Truck runs like crap

This is probably a real long shot, but is there a chance that fancy chrome air cleaner is shorting out your spark plug wires or maybe the coil wire? Run it without the air cleaner and see what it does.

Double check your work. If you cant find anything ask a buddy that is good with cars to take a look.

Make sure...

Spark plugs are gapped correctly
Check wires for damage
Make sure everything is hooked up correctly
Check for spark at each cylinder

If the spark plug wires are touching each other with that affect it?

Certainly can. They should be separated. If the wires cross or touch, the spark can actually jump to the incorrect wire causing firing at the wrong time.

How can I deprecate the wires I fixed an exhaust leak the best I could it still pops when I rev it in park and it doesn't sound too good even with a glass pack muffler on.

You meant "separate"? I'm asking only because I think that's an auto-correct typo and you might've meant something else. I don't think you meant to condemn the wires, at any rate.

If you meant to separate the wires, you need a wire loom. It's a flat piece of plastic with four c-clips molded in. You simply press the wire(s) into the loom.

I still can't figure it out can't find any holes. The only thing I see is a small pipe going from the cat all the way up to the top of the engine. I still have no idea what that is

Does anyone know about spark plug non foulers in o2 sensor holes I see it works on a lot of cars and truck running bad.

you got to stop hijacking other peoples thread. you need to keep your truck issues in your thread so that you don't confuse people who may try to help the original poster solve his issue. you need an o2 sensor installed in your exhaust somewhere to make it run properly. you got to find the wires for it and install it in the exhaust close to where the wires are.

a non fouler would be useless on a truck like this since you only have 1 o2. the non fouler is meant to trick a vehicle with at least 2 o2 sensors. it would make a truck like these run like ****

No I figured it out.

The o2 sensor is on the drivers side manifold. I'm sorry but I've been trying to fix my truck for a while without going to a mechanic.
