And if possible, even though we don't like it, if you have some ethanol blended gas around your home, you might try it if you normally avoid. I use it in Jan & Feb and buy my gas from the bigger Corporate stations instead of the little mom and pop places. Some of the mom and pop stations, do not maintain their tanks as well and have tendancy to have more water in their fuel.

two cans of heet? I put one thing of iso heet in it it says it has fuel injector cleaner in it also. i let it run for about 30 minutes when it started. then i took it for a cruise in the snow when going to get the heet. drives fine almost forgot how much i love how well it drives. stupid truck barely fits into the entrance of my driveway the way we shoveled it so i was like oh what the heck and just rammed it in. no dents no scrathes nothing :-)

whats lucas? Looks like ill make another trip.

Did you read the directions. I know your truck has a 34 gallon tank plus fill pipe. I'd do 2 bottles, and if this is actually your problem, you obviously have quite a bit of water in the tank. So sure, I'd do 2, and as big as your tank, I'd prbobably do 2 again at next fill up. Do you keep or ever fill that biggo tank? You know if winter its best to keep a tank full for many reasons. One being the keep the moisture in the tank to a minimum. So you oughta get it full, and pretend 1/2 tank is your empty in winter weather.
