    My light doesn't come on when I turn the key :hmm:
    My dad was thinking maybe fuel, because I've been running premuim instead of reglular lately. Do you think that could possibly do it? I just put seafoam and fill the tank up with regular a couple hours ago to see if that would help.

    Go to auto zone and have the codes checked. I bet there is some stored codes. It sounds spark related to me. Is it skipping at idle or just while giving it gas?

    Id check the codes first and then go from there. If there is any stored codes, it will give you a clue of where to start. I dont like throwing parts at a truck. Id rather figure out the problem.

    Does it misfire? I know when I had 2 misfires (wire fell off the plug) and it would drive good but used a lot of gas and when it would shift the exhaust would make a loud bad ass aggressive sound.

    Quick update, Im thinking its a fuel problem. I didn't wake up until 6:00 this afternoon and advanced and o'reilly's closed at 7:00 so i could have them check codes. But The truck ran a litttle better today, accleration was smoother as i continued to drive. Tomrrow I still gonna head and have the codes ran though

    Ok, so i took it took advanced this morning. First I learned my Check engine light doesn't work:Grenade: But I had two codes, 2 cylinder misfire, and O2 sensor. So my question is now, were are the spark plugs on this engine? Also do the bad O2 sensors have any effect on the truck?
