Offhand, could be o2 sensor, or fuel pressure. Way too many variables here without knowing what you have and haven't done. Check engine light ever come on?

i dont have cats on it ive replced the crank sensor bc it was throwing that code but the truck hasnt had cats on it for atleast 5 years and it ran fine so i dont have o2 sensors anymore ive also replaced plugs wires cap and rotor i cleaned the throttle body thats about all i have done to it since the truck started running like **** im starting to think its the fuel pump but its not a constant thing only when i give it gas it starts to spudder it ran perfect until about a 2 months ago

Are you absolutely certain that it has no oxygen sensor(s)? You should have a CEL that won't stay gone and a truck that gets really crappy gas mileage if there's no upstream oxygen sensor installed.

i dont have cats and well i do have o2 sensors that were in the cats i had welded spark plug nuts to them so i could put them back in the pipes but it didnt help so they have been unplugged ever since and hasnt affected anything but my gas mileage i get around 8 mpg in town and about 12mpg highway
