You are probably right! It has to be something stupid electrical...So find what's not connected, I want to hear this thing run! Did u try disconnecting where you tied in circulator pump?

well boys. I spent the weekend following every wire, checking every fuse, and it was basically a waste of time.

The cluster started functioning once I hooked up jumper cables, which is strange but i'll take it. I'can't believe the truck would crank but not have a working cluster?

Then next I thought I had a tune issue... I like blaming Rob for my problems. Looks like the tune is fine.

Finally I had disconnected my aftermarket guages in my frustration, but after hooking them back up I noticed fuel pressure was 0. So I pulled out the sensor, and the fuel rails are bone dry.... I think this is the issue. Fuel pump is working which leads the problem to this bad boy!

For those who are familiar with these piece... you'll notice that the feed and return are switched. I bought it used and didn't think much of it, just slapped the lines on and hoped for the best.

So looks like thats the issue all along. Let the roasting begin.

Also if someone who also has this fuel block can confirm my suspicion that would be excellent. I'm outta time to work, headed back to AZ for 10 days.

I removed that and blocked it off, feed the passenger rail and use the drivers as return. Plumb your regulator at the end of the pass rail and connect it to the return... all fixed. Your stock fuel feed line should make it to the pass side. A few fittings and a short piece of line and your done.

I think we can all agree that this has been a learning experience for us.
