The pressure regulator is on the fuel rail and has a vacuum line ran to it. With the truck running pull the vacuum line from the regulator and cap it with your finger quickly. If the idle picks up the regulator should be fine. You need a fuel pressure gauge for fuel injected engines, a gauge for carbureted won't work.

ok good to know. But she is not running, shes just stuppering. My next question is are there high pressure fittings attachiing the regulator or do those two bolts come off and swapped out?
