    One thing for certain is that a new fuel pump, lines and carb kit doesn't cost that much and, as suggested above, they probably ALL need replacing anyhow. Another certain thing is that Ethanol is a thorn in the b-u-t-t for all Car Owners, regardless of the vehicle.

    The truck has been sitting for awhile, but i still managed to drive it some 500miles. I planned on replacing all the rubber hoses and clean out the tank, Ill do the test on the fuel pump, although I think shes working fine. My next step will definitely be a carb kit, and to re-adjust the idle screws (as Im pretty sure it has a vacuum leak).

    Thanks for the info guys!
