Thank you very much. Will be on next years wish list.

Do you have a link for the injector place in FL?

Thank you very much for the info. I will check the EGR as soon as possible. The snow and cold may delay that a little. The Idle is fine. Probably better that my 2000 Dakota. Take off is good, but it is shortly there after that it has problems. From what I have been reading about the EGR valve, that sounds like a good place to go next. This will be my first attempt with a timing light as everything I have ever owned has been Electronic Ignition. I have one, but never used it.

Things have gotten better. The truck doesn't always stutter. Occasionaly, it feels like I am getting a lot of power, but not always. Through each gear, it starts out ok, but then gets week. Then right about when I think I should be shifting, I get a large boost in power. Could this be a timing issue? The previous owner replaced the Distributor Cap, but I don't think he changed out the Distributor itself. Could this be a problem? This is starting to turn the corner on this truck. It is actually getting to be a good ride. I see why you are all here with these trucks.

My tank doesn't seem to be too bad from the outside, but that doesn't say much for the inside. I was thinking about pulling it down and looking, and them I saw new tanks on ebay for $100 delivered. I think that I will just throw the old one away and know what is inside of the new one. I figured that I would put on a new pump while it was down. How hard is dropping a tank? Any tips there would be very apreciated as I have never done this before.

Just bought a well used 88. Still a very nice truck, just needs some TLC. It has some hesitation on acceleration so I tried a new fuel filter. I got some really nasty black stuff out of the rear of the filter. I ran the truck around the block and it felt like a new truck :D , for about 5 minutes :fs1: . Then, It started to stutter again. I think it was a good experiment, but I think I just wasted a new filter. I guess that I need to drop the tank and see where that stuff is coming from. Any tips on doing this without hurting myself? Also I am not really fond of the bench seat. What are my options- easiest to hardest?
