You need to check the codes in CM.
But sounds like you have a lack of fuel pressure.
You may want to put a fuel pressure gauge on it and drive it to see what the fuel pressure is as you drive it. Should range between 30-32psi at idle and 40psi at WOT.

It looks that way. You will only have 2 or 3 digit codes, not both.

Sounds like it is time for a compression test.

Hello! Did you ever figure out the issue? My truck (1992) dies while driving uphill for the first time last week when I was driving. Once I got her to the flats, she ran OK, but the slightest hill would make her sputter. Thanks!
