Alright yall i have no idea what happened but my engine died on me this morning going to pass someone it made almost like a grinding or clunking noise when it happened it has the 5 speed behind it any ideas what to check would be appreciated.

 

It might be too simple but is your filter old?

 

no I just did an oil change a few weeks ago
I'm beginning to think I broke a timing gear

 

ok. I just reread your post. I don’t know for sure about the noises.
I change my fuel filter annually and it runs much better.
timing gear? I am interested in what leads to that conclusion and if it is the problem. I may be in your shoes one day. Thanks

So it DIDN'T make a grinding or clunking noise?That's ALL you're gonna tell us about the truck? You should put ALL the truck's details & history (as much as you know) into your signature so it shows with each post, as this page explains:

Phone apps don't always show signatures, so you may need to switch to a real browser in desktop mode on your phone, or just use a desktop/laptop computer. Put your location (nearest city) in your profile & upload an avatar of the truck. The more pics you post of the truck, engine, wiring, labels, & undercarriage, the more likely we can help you. Not all its details are relevant to these issues, but you don't necessarily know which ones are relevant, so just put everything in now.How about the oil level & quality? If you think the timing gears broke, pop the distributor cap off and check if the rotor moves when you bump the starter.

 

sorry for taking so long i forgot i posted in here. it ended up being the blade on the rotor had come loose so it was getting spark but not enough.
