Year, make, model and engine of your truck? Is the check engine light on? Are you getting any codes that can be read on an OBD2 scanner?

5.7?? Or is that a typo? Should be 5.2 or 5.9.

Yeah, need to check for codes.

Sounds like its time to hook up an OBD2 scanner to your truck and find out what codes the PCM is seeing to help diagnosis the issue(s).
