Re: tips on changing AFPR
yeah you be able to remove the egr, you may want to loosen the upper intercooler and so you can move it around if there isn't enough room. i would use vaseline or silicone to lube up the o-rings. and i heard of a trick to get the o-rings soft is to heat them up in a microwave for a couple seconds. make sure you don't have any fuel leaks when finished.

bleed the system pressure of course
then loosen the gas cap... to releave any residual pressue behind the installed regulator.... (guess who forgot to do this lol)

Just lube the o-ring with a little motor oil and it'll slide right into the rail.

loosen the intercooler, and put it aside.. then its just a matter of taking two screws out and loosening the drain fitting, then reversing the order.

So I should let my daughter do it.LOL
Yeah, it looks easy. Most things on this truck are easyif you know how to do it. The first time I attemped to do the axel change I gave up. Now its easy. heater core...easy. Plugs...after 10 changes, very easy.(best time under 10min with stock truck jack), timming, fp... all easy.
Just wanted the tips to make it easy. Thanks guys. Fuel cap....Check.
I just hope its my AFPR thats causing my fuel problems. I dont want to pull the bed up. charcoal canister checked out ok.

Re: tips on changing AFPR
Took the truck out today. The wbo2 still jumps around a bit but its not as bad as before. Would a bad ground cause this?? I have yet to hook it up to the ecu ground and the narrow band hookup. Today there was no miss and the truck ran strong. Sometimes it feels like it lacks power from 30-60mph. sometimes it has tons of mid range and sometimes it has none? kinda weird. Now I got to put the DM and give it some good runs. I set the FP @ 42 for now. Idles in park from 14.8-12.5. wot in the 10's. Cruzing around 17-14.5. Sometimes it idles in drive @ 13 and sometimes @ 14-15. It still will jump from very lean to very rich but not as often. I could have fouled plugs again. I will pull them and look.
