The Lightning is having some kind of problem whenever you get on it. Driving everyday normal speeds.. it runs perfectly. Whenever you get on it though, its real choppy and kind "sputters". THe supercharger almost sounds "muffled". I had the Fuel filter replaced and it ran good for about 2 weeks. NOw its back to doin the same exact thing it was doing before. The truck has right at 80,000 miles on the clock & the air filter is cleaned on a regular basis. Is it time for new sparkplugs? Just trying to get some ideas.. or see if anyone else has had this problem. :shrug:

I've ruled out the bad gas, since I go through a tank in about 3 days. So I've gone through quite a few tanks. I am gonna try to the plugs this weekend, and then the coil pak if I have to. Thanks for the ideas & I'll keep you guys updated.
