I was wondering if you can tell me why when I put my truck in gear it wants to stumble or hard idle and it goes sluggish down the road. I moved my timing forward some and it seemed to help but not much, could my timing be off ? I pulled the top of timing cover and I put it at top dead and the mark on my timing cover at top is pointing at one tooth before the number one and arrow. Thanks any help will be greatly appreciated!
