Never done a compression check. The code now says random cylinder misfires cylinders 2,3,4,5,6,8. I was informed i may have the fuel sycronization off because i have moved and had the distributor out before. The truck is going to the dealer in the morning to get hooked up to the computer and the fuel sync set correctly. Im thinking that will fix my problems if not we will see what the tech dillweed says.
