Trust me, i hated my first goat... evil looking devil creatures lol. But good for lazy people like me who don't like to cut grass. Most affectionate barnyard animals I've ever seen. If they had control of their pooping I would have them in the house but they just crap as they walk without knowing it. I now have 3 and they run towards me like my dog when I come home, line up to be petted, even like to play like a dog. Very cool animals.

We need to take a deep breath here... and seriously... lets just focus on what we do best... keep these trucks going down the road.

So a post got reported... now we have to deal with it.

I see insulting comments going both ways... and it's just not what we are about.

So if I'm going to warn anyone... I'm gonna warn everyone including to Original Poster.

You pretty much started this thing south by calling RonD... myself and a BUNCH of other people on here unsafe redneck mechanics. Not a real good way to win the crowd over... do you think? RonD has probably forgot more about these trucks then most people will ever know. It's the internet... you can't say stuff like that and not expect people to be offended... similar to the way you got offended.

That test has been used since... well see Ron's post. Even a shot of carb cleaner would be enough to make it sputter... and you would have your answer. But you have your safety limits and weren't comfortable performing the test. You now have a fuel pressure gauge... test your fuel pressure... then you will have your answer.

To the others that made not so friendly comments... sometimes when you just don't have any help to offer to the problem... just keep your none topic related comments to yourself.
