no power

brintam4398 · 08-18-2007, 07:02 PM

I was on my way home from work and my truck acted like it had little or no fuel (or power). It would idle but no power at all. You give it gas and it wants to die. No check engine light or anything. It is an 01 stock with 19,500 miles. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you!

I have an 02 and I have had it in to the mechanic several times. The number 8 spark plug keeps breaking. I get it fixed and it will run right for about 2-3 weeks and then has the same problems. I was up in Kansas for the Lightningfest 5 and got alot of help from the Hollywood racing team. We checked out the plug to see if that was the problem again and it was fine, it was running on the lean side but we got it back to where it is suppose to be. We drove it back to Oklahoma and it is not running right again. We need some help.

We bought it stock with 50,000 miles. Since then we have went with flowmaster catback, 6 lb pulley, JBL cold air kit and SCT handheld tuner. Now it has 56,000 miles on it.
