Quick question....When you posted this:

"ok i have done that i got it out and put the new one in and it seemed to work then did it again, i myself have put bosch platinum plugs, wires, cap, rotor button, tps, new coil, new fuel pump assembly and a new fuel tank filler, and i have tried to change the timing with a digital and standard timing light with effect "

How did you attempt to set timing?

And these trucks sometimes do not like platinum plugs I am told.

loosen the bolt for the distributor and with it running i would turn it very slighty while my dad watching the mark to see if it moved and the thing never moved, so i attempted to put it back in the right spot, also i am having to prime the motor to get it to start you know key on key off key on and try it but sometimes itll just sit there and chug like a tractor on low power

sounds like the timing is messed up. If you put a new distributor cap on it etc.. did you have the number one plug wire on the cap at the 6-7 oclock position. ? I think it's 18436572 CW rotation , if it's slightly off it runs rough. It was that way when I got it and I redid the wires. look at how to time it (earlier in this thread).

Turning the distributor doesn't do anything with ignition timing, it changes INJECTOR timing. Ignition is totally controlled by the PCM. (uses crank sensor input, moving the crank sensor will change timing, but, isn't easy....)
