Personally no but that seems to be the mood tonight for a few members here Did you change the cap and rotor? Pull number 8 plug and look at it? Checked the firing order?

Still sounds like a misfire, double check the injector wires and plug wires and make sure they're all plugged in if you haven't already.

I will check the plugs tomorrow, have to wait on my brother to bring me some deep sockets. Guess that will be my next tool purchase. Thanks again ya'll, and btw Merc, your truck is exactly what I want mine to look like! So awesome!

Let us know what you find when you pull the plugs.

Thank you for the complement

Sorry this update took so long. Been freezing! Plugs were bad (they were black) so changed them out. Still having same problem. Truck won't stay running at all plus a good amount of water comes out of my exhaust.

Water, or coolant?

Black plugs indicates running rich. Check the temp sensor.

You're feeling good that you installed everything right? Like you got the intake manifold gaskets on there good and so forth? Did you do anything else when you fixed your plenum?

Just water out of the exhaust. I do feel that I did everything right with the plenum change. I triple checked everything before uninstall and reinstall. Too scared to mess anything up lol! How would I go about checking the temp sensor? What do I need to look for? Thanks!

On your truck, if the temp gauge reads correct, sensor is prolly workin'.

It reads correctly. I am going to put an ad on craigslist and see if someone has a code reader I can use. I can't afford to keep trying out stuff, I need this fixed asap. Will update if/when it's fixed. Thanks again everyone for the help!!!
