Ran rough last night initially.

Well my truck sat for 2 days then i tried fireing it up. Usually i have been having a problem when i first crank up where the idle falls hard sometime i have to give her gas to level it out then its fine. Well last night i crunk her up and the usual gave it gas got it leveled out, and it was fine without load just revin it. But as soon as i was in gear under any sort of load it was falling al lover itself, and it took about 5 minutes to act right. Is this my other Fuel pump kicking over? It was fine after it was warmed up a little and thats the first time it acted that bad.

try the fuel filter and fresh spark plugs. those are magic fixes to this problem. i used to have it with my 82 F100 and this flareside i have now. those 2 fixes solved the problem easy as pie.

Well the plugs are pretty new I regapped them the othheer day to .046 and I put a new fuel filter on and plug wires at the same time. makes me think the fuel pump may kick the bucket in the near future.

yeah. that would quiet possibly be the issue if you've replaced the other things.

I just got in it and it lost its power throughout the whole range now. I looked at the fuel guage and the pressure seems to be slightly dropping off when giving it gas. Rather than going up.
