If it feels like your truck is missing, the most common cause is defective plug wires. Remove your wires, shake them a bit and re-install them. If the problem is worse, replace the wires. If not, then your plugs could be finished. If you have the coil on plug ignition system, replace the plugs first. If none of this helps, you may need to seek professional help. Have fun, GlennMc.
