Thanks for the information.

Hunting normally means the engine is surging, like the rpm's are going up and down.

A cylinder balance test is just a test used to compare all the cylinders against each other. This is ussed to find a weak cylinder

If the truck will not go over 40 and does not turn on the check engine light, the test ibwould want to ruun is the fuel pressure test. Your engine should have between 65 and 85 psi. If it is low, I would suspect a weak fuel transfer pump since you have replaced the regulator.

Please reply back if you need more help.
