Is this drivable?

And get it hot and sweaty, by loading it down and running it like a rented mule!

When we'd put a new engine in one of these trucks, we wouldn't quite tell to dive them like they stole them.We would tell them to drive them like you're going to drive them. If they trailered the truck there, we'd tell them to hook the one that just had the engine replaced to the trailer and haul the other one home with it.

Notice it is an '86. Do you still have the water separator on it? If so, put a 3/8" bolt in the drain hose under the driver side foot board. Sounds to me like it may have some water in the fuel getting picked up. Dose the tanks with some Hot Shot Secret Extreme.

Can you take a picture of under the hood from front?

No it dosnt have it anymore. It was leaking air in and the fitting on the bottom was so seized I mangled the unit trying to get it out. So it was replaced by those cheapy plastic filters in series. It is on the list to get replaced but I havnt found a seperator that wasn't one of the big transfer tank sized ones.

Reason I asked about under hood picture is if the hood cowl is damaged or rotted allowing a little water to get into the intake seal on the filter top/center. Mine has a slightly bent rod from this from 3 years ago and starts/runs about like yours. I know there has been a lot of heavy rain in your area this year. Happens all of a sudden.
