Keep an eye on it, very high pressure and not fuel certified hose. also the hose clamps will loosen

Ok will do. Truck drives alot better.. Now I have a shifting problem...after I drove it, I went to put it in Park, with the handle all the way up but stays in drive. Assuming it's in park, I try to fire it up and it doesn't turn over. So I have to manually shift it into neutral, it doesn't go into park... Shifts fine driving though

Please replace the line with original metal. As Newguy points out, that P/S hose is not designed for fuel and using those clamps is definitely not a good idea. If the hose blows off the line you could end up in a big fire and we don't want that. 60+ psi is a lot of pressure. final thing... I see what appears to be a cut or split in that hose, just to the top right of the upper hose clamp.

Ok I'll fix it, but I seriously lack the funds right now due to being unemployed for the last 6 months, I'm literally pulling money from the sky to accomplish what I've already done. I have no choice but to keep an eye on it and pray on it. Without work there's no money, without money there's no parts, without parts there's no fixing it. I have no resources for help financially, so the chances I'm taking, is a must or I'm stuck !! Help with a fuel line kit that actually fits my fuel lines would be very helpful ! Then I can wait for more money to fall out of the sky to buy it. I appreciate you guys concerns, but I'm telling y'all the situation at hand here. I have to or I'm up **** Creek without a paddle...

Maybe a junkyard has a good fuel line?

you need a 3/8 fuel line repair kit
or 1 foot 3/8 STEEL line and 1 compression fitting
should be less than $15 at any auto parts store

Ok I have the money now to fix it with a 3/8 steel fuel line repair kit. How did u bend that steel pipe into that S shape? Or is that a piece u already bought shaped like that ?...Ended up being my plug wires were crossed causing the lack of power. Drove fine since then but now it's stalled on me twice this week, then started the "crank no start" thing but ran fine... Until today. It started to sputter in first gear, then stalled on me 3x today, started right up the first 2 times, and didn't start again until I sprayed starting fluid in the throttle body. It would idle and sputter, and idle at high rpm (1000-1300). When I put it in D and accelerate, it sputters and dies at 2000 rpm. Due to the leak at the fuel pressure when I turn the key off, I'm assuming the fuel pressure regulator is bad, leaking, or failing, so I'm going to replace it. What size tamper proof torx bit to remove it from the spider? I know it's T15 for the adjustment but I don't know if the ones that are holding it in are the same size.
