BH,

What exactly has the dealer done? I have been very skeptical of this whole flex fuel idea.... my guess, is that the plugs should all be replaced in the truck for starters, now that he is back to running regular gas and I assume has run through many tank fulls.... I would also run something like Star-tron through the fuel system as well.

After your son-in-law I know of no one that has tried E85......
