Default Sputtering

Hey all,
My 97 3.9 dak is at the dealer with a bad shuttering problem. It misses and sputters terribly. I'm lucky to get it to go 30 mph floored. he dealer has had it for 2 days and can't figure out what is wrong with it. any ideas?

Thanks
-Matt

will your truck idle fine? will it rev when it's in neutral? is the engine light on?
my old truck did that and it was just a clogged fuel filter. it would idle fine but when you gave it gas it would just spit and putter, it just wouldnt get enough gas for the high rpm's.
