    Confused....new truck owner...

     



    Hello,
    New member here with a question. First let me describe my recently aquired truck. It's a Ford F150 Lightning with a Chevy 383 Stroker motor in it....yeah, I know, I know...very unusual and we can talk about it any other time, but right now the issue is the engine possibly
    having bad gas.....
    Here are the symptoms:
    -Loss of power,self explanatory
    -Not holding the rpm...this is driving me nuts...I've filled up this truck's gas tank 3 times and not until the third(same gas station the last two times) is when these issues started happening. Gas consumption has doubled and I need to step on the gas to keep the rpm at 2500 for it not to slip all the way down and shut off...
    I dropped off my truck at the shop so I'll find out exactly what's wrong but I thought this would be a good way to introduce myself to this forum.

    BTW, here's a link to a video to give you an idea of my beast
