    First off, this thread is almost 6 tears old, V8Lenny hasn't been here in a very long time.

    Second, you're asking advice about getting power from a truck and you give no year or engine, so how can anyone help?

    Third, be clear and honest. Define "Some power" for us. If you really don't have any power, that means it doesn't run. If the truck moves, that's "some power".

    The more info you give, the more help you'll get. What year? What engine? What is the engine power rating currently? Is it running correctly? What exactly do you want?
