removed banjo bolt from the top of the filter and bumped started...no fuel what so ever. Is my LP shot completely? It was looking like it was going bad, but to fail 100% is that odd?

Sorry I had you hunting for that non existant shraeder, didn't know the 98's and 99's didn't have it.

I'd say yes, your lift pump is toast.

Some die gradually, some all of a sudden.

installed the LP today...piece of cake, she fired right up. Went to my local shop, changed the oil and installed 5 inch pro-flo exhaust. Went home, istalled AFE stage 2 and edge EZ...OMG this truck runs awesome now. Almost done wiring up the gauges...what a pain they are but they are looking good so far.

Guages done...I was freaking out about the pyro because I put it pre turbo after reading up on here about it. I saw alot of post about the "duct tape methos" but I couldnt find it. I just used very little pressure on the drill so the shavings were very fine then used a q-tip with grease on it to get the shavings out og the manifold....all went well and they work awesome. I tapped my intake tube to measure boost right as it goes in the engine...I couldnt really find any other ideas except for that bolt that goes in the head. Any way it all went smoothly and I have to thank this site for all the insight



PS sig being changed now
