Engine skipping-shuttering. Power loss.

Yesterday my truck started skipping-shuttering. No dash lights came on.
My tools were in the other truck, so i decided to head towards home (about 10 mikes and i got home). I was moving slowly when it started. I was in town so my speed was limited. It did not quit running till i shut it off at home.
I am thinking UVCH for drivers side (replaced passengers side a couple of years ago-symptoms then were worse).
I have a Superchips tool but have never tried to use it to troubleshoot. I am sure it has limited capability.

Usually the issues with the UVCH will be accompanied by a SES light, and the code P1316. But if you haven't done the 50 cent mod to that side it is good preventative maintenance.

Recent fuel stop? Clogged fuel filters? I would ask what the fuel level is but should be fine since your sig says Hutch mod, unless the pickup fell off, or the duckbill cracked.

You SC should be able to pull a code if there is one.

Good.

I will closely check the truck friday evening or saturday. I may change the inline filter and drive around the block to see if it clears up.
