Power gone.
Here’s the situation. Hoping it’s not the ignition timing being off.
Ran out of gas (gauge broken). Anyway put a little in from a gas can, had a little water in it. Got to the gas station put in good gas. Ran okay but seemed off for 2 days. Then was been getting low again. Going up an Ozark hill, it would not kick into overdrive. Just stayed slow. Then, it’s sputtering and getting slower on level ground when I put on the gas pedal (idles all right). Put in gas. Doesn’t help. Step on gas and it hesitates/pops/sputters at about 10-15 mph. I find the Vacuum hose going from the pcv valve to the throttle body housing is broken/hole in it. Replace it. A little better. Check Pcv valve, it’s frozen closed with gunk. Clean it so I can hear the valve rattle and move. It’s a little better. Idles okay. Press on gas it hesitates/pops/sputters at about 35 40 mph and won't go faster.
Thanks,
Jim

Fuel filter, and past that - what motor and what year is your truck?
I got some bad gas in my 1988 3.9 with the throttle body injectors, and it took a couple of tanks of gas to get it back right.
I'd also be fixing that gas gauge soonest.

It was water in the tank. Anyway, it's a '93. Fuel filter is in-line against the frame under the drivers side. Fuel pump is in the tank. '93 was the last year that the fuel filter was not in the tank.
