Thank you to all those that helped with input on the thread. I got it running last night between a combination of hooking up 2 things that my friend didn't get put on and bleeding air from fuel rails. It is now RUNNING!!!!
My stocker guage did that until I cleaned out the sender. Scary the first time it happened.
Most guys on here will recommend aftermarket gauges. Apparently the stock gauges suck the big one.
I haven't checked them yet but after my lunch I have confirmed it is a leak. I am thinking passenger valve cover but not sure until I can get home and out of business clothes to be crawling on the ground. It is leaking somewhere and hitting the right side header/exhaust between the (2) 90 degree angles in the pipe. Not sure if it is not torqued down enough or if the seal is not seated properly.what does it show on the stick and do you have a mech guage that you can temporarily hook up?
I think its the valve cover because when the truck is still warming up after starting. even if the gauge says its warm already. It takes a bit of driving about 5 min to start flopping to LOW. This would make sense as pressure/heat builds up and then starts leaking.I am thinking passenger valve cover but not sure until I can get home and out of business clothes to be crawling on the ground.
