E85
I have a WT 4800 -- what does it take to make it E85 compatible short of pulling engine and all from a 5.3 Z vin vehicle?

Re: E85
www.flextek.com sells conversion kits. They plug into your injectors and supposedly work quite well.
They have been used quite a bit around here and supposedly have been fairly trouble free.

Re: E85
We have a lot of E85 stations way up here, but corn is king here. Verasun, the second largest producer of ethanol is also headquartered in our town so that doesn't hurt either.
If you get your truck going on E85 let us know. I have thought about getting mine going on it.
