It sounds like the cam timing is off.... Are you getting a P1345?

If you are looking at a cam retard PID and it's -29°. With the truck running you need to move the dist and get that PID to zero degrees. Snap the throttle everytime you move the dist a bit so the PID will update....

It's also possible you may have a bad dist......They have a problem with the gears...


What type of scanner are you using?
