Damn
Truck wasn't running right, had a bad spark plug wire or 2, they were arcing out.
So i got some new ones, put them on today. now truck is running worse and getting hot quick.
I would rather spend the rest of my night changing glow plugs or an injector harness then mess with these god forsaken spark plugs.

Check out your distributor. It sounds like it is advancing too much or too early. That will cause it to run hot for sure.
You can see if they are archng out by getting a buddy to hold the brake while accelerating a little bit. Not enough to move the truck but just to add some resistance onthe motor. Do this at night or in a shop with all the lights out.
This way you will be able to isolate the bad wire.
I replaced the wires neal. You could see them arc in the day time! Over 3/8's of an inch arc. It was crazy.
I think i'ma go pick up new wires today. Just not buy wires from my regular shop. I really like to support the local places that are not main chains. But sometimes their parts are just not up to par.
If somebody would hurry up and buy my motorcycle, this would all be over with.
And buy the way. I Don't want anyone wearing on my new clutch but me. You know most people are not good enough to hold the brake, accelerate and use the clutch properly.
I really want to do that project man. the problem is, my body and frame are not... 100%
Something is tweaked in the front end of my truck. I'd rather grab a good body/good frame truck with no engine then do the swap.
