    Well, I put it all back together. Did the finishing touches and some covers yesterday.
    Lean running / high idle is still there. Maybe I should hook the loggers and scope on it again and try to find out what sensor may be messing with me.
    Took a little drive out to get some free beer ( nice to have a few good contacts with some local breweries ). I had issues with the clutch though. Normal driving was ok but trying for fast accelerations did not work. Clutch slipped. Drove to the brewery and before I got there it seemed to have gone away. After my shopping I drove home passing the speed limit a little and had no further issues with the clutch. Not sure what could have caused that. I cleaned everything up with brake cleaner.

    What a pain is it out here to not have your own wheels for over a month.

    Could be some oil or coolant leaked onto the flywheel or clutch somehow, which eventually got baked/scrubbed away by driving.

    If you have a cable-operated clutch, check the cable freeplay at the adjuster. Pull the cable housing towards the front of the truck and screw the star nut adjuster snug against the rubber bushing at the firewall -- or if it's already tight, back it off until it's slack, then make it barely snug again. Press the clutch pedal several times, then pull the housing forward again and back off the star nut adjuster until there's a gap of 15/64" (6mm). Hydraulic clutch is a bit trickier, will get into that if you have this.
