Good News & Bad News

Good News:
she finally moved under her own power.

Bad News:
when in gear(under a load), i stomp the gas & she bogs down, backfires & falls on her face. put it in neutral & i can rev the crap out of her.

i bought a fuel pressure gauge & when i turn the key the pressure builds to about 12 psi. start the truck & it slowly goes up to 57-59, cheap harbor freight needle jumps around.
when i hit the throttle she revs fine but the pressure drops to 20-30 PSI.
no check engine light, so i'm thinking the fuel pump?

I had a similar problem. In neutral would rev but once in drive fall on its face. It was the fuel pump

i'm working on them. i have the measurements just need to get out to the shop to route & brake them. i was hoping to do them this week but don't know if i'm going to make it out there since my truck isn't running right.

fix the fuel problem. one of my lines was restricted. unfortunately it still runs rough. i pulled the plug on my MAF to see if it would throw a code & turn on the LED check engine light but it never came on. we put a reader on it & there was a code for the MAF. no other codes but we could see the MAP was at 10.8 in park & jumped to 14 when i put it in gear. i was told it should be around 5. when it's in gear it runs really rough now. it's not throwing a code for the MAP so i was told to check for vacuum leak around the intake & MAP. we'll see what happens tomorrow.

right under the MAP sensor is a small vacuum port. where does that go, or can i cap it?
right now it's just open so i think that may be my problem.

If your staying NA walboro 255 if there's plans for fi aeromotive 340. Either are cheaper than factory replacement .... btw been following your truck in fb, looks gteat and need to get with you bout one if those bad Ass hats!
