Figgured out why the 74 is running like crapola....

In the wise words of Carl from Slingblade,

Ain't got no gas in it uhh huhhh....

Actually, tha tank is full, but the fuel pump must not be wroking because there is no gas in the fuel filter, and the truck ran progressivly worse for a while till now, when it won't start. So, here's a news flash, look for problems in the daylight! I was trying to find a problem under the hood after work with a flashlight, I was admittedly looking for something electrical, but then NOTICED the absence of gas in the clear fuel filter...I am glad it is that actually... easier to change out or at least troubleshoot a fuel delivery problem than most electrical problems!

Well thats a quick fix. Go get your new pump and get the truck running again.
