What have you done to your rig today?

Worked on the cracks @Jody Treadway found for me.

Went to crank up the trucks and let them run for a little bit to warm up; my 6.5 turbo diesel truck fired off no problem surprisingly but my Vortec 454 truck struggled. Had to crank it and pump the throttle (don't know how much good it did but it made me feel better) and I got it to fire off, it hit and miss for a few revolutions and finally cleared up running on all 8 cylinders.
Well it ran and drove fine, it's started up no problem but I tested fuel pressure and found this. Vortec 454s like 58-62 PSI but I didn't come close.

Womp womp. I suspect it's the fuel pressure regulator being bad (again) since it'll have a hard hot start every once in a while but this is new. Possibly because of the cold snap and sitting? I don't know, I'll have to find some time to dig in and tinker with it or find the money to farm it out to someone who can tinker with it.
