Ok, just closing the loop.
Maybe this will help others.
Day after I posted last, I added the fuel additive. I let the tank sit since then. I probably was a little heavy on the dose since my tank was not full and my gauge is not working…. So I guessed add rounded up.
I did nothing else…...
Gonna try this.
I also bought a brand new primer/filter base. The price was right, so I bought it. We will see if that fixes anything.
I will update with my results.
I will give that a shot….. if nothing else, the engine may like it.
Did you find you had to add it every tank or just occasionally?

My fuel lines are brand new from fuzzytoaster so I trust them to be good.
The truck has been garage kept, so bugs is not as likely but I will pull the cap off and blow through it to see what happens.
Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks for the suggestion.
I will give this a shot.
The truck did run really smooth for about 400+ miles, so this is a new issue. That would make me a little skeptical about lubrication….. but, I don’t think it can hurt. Plus, it may do the truck some good.

Symptoms:
On start up if left in low idle, the engine surges in a rhythmic way. In high idle I do not notice it. In gear, the truck lunges with each surge.
Once the truck is really warmed up (30 minute drive), no more surges.
What...
