bad ignition coil
Have you done any rewiring on this truck as far as ignition switch to coil wire? The wire that runs from your ignition switch to your coil that provides 12V is a resistor wire or it will have a resistor in series with it. The reason for this is if you put the whole 12V from the battery to ignition coil (except during starting) you will burn up the coil.
