I pulled intake and heads gaskets looked good was running lean and found vacuum line going to egr valve broken. I'm about to pull my hair out with this thing.
Welcome to the board!

Are you getting the 229 degree reading from the temp gauge or from the ECM data?

Did you set the timing to Zero or 4 degrees BTDC?

Does your truck have a canister purge valve? I have run across several 1 ton trucks leaking vacuum at the canister purge valve.

If it is modified from what came stock from the factory, let us know that too.
