Diagnosing ignition vs fuel

I should add, I don't drive this truck very much...every few months. I'm sure the gas is oldish, and I'm thinking maybe from sitting, one of the injectors is gummed up?

So, thought I'd update on what I found, and what happened to the truck:
The stumbling issue turned out to be a few things:
- cracked vacuum line to MAF
- three plug wires that were arcing due to high heat exposure at the turbo
- fuel pump was intermittently shorting out at the sending unit pigtail
So, after replacing the fuel pump assembly, new set of wires and fixed the vacuum line, she ran like a bat out of hell. So, I had a buyer lined up to pick up Dec 27th. I went on vacation last week out of the country, and on the 4th day, receive a call from our 23 year old son. He had broken into the garage, stole the syclone for a joy ride and wrecked it. If anyone knows these trucks, the cladding is unobtanium. Two steps forward, thirty steps back

Insurance won't cover unless I file a stolen vehicle report. Son doesn't live in our home but in an apartment we rent to him.
