I remember Brad!
Steve - he had a 05 2500? that he towed his enclosed trailer and Grand National in. It's the one they plucked from in front of his house.

That would be the one. Found out how easy they are to steal. TR's are even easier.

That year of GMC is easily stolen. Ask me how I know.

I used the cheapass fuel filters from the local parts store and had zero issues with them...and I swapped a new pump and filter in every spring before the race season fired up.

Those fuel lines connections can be a whore...they'll wanna spin the line. Spray the fuck out of them with WD-40 24 hours in advance...and use the proper line wrenches. If it wants to spin the line spray it with WD-40 and wait. This ain't your DD so take your time.

The turbo drain line is definitely leaking. That's my next hurdle to clear up. Smh. I switched over to studs which makes the job a little easier but the leak is still present. The drain hose I'm certain I can address.

If you're using a cool guy return line...don't. The stocker is ribbed for a reason. Patrick Rubio can tell you why. Jason may have return line gaskets.

That rust is gonna be everywhere. Swap in a new fuel filter. I'd pull the injectors and have them cleaned.

Phil, if you can't get the oil leak stopped, you can use the Right Stuff. I had the same problem and I tried every fukn gasket on the planet. Be prepared to use a crow bar to get the rocker covers off though.

I you wanna run a cheap pump, then I have videos on how to change head gaskets.

255 with 80's took me well into 6's in the 1/8th with race gas. The 340 might need a larger return line. Some get away without it. Guys on the other board are saying some of the E85 they get is lower. It's a crapshoot. If you're gonna run E85 I'm fairly certain you need bigger lines...and possibly a 450 pump. Cruz and other vendors sell the larger lines. Racetronix is here in Canada in Scarborough. Expect the shipping to be a little slower getting to you.
