k so driving my truck an it started to lose power everytime i hit about 30 and 40. then the day after i started it up and was driving and it started backfiring with some white smoke. wasnt doing it too bad just when i got on the throttle. by the end of the night on my drive home it would backfire everytime i stepped on the gas and i had to keep a little throttle on at stop lights or it would die. didnt let it till i got home but when i did it died before i even parked it. now she wont start.. is it my lifter pump maybe? please any and every comment people have please post i need help

Its something with your fueling. My grandpas 24v does the same thing. Lift pump would be my guess.

Could be an air leak, could be a fuel supply problem, could be a broken spring inside the injection pump.

I'd start with a fuel supply issue... Either a leak, pressure problem, or obstruction. Could also be a bad fuel issue... When did you fill up last? Change your filter and see if it runs better.
