Here's the results for the snapshot I took after it had been running for
a few minutes, though not fully warmed up. Also, I disconnected the
exhaust pipes at the manifold, just in case the converter had plugged
up. No difference.

O2 Bank1/Pos1 2.05 v
Coolant Temp 118.4 deg
Coolant sensor 1.3 v
Throttle pos .7v
Min throttle pos .7v
Battery voltage 13.8v
MAP sensor 21.3 in/HG
AIS position 180 steps
Adapt fuel #1 0us
Adapt Factor #1 0%
Baro pressure 29.4 in/HG
Engine speed 736 RPM
F1 start count 2 starts
F2 start count 0 starts
F3 start count 0 starts
Module advance 20.0 BTC
Charge temp 114.8 F
Charge temp sens 1.5 v
Charge goal 13.7v
Trans fluid temp -126.4 <<< weird, but I don't think this truck has
this sensor
Trans fluid sens 4.9v
Battery Temp 95 deg
O2 Bank2/pos1 0v <<< This truck only has one 02 sensor
Adapt factor #2 0%
Adapt fuel #2 0us
Closed loop no
MAP sensor 3.1v
02 Bank1/pos1 rich
Vacuum 8.0 in/HG
Throttle open 0% WOT
Total advance 20.0 BTC
02 Bank2/pos1 Lean <<< This truck only has one 02 sensor
Injector PW #1 5.5ms
Fuel sensor 2.48v
