Yours is defenatly good enough. F^ck, your truck is acually used as a TRUCK. Mine is weekend rider, winter wheeler, and for when we go on road trips.

I wonder how my orange grille would look on a blue truck? Maybe i should do it to my S10(which, by the way is the slow ***, gas sipping, work truck)

But lets stay on topic, I miss hearing the exhaust already!!

I followed this tread and i think you're in the right direction. You said that when you changed your cap and rotor that it ran fine for a moment?
Post your results of a compression test, that will give clarity on this subject.
Also, when you change your cap and rotor, change the spark plug & wires as well, costs not that much but then you know that you are safe on that matter (you have to do this anyway at some point in the life of the truck).
Hope this helps!

Greetz,
