Did you check the old fuel pressure regulator for a bad diaphragm or the fuel pressure before and after?Regulator was PR217 Standard motors. Everything checked out during installation.

I need some lessons from you. My bolts were all rusted though, that was most of my time there.

Impact gun destroyed the nuts holding on the tank mount to the frame. The first one I had to cut off, the other ones I used electrical tape to snug up the fit and it worked pretty well, but I replaced the nuts anyway. It was a Montana truck, but I bought it in Utah, so who knows where it had been, but no deep rust, just seized bolts. And yes, I used PB blaster, still seized like a MFMine weren't rusted bad, an impact gun helped too.
Do they know, or are they just guessing like we are?Well gents, got tired off chasing my tail and took it to the dealer. Just got a call saying it's
the regulator.
Well when I explained everything I have already checked the mechanic laughed and said you've already checked everything we would do. Lol! After talking for awhile he then offered to double check the fuel system with their Super Dooper tools and let me know..Do they know, or are they just guessing like we are?

That's exactly what they did..The dealer probably uses some Kent Moore $$ valve kit to isolate the supply and return lines. A valve is installed on the supply line at the filter. The line is pressurized and the valve closed. If the pressure drops, then it’s the regulator, injectors or line leak. If it holds, it’s the pump.
The return line can then be valved off (I think there’s a union near the fuel filter?) and the pump energized. If the pressure holds, then the regulator is leaking back to the closed valve. If the pressure drops, then an injector is leaking.
Hardware store tubing, fittings and a couple ball valves would accomplish the same thing. I’ve been tempted to look into rigging one up, just haven’t had the need to (knock on wood).
