Re: Help 97 truck popping through the exhaust

I bought this truck brand new in 1996, but traded it in 2000, i just bought it back in May, and it never really ran right, i talked to the guy that owned it, and he had the motor rebuilt in 2001, when the truck had 100,000 miles on it, and (to his knowledge) hasn't had the dist out since. I checked the distributor when it was out, and hit seemed tight and in good shape, do you think that he drove around with it out one tooth for 75K miles and over 6 years????? or do you think that the timing chain jumped a tooth?

thanks
David
