    Ok guys some of you may have read this in the "What have you done" post. But here is the problem. Took truck to Advance Auto and had the cpu read. It didnt give a code just a Bank 1 running lean. Do they know how to really read these things. Researched a little. Found a couple of things, So far I have cleaned the Throttle body. Want to clean the MAF but sorry don't really know where that is. Looked at the connections of the 02 upstream sensor, blew them off. Cranked truck up ran for 5 min. Every time I start it up, it idle's like I got a huge cam in it. Then after about a 20 seconds of doing that is comes back up to normal idle.

    BUCKLE UP! It makes it harder for Aliens to pull you out of your Truck.
    With the truck idling take the handle of a screw driver and lightly tap the MAF sensor; if the idle changes you need a new (or rebuilt) MAF sensor.
