know your truck intimately. 
Let the bombing begin....
