    Update....I cyphoned out the existing, possibly bad fuel. I put five gallons of fresh fuel in. The Service Engine light is still on after driving for 30 miles. I am waiting to see if the light goes out and see how the engine runs. I will be able to get the truck scanned at a dealer next...

    Joe, would the bad fuel cause the Service Engine Light to come on? I had both batteries checked and they are both good. When the Service Engine Light goes out, the truck definetaly picks up power, buuuut that is when the engine runs the worst.......

    Thank'ya'all for your input. This will give me some avenues to pursue. Although the timing of the problems started after I filled the truck up with fuel last December. It is not an every day driver and I have been trying to run the fuel out of it to see if in fact the fuel is the problem. It...

    Boyz, as the long title says, i need some major help. My truck has been running like absolute crap!!! It actually barely runs. The idle is VERY erratic and jumps up and down, surges, chokes the engine out but then catches itself and then eventually dies. I am not sure if it is bad fuel, or...
