I'm not sure where it would be located on your truck as it's a diesel but somewhere (probably under the hood) you'll find a ignition condenser. It looks identical to what a condenser from a points ignition system does but instead of a terminal it will have a longer wire and a plug in connector. It suppresses radio noise interference same as a points system, id locate it as its the main suspect in my books
