i called the dealership and my PSI for my year is 36, he said my PSI is high enough that it would not cause any major hesitation on starting or stalling out.

the only thing im thinking is maybe it jumped time some where along the line, i have good fire so i dont know yet. Im going to mess witht it more later on today

Wow,thats a helluva leap of faith.You spent 2 min on the blower with a guy who works at the dealership.Probably a service writer,and they arent mechanics,and more importantly, they are jerkohffs.You think they are going to help you fix your truck.Cant make money like that.You have been given the info you need to troubleshoot the problem.If you werent going to do it,why ask?I would tell you how to check to see if its in time,but I doubt you would do it.

Does it run at all and, if so, does it idle rough, backfire etc?

Actually it's not a leap of faith considering the guy i talked to is a friend of my brother inlaw's who builds engines for a hobby. he knows his **** and wont give me faults information.

Yes it runs fine once it starts, it doesnt spit pop or idle rough. It's just a pain in the *** to start thats all.

Then I doubt its out of time.If you have an expert in your pocket then you certainly dont need my input.I dont build engines for a hobby,I build them for a paycheck.Sounds like you might need the dealerships assitance.Would certainly be cheaper than rolling the diagnostic dice.I just was under the assumption that you wanted to fix it yourself,hence my .02

Im going to fix it my self, iv just coverd all the basic "known" issues and none of them corrected the problem so i turned to matthew " friend " to see what his input was on the issue since he has access to WAY more data than i could ever get my hands on by my self, only thing he suggest that i do is check the timing to make sure it's not jumping and also check the coil to make sure it's putting off consistant spark and not arching off and grounding out causing the truck to stall when it first spins over.
