What fuel pressure are you getting on Key-ON/Engine-Off and what't the
pressure under cranking?

Okaaaay - changed the O2 sensor today - and as I suspected... no change.
  Still bogs down - won't idle, dies out. My gut is telling me its fuel
related again... I pulled the EGR valve off and put on a block off plate, I
fixed the exhaust leaks, and now changed the O2 sensor

I did a little test - and pulled the vacuum line off the fuel pressure
regulator - and there was no vacuum or pressure at either the regulator
nipple or the rubber hose... I don't know if that's normal or not?

I'm going out to pull the ECM from the 2wd truck and try it on Christine to
see if that does anything... just to rule it out... I'll post my results
when done.

I pulled the EGR valve off and put on a block off plate, I fixed the exhaust
leaks, and now changed the O2 sensor... any other suggestions?

I'm going to focus on the fuel system unless there are any other
suggestions.
