Water in the gas... A lot of water- 2gallons maybe of the 5 gallons in the tank.

Ran a line from the rail into a 5 gallon bucket and cycled the pump. It only puts out 5-6oz per shot. I put some into a glass jar and saw some serious separation- about 1/2" water in 3" gas in the jar I ran about 3gallons out and checked another jar... No water. Started right up- ran rough for just a minute and now it runs great and idles perfect!

It is amazing to me to watch how fast it separates in the glass! I poured some of the gas off the top of the bucket and you could see the separation line between the two fluids... Left about two gallons in the bucket- below the separation.

I appreciate the help guys!!

Glad you got it running. I'm going the the JY tomorrow, I'll see if I can get a TV cable if you still need one. And for the love of God, would you please add the info about your truck to your sig and profile.

Just started on this forum- just found it while researching my problems. I will add specs and pics. I have owned it since new in '94. I was an engineer for Superlift and it was our prototype suspension truck- it used to be a nice show truck... Then I moved to the mountains!! LOL!

I picked up a TV cable at the dealership today. $88... not to bad when ya cant find the time to hit the JY and need it in a hurry.
