I will look at that again, the OFV is brand new from LarryB, installed that a week ago. Gauge was a 20$ cheapie from O'Reillys. I could have been reading the numbers incorrectly too.

OK, truck was idling at about 18psi, got under and pinched the hose, wife said it slowly climbed to about 35psi at most.

If the OFV is good though, could the return still let it hard start? Wouldn't it just leak out? I will go ahead and replace that one too.
