    Hey all. Hoping someone can help. Truck fires up, and then stutters and runs rough and dies. Fire it up again, does the same for 5-10 minutes...when I first start driving, it's low on power amd wants to stall. But after 10 minutes or so, the issue is gone. Any idea what's going on? No service lights whatsoever. I put two cans of Seafoam in it today, but so far nothing.

    It seems like a clogged fuel filter, or bad gas or faulty pump.

    If not ffv could be fuel related or airflow related. I'd start with spark plugs, air filter, maf sensor.

    Maybe that fuel ECU/Relay that sits inside the passenger bed side? I think if the fuel was bad it would struggle from the start. I had issues with bad gas when I filled up on base and I would stall out 2 miles outside the gate, usually having issues idling like a big boy breathing after sprinting. I would troubleshoot that relay or ECU or whatever its called, my SC did the same thing until I replaced the EFI relay, but this is apples to oranges.

    Hey all. It's the fuel pump. New part on its way. When I put my ear to the fuel tank, it was making strange noises. Struggling to make pressure basically. I had replaced the plugs, MAF and two cans SeaFoam in the tank as I thought was bad gas
