Evening guys, I’m at my wits end with this truck and hoping you can Help me out. I’ve got a 99 1500 SLT with the 5.9 engine 165,000+- miles.
To start the truck would randomly stutter acting like it was going to die going down the road and at stop signs, developing to where it would start to die at stop signs or while idling unless you brought the RPMs up. Along with this the truck won’t pull it self out of a mud puddle. Absolutely zero power.
One other thing when it acts like it wants to die it sounds like it’s pulling super hard vacuum, such as there is a large vacuum leak. Can’t find any vacuum leaks.
These are the things I’ve replaced
1: Idle Air Control valve
2: Mass Air Flow Sensor
3: Camshaft Sensor
4: Crankshaft Sensor
5: Ignition Rotor and Cap
6: Ignition Wires and Plugs
7: Coil
8: Intake and Plenum Gaskets (most recent)
9: PCV
(I’m sure I missed something)
Checked
1: Timing it’s dead on.
2: Fuel pressure is also right in specs on the rail.
Please help me out guys I need a truck to get firewood for the house. The transmission went out in my other truck. It’s been a real crappy year for vehicles.
Thanks for any information it’s all helpful.
