Another update. I am trying the trick whare you put atf in the oil for a minute or two and hopefully it will clean up the valves enough. wee will just have to wait and see. anyways, I put a timing light on it, just for poops and giggles.....guess what? I put the light on number two and took note of the rate of spark, then on number 6....poof, what a differance, number 6 is firing twice as fast as number 2, I didnt put the light on any other wires, just wanted to post this up to see what you guys thought of it. I have this same question posted on a couple of forums in hopes that someone will have an answer, thanks for all the help so far.

I am thinking the ecm is going out. I have thought that for a while too. Perhaps a trip to a stealership for a recode is in order. Seriously, I am about out of patience for this truck, I have done alot to it and still have the same issues.

Its been a while. Here is an update. I have moved to upstate NY so the truck work was put on hold. There is a head bolt that is stripped. I cant say for sure weather it was by me or a PO. What is the tourque on these darned things? So I need to get the bolt out to change the head gaskett and do a valve job. There was / is a TON of gunk under the valve covers, I can only imagine what it looks like under the rest.

So, I changed the head gasket, cleaned the snot out of the heads and reassembled everything. Started it up and it ran fine for a few minutes. I also got a new alternator.
It ran for a few minutes fine, I was happy, then it started to run rough again and I was sad. It will idle fine, then surge, then fine again. it will also run high while in drive, like I need to put extra effort on the brake for it to stop. Any thoughts?
