That explains a lot. Good luck.

Plan on it.

At least I can say that I am honest about myself. I should be the one wishing you luck.

I don't need luck - I built all my vehicles, so I know how to keep them running. And I'm honest about everything - not just myself. What I don't do is ask for free help, and then attack those who try, when they tell me what they need from me.

I've been doing this since before BBSs existed, so you're not the first, and you won't be the last person who doesn't want to put forth any effort. I don't mind teaching anyone to fish, but I'm not handing them out on silver spoons.

Yeah, trying getting shot in the head, losing part of your brain, being a leg dragger, drag your carcass under a hood or up under a truck, with a broken back, to do things, and sometimes forgetting what the hell you did every 10 seconds. Trying having some cluster headaches and read a forum, when most people whine about migraines. Try headaches that make a lot of people commit suicide, strapped to an oxygen tank, and reading snide comments from gas-lighting trolls under the guise of a person there to help, before you judge me. Living is an effort to me. I wish you luck not with your vehicles, but with finding out how to be a human being. I hope to God you never have to experience anything close to what I do. Hold my beer and go find my 10mm socket.

I see you have met Steve.

I wouldn't waste any more energy trying to convince him of anything. He is who he is and he isn't going to change or apologize, and no amount of typing is going to change that. Best use your energy for more productive means. And good luck.

Everyone has problems - most people deal with them without posting them to the internet. No, I'm not going to tell you what I deal with. If you can't fix your truck, pay someone who can, or sell it. But don't ask for help on how to do something you can't or won't do, or rant on those who make the mistake of trying to help you.

You need to realize that another effect of your brain damage is paranoia. It's not us - it's you.

LOL, it just takes awhile to get used to your style of helping. If you haven't been in the military, or played football, or even just been around people who tend to tell you that you are screwing up with no regards for your precious feelings, then I can see why one could come away thinking you are an ***. Most of us have figured you out, its the new guys that struggle. But it helps keep the herd thinned out

I'm active on about 6 discussion forums right now, in addition to all the other things I spend my time on. So I have no time to tip-toe around anyone's feelings. If someone wants help, I might have some suggestions, and I'm just going to post them plainly. If someone DOESN'T want help, why post at all?

The first response to your fuel question should have been throw a gauge on it and see what the pressure is at. BLDTruth got to that and is always helpful. Report those numbers back and go from there. No need for a signature as it's a 94 with a 4.9 is enough to diagnose a fuel issue!
