Re: Not sure what my Trucks issue is - HELP!
A few things when troubleshooting anything:
Never assume because something is new fresh out of the box or freshly rebuilt that it is in perfect working shape.
On something like this check or recheck the simple things.
Timing
Firing order
Look inside the cap for cracks, carbon tracking or damage
Check the fuel system from cap to carb and if you did any work on something in close proximity to the fuel line anywhere on the truck check the line in that area.
If you have an inline filter take it off and tap the inlet tube on a flat surface and see if crud comes out.
If you haven't done a compression test recently I would suggest doing one to make sure that you do have decent even compression in all cylinders.
Lastly an quite important do not make more than one change when changing or checking things. I've seen too many cars that guys changed all too many things on trying to fix a simple problem and still don't have it fixed. One change at a time and then test it and decide on the results.
