Get a fuel preasure gauge and see how much psi the pump is putting out...that will help eliminate the fuel pump if it isn't it.

preasure is fine tested good but now im out of ideas :evil:

Back a couple of posts, usually when the fuel pump on those trucks goes bad, they just quit, they don't slowly die and if you ever need to change it, it's easier to pull the bed off than to drop the tank.

Probably just need a good tune up, ei cap,rotor,wires and plugs. Have you tried to run it with out the air filter and see what happens? maybe the cam going flat, I think that was a problem on those engines also.

ok so if i take off the air filter what would a be looking for

Just to see if it runs any different. It's cheap to do and if it improves then theres the problem. Mostly unlikely though.
