to bad your not closer i would bring my truck over lol.
I think he'd have more than just YOUR CUCV in there! Wow, I don't even have 7000 square ft of land! My shop's only 600 sq ft.

CgaEngineer, got pics of that monster? (not trying to hijack, Cucvnut, I'd just like to see a shop that big). What the heck is it, a hangar?

I'll post a pic when I get by there today. Obviously it's not empty, but I have plenty of room to put a deuce in there...it really needs to be cleaned up badly, yesterday I went there to pickup a few things to help my partner finish a basement and I noticed how nasty it was. We already brought a roll off dumpster in there this spring but it's still nasty! My partner and I run a lawn care business out of it, right now it has my spray truck, our Isuzu NPR, an F250, a boat, bobcat and two trailers.

Clinto has been by there, he can tell you how big it is, but I'll take some pictures.

In the meantime, look up 380 East Midland Ave, suite 200 Winder, Ga

So i put the intake back on hooked up the CDR valve and connected the wires. Then i bled the fuel filter and cranked it over a few times with an injector loose and no fuel came out. What is the proper way to bleed the injectors if all the lines have come off the truck?. im not sure if i am doing something wrong. it turns over but wont start.

I've done 2 pumps. Both times I left all injector lines loose at the injectors and held the pedal to the floor while cranking until fuel started to leak out. Tighten up the lines and you should be good to go.

Yay it ran some what. I got it to start i had to bleed the fuel system and then it would run but it would not run with out my foot in it(idle issues I think). I noticed I had fuel leaking down the back of the motor between in the engine and transmission. I checked all the fuel line fittings on the filter and the injectors. I then noticed fuel leaking in the valley pan so I pulled the intake and found the bottom fuel injector line was very loose(would this besides drawing air effect the idle issues?) so I tightened it back up and I am now in the process of re installing the intake. Would anyone care to help me with the no idle issues or would the fuel leak cause that like i stated. I'm making progress and I'm happy!

When you get it back together start it and see if you stiil have the idle issue. You may have to bleed it some more but there is a good possibility it will all clear up.
