Thanks it's a work in progress.

Dazed, that is nothing compared to the cold start today I had. Truck DID NOT want to start! Sat there cranking for 10-15 seconds about 3 times and finally each cylinder one by one started to go and just so much white smoke.... Kinda like RSWORDS engine cold start but a little longer....
