While taking the '50 1/2 ton for a spin around the block today she died on me. Everything was going just fine until she coughed a couple of times and died. Managed to get it restarted and backed around to head home and she died again in the street. Walked back home and brought a friend with a Jeep and 5 gals. of gas. Wouldn't start. Pointed her downhill and popped the clutch.........VaaaRoooom! Got nearly all the way home and she coughed, sputtered, and died again. Chris towed me home. He noticed a big black carbon spot on my driveway where I had started her up. Tried again and she started up so I could put her in the garage.

Any idea what's wrong with the truck? I'm thinking fuel pump, or clogged filter. It has NO inline filter. Chris says maybe fouled plug or plugs. By the way, it's got a 216 ci. with 3 on the tree. Any help would be appreciated.
