Alright everyone I am new to this as you know, thanks for the help on figuring out what kind of truck I have, but I am having some motor problems.
The truck is slow to start from cold. (40*F here) it takes 2 or 3 cycles of 20 to 30 seconds of cranking to start with a minute or 2 wait in between, when it does start, its rough till it warms up, smooths out and Idles great at about 750 or so, It will sit there and Idle all day long no problems, except the exhaust is black and will almost burn your eyes.... But when you take off and go down the road I can only get a couple of hundred feet and it starts dying out dont even get to 3rd gear and dies. then when it finally does start back it wont idle and I have to keep it at 1500 or more to keep it running, but it keeps dying out takes for ever to get back to the garage,,,,, I changed the fuel filters thinking that was it and the air filter too., Fuel pump is on the outside of the tank and pumps good lots of pressure. Tank is full of black crud like tar and sand,,,, running out of a 5 gallon can now, till I get tank cleaned out.... Any Ideas on what the problem is?????????
