So here's the new concern. When I go to start the truck in the morning it cranks up right away but then if I don't give it throttle after start for about 5 seconds or so, it starts to idle roughly, almost sounds like the engine is choking, bogging out. Sounds like a bad smokers cough with the shakes. It is usually pretty cold here, below freezing, but the truck is always plugged in to the block heater. After I give it throttle she runs fine for the rest of the day. I was going to start with water/fuel separator drain. I have already installed new fuel filter, new air filter too, it was due. She is an 86, 6.9idi, with 153,000 miles. Always appreciate the help gents.
