ok sorry for the delay, i got a random miss fire code, so i just have to find which COP it is. (uncle didnt have the cool scanner)

I think there might be something wrong with the fuel system as well, if i turn the ignition on and wait about 5 seconds there is a short "bbbvvrr" noise. i need to do a full tune up on my truck as well, but first i need to redo the front axle, and get 2-37 inch tires. so thats gunna eat all my money right there.... any way good luck with your truck magic dragon, lookin forward to your results.

Ok, so I have cleaned the MAF sensor, replaced the fuel filter, air filter, oil filter and oil. The truck definitely runs a little better, but still has a stutter. I plan to do plugs and maybe wires before getting into anthing majorly costly. Keeping my hopes up and fingers crossed!

I finally got to the engine.... fuse was bad for ODB port, changed it, got a miss fire on cylinder #7, got a coil over plug for $25 at the auto wreckers recycling place. changed the plug and coil. runs great now! just did a tranny filter change and flush, EVEN BETTER!! hope you got your truck goin man!
