Alright ...awhile back I posted about my loss of power problem. We checked the timing as suggested and it was way off even though the previous mechanic claims to have set it during a recent tuneup. After setting the timing, the truck runs much better.

The funny thing though is it is maxed out on the rotation of the distributor. Can it be that it had jumped a tooth on the timing chain? I can now hear a sound that may be the timing chain guide. Any thoughts?

BTW- Thanks for all the many helpful suggestions. And the rear noise was the u-joint.
