Interesting thought when I bought the truck the timing was off a little but the guy who I bought it from said he straightened it out. Could that actually make the truck run bad instantly though cuz there was no gradual decline in power it just pretty much changed instantly.

On another note advanced auto said sounds like the exhaust is plugged if the headers glew red so its only got the headers on it right now and I'm replacing the O2 sensor right now.

When u found that the timing was off, did the shop say if it was the timing chain or if the valves themselves became off timing?
