I got them in. Used a hammer on the rail lightly. Only one or two were stubborn and didn't want to go in but I got them all in now. Seems to be ok. Didn't see any leaks.

I try to do all my own work lately. No money to pay a mech lol. I wasn't going to do this today in this crappy weather but I took the one out of my old truck nice and easy so I figured I might as well go all the way and put it in my newer truck. It deff was the fuel rail on my newer truck leaking. It leaked real bad when I was taking it out so I'm glad I did it. Thanks for all the help guys!

So the day after and everything seems ok Haven't gotten up close to see if there's any leaks but il check tomorrow. I did use the old o rings they looked ok from my parts truck. Looked like someone had replaced them so I oiled them all up. Anything I should look out for?

check for vacuum or fuel leaks around the o-rings. If that's all ok, then, its all ok.

Use some carb, or brake cleaner in a rattle can. Let the engine idle up to temp, then spray it around. If you find a spot where the idle speed changes when you spray it, that's a leak.
