where i get my fuel there are lots of trucks fueling and ive never had a problem with there fuel not sure what the problem is the computer on my 95 is different so i cant try it thanks

The computer has nothing to do with how the truck runs.
Check your shutoff solenoid and make sure its all the way up. There are some basic checks that can be recommended but its a much better idea to take the truck to a shop with a qualified tech, and allow them to diagnose it.

With the little information you have posted I see three possible issues.
1: if the truck is running but makes no power a blown intercooler boot.
2: slipped injection timing.
3: cracked injector or failed injector.

we removed the shut off solenoid had a problem with it before its ok truck doesnt run or start right now next step is to check injector pump timming we had it off a while back for rocker gasket change thanks any other ideas

I vote timing has slipped.

thats what happened to me ...... really sucks ...:argh:

The pump timing or the rocker cover gasket the rocker cover gaskets a big job I ordered jobber gaskets cork junk never put them in went to cummins got the rubber ones well worth the money not a job you want to do for fun still haven't had time to check pump timing I hope that's the problem thanks for the help
